Step inside The Alouette: Your future home at The Cedar

When you picture your next home, it’s not just about square footage or finishes — it’s about how everyday life will feel once you’re settled in. At The Cedar, the final Independent Living residence at Elim Village Garrison Crossing, suites are designed to support the rhythm of daily life, from peaceful mornings to relaxed evenings at home.

One of the few remaining suites is The Alouette floor plan, spanning 1,150 sq. ft. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms, The Alouette offers space for both privacy and connection, with two balconies that bring in natural light and fresh air. So what might a day here look like?

Morning: Sunlight, Space, and Serenity

The day begins gently as sunlight streams through the balcony doors into the primary bedroom. You stretch, take a deep breath, and step onto your private balcony, coffee in hand, feeling the warmth of the sun as you take in the stunning mountain view.

Back inside, getting ready is effortless. The large walk-in closet with upgraded shelving keeps everything organized, while the ensuite bathroom — complete with a walk-in shower and heated tile floors — adds comfort and ease to your routine.

“It’s amazing how much natural light comes through the primary balcony,” says Sales and Marketing Manager Rachel Nedelec. “It makes the bedroom feel bright and airy, and it’s a space where you can really start the day feeling refreshed.”

Daytime: Living, Cooking, and Connecting

The living and dining areas flow naturally from the kitchen, with 9-foot ceilings and luxury vinyl plank flooring giving the space a bright, modern feel. The linear fireplace adds warmth, while the living room balcony invites a pause for reading or catching up with friends.

The kitchen in The Alouette combines style and convenience. Quartz countertops with waterfall edges, white slim shaker cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, and stainless steel appliances make preparing meals a pleasure, while the upgraded pantry shelving keeps everything within reach.

“We wanted residents to enjoy both function and style in the kitchen,” Rachel explains. “Every detail makes cooking, hosting, or even just preparing a cup of coffee enjoyable. It’s a space that really encourages people to gather, create, and feel at home.”

Midday might take you out into the wider community, or you might stay in for a quiet afternoon. A load of laundry goes easily in the vented, in-suite washer and dryer. A visit to the Chehalis Café, a stroll along the scenic Vedder River, or a quick fitness class keep the day active and connected. Even when the community is bustling, the sound-dampening windows and patio doors keep the suite a peaceful retreat.

Evening: Cozy, Comfortable, and Complete

As the day winds down, the suite transforms into a space for relaxation. Dinner can be prepared effortlessly in the kitchen, or enjoyed in Summit Dining Room, just steps away. Later, you might settle in by the fireplace, or step onto your balcony to watch the sky shift colours as night falls.

“Every suite at The Cedar is designed to support residents in living fully and comfortably,” Rachel says. “From the natural light and open layouts to the thoughtful details like in-floor heated tiles and spacious closets, it’s a home that makes everyday life feel effortless.”
