About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

WATERFRONT, sun rises, gated yard, spacious porch, 1 story - Serenity!

Fantastic (waterside) lake views pull at you from sunrise to sunset; you never want to leave the porch. LARGE fenced in yard (lakeside) - peace and tranquility just 70 miles from Dallas! Sometimes, you can catch glimpses of a white heron, ducks, cardinals, and several other birds...you will feel tranquility here.

The kitchen is a home cook’s dream. This home can fit a large family, but is also perfect for just two. This home is perfect for making memories. The open concept great room has vaulted ceilings with the amazing views of the lake as the centerpiece. We are located in an area that is PERFECT for swimming. We have a paddle board for your personal use.

3 NIGHT MINIMUM STAY FOR SUMMER & HOLIDAY RENTALS.

Owners, Laura & Dan manage 3 Lake Front Properties.

We understand the need to get away and take a break in a safe, serene setting with your family. All you need to do is come and relax, sit back with your feet up and take in the beautiful lake views. Let the kids run in the fully fenced lakeside yard, fish off our small dock [or community dock] and enjoy a splash in the water.

We offer family friendly services and are available to answer your questions promptly.
A fantastic newer style home on Cedar Creek Lake. Bright and open. Whether lake levels are high or low {lake levels fluctuate - we are on a cove}, your family can play at the water's edge, collect seashells or venture out deeper to enjoy your water toys. We have a paddle board and lily pad - they can be tied up to our dock in our protected cove. You can enjoy building an evening fire in the firepit, all the while enjoying the privacy this cove has to offer your family.

There are water views from nearly every room in the house. The immense back porch makes it possible for Mom and Dad to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening while watching the kids playing in the water. Dream house is what we call it, we think you will too!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a fenced private yard.

The house was perfect for everything we needed for a relaxing weekend getaway with my family. Everything was clean and sufficiently stocked with all that you need. The wonderful back porch was my favorite place to be. Watching the lake and wildlife on a beautiful morning was everything we wanted. Roasting s'more's on an evening and grilling burgers in the back by the water was really nice. The proximity to town and surrounding restaurants and groceries was excellent. Everything within 5-10 mins. We had a lovely time staying here and visiting Cedar Creek Lake.

What a lovely vacation home! It's gorgeously done, and such a pretty porch/water view! We spent four days here fishing and just relaxing with our dog. Everything you need is truly at your disposal (great kitchen set up!) and the rooms are decorated exceptionally well and with fun, bright colors. Extra twin beds in each bedroom are so fun for kids. We felt at home instantly! There is a Brookshires just a few minutes away, so you can pick up needed groceries. Laura was an amazing host. We texted her several times and she answered immediately. The only surprise we had during our stay was that the neighbor's dog, a tiny Yorkie, is able to walk through the fence posts on the side of the house, and she greeted us on our porch steps the first evening. Our dog has issues with other dogs, so we were concerned. Laura talked to the neighbors, as did we, and they very nicely kept the dog out of our yard during the rest of our stay. Overall, a wonderful stay, superb home, and the very best host!

We loved the house. The neighborhood was quiet. My son caught a few fish. We had a family get together for our youngest child’s 10th birthday. We had 6 adults and 3 kids (10, 13, 16). There was plenty of room for all of us! The only issue we had was the white fencing by the lake was not secure. Thankfully my kids are old enough to be careful.
Nice and clean.

We had a nice 3 nights stay. The inside was clean but the outside needs a little more attention. The porch and lights were full of spider webs, the BBQ was too dirty to grilled our hamburgers on it. Also, fyi, the water is brown in the reservoir, so if you want to swim, make sure your family knows about it before you go . They have lots of spices, but few bottles were just empty ….

Beautiful house with abeautiful view!!!

The property was beautiful! It was large enough for all of our family and we made some wonderful memories! There are a few suggestions I'd like to make. The skillets very much need to be replaced. They are tired. Also, the mattresses are terrible. They are very hard. Actually there wasn't even a mattress, it was just a foam pad. Honestly i would love to stay again but will not be because of those mattresses. Everything else was great!

Perfect lake house- clean, comfortable, shaded!

We had a family reunion here! We had 12 guests staying, plus 3 more visiting with dogs during the day. All 12 had beds, not pull-out couches, including 2 young kids who slept on the bunkbeds. The house was very clean and well designed. There is plenty of seating inside and out, so we were all able to eat meals together. The huge back porch was AMAZING. We spent most of our time outside, with a view of the lake, fans on the porch, and tables for playing games. The kids loved the easy lake access off the dock, and swam every day in the cove. The water in the cove was about 2.5 feet deep, so could easily bring a boat to the dock if needed, though we just used kayaks. The house, yard, and fence are in good condition and well cared for. Bedrooms were a little small, but the beds were comfortable, so it was easily manageable, and there were plenty of towels and blankets. The owner provided a lot of amenities for kids, laundry, cooking, and outdoor use. Cooking for 12 was easy in that kitchen! We appreciated all the small touches, like shampoo in the showers and spices in the kitchen. If you are staying for more than 2 nights, bring additional toilet paper and paper towels, though there are stores and gas stations nearby. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, and we felt safe with the kids playing outdoors. We enjoyed watching all the water fowl that used the cove, including ducks. We also caught several fish, right off the dock! Will definitely stay again!

Lovely home, very clean, beautiful porch for just sitting and enjoying the peaceful lake. The kitchen is well supplied. Great to be able to use the garage. Comfortable beds. Owner/manager was easy to contact and very helpful. The location has a good view of the lake. Like all properties at Cedar Creek Lake that I know of, the neighborhoods are crowded and the other houses are really close. No big deal; just fyi. Brookshire's grocery store is close, and Cedar Creek Brewery has a fun Trivia Night on Thursdays.Wonderful to get away and be on the lake like this. We were all super pleased with this property!
