Cedar Fair Acquires Sandusky-Area Lakefront Resort
Sandusky, OH-based Cedar Fair Entertainment Company has acquired Sawmill Creek Resort in Huron, OH. The 235-acre lakefront resort is within minutes of Cedar Fair’s flagship Cedar Point amusement park. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
“We are excited about the opportunity to add Sawmill Creek to our growing portfolio of resort properties serving Cedar Point, Cedar Point Shores Waterpark and the Cedar Point Sports Center, which is currently being expanded to include an indoor sports facility,” said Cedar Fair president and CEO Richard Zimmerman.
He added that Sawmill Creek’s 236-room resort lodge “strengthens both Cedar Point’s and the Sandusky area’s appeal as a unique and adventurous vacation destination.”
Zimmerman said Cedar Fair plans to make the necessary investment in Sawmill Creek to upgrade and modernize the 45-year-old property’s guest rooms, resort facilities and infrastructure. Improvements are projected to be completed over the next two years.
