About this property

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!

Loved, loved, loved the covered patio looking out over the lake. Was a shame that the lake level was low, but it was still enjoyable. Particularly enjoyed the sunrises - so peaceful!! It was a quiet and relaxing trip - exactly what we needed. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

We enjoyed ourselves very much and the communication between ourselves and the owner was outstanding. In my opinion, the only blemish about this property is if the lake is 3 feet or more down, there isn’t any water in front of the property. However, this is a great property if you just want to relax or have a home base for the area.

Great stay with beautiful views!! The back porch and backyard were so wonderful to spend time in during all hours of the day! From sunrise to sunset, there was so much to see, boaters, jet skis and nature! We were able to bring our puppy last minute which was a huge blessing. The kitchen was great to cook in and even had lots of spices on hand which was a wonderful addition! Would definitely recommend this home for a great family stay!

Two friends and myself just had a wonderful week at your cute Waterfront house on Cedar Creek Lake. The location was great and easy to get to. We had everything that we needed including a great guide to area restaurants and things to do and a beautiful view to enjoy. We love coming to Cedar Creek Lake and hope to come back soon!

Wonderful stay

We really enjoyed our stay. The view was great and even though it was a little chilly we spent a lot of time on the deck looking at the lake. We also had a few nights outside around the firepit looking at the stars. The wife loved the kitchen as we were there during the week of Thanksgiving. It really was a great place to spend our holiday.

Excellent view, excellent stay

This house was so thoughtfully setup for hosting my family. Plenty of seating inside and outside so we could all hang out, fenced in yard so no unexpected 'visitors'. Also the kitchen had every single thing we needed to make all of our meals. Plenty of fans to cool down the house and the beds were absolutely awesome! We will definitely be staying here again.

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.

Cedar Creek Getaway

This was our first visit to Cedar Creek and we’ll definitely be back! Great location right on the water with beautiful views. We were able to fish right off the dock and caught some catfish. We loved being able to bring our dog and the fenced in yard was perfect for this! Plenty of room for our family. Communication with the hosts was prompt and very helpful. Thanks for a great first visit.

Perfect little getaway from the colors in the bathrooms to the perfect view from the porch. We enjoyed this family short vacation. Caught some fish and a buzz lol. We took advantage of making some smores under the stars with the sound of the lake. Perfect!

Beautiful home with great view

We loved our stay on this home. Laura was very quick to respond to our questions and the communication was easy. We loved the home and our favorite place was the porch seeing and hearing the water from the lake was so soothing. We spent time on the swim dock for fishing and watching the ducks. We loved it

Wonderful Experience

Came to the area to see the solar eclipse, and decided to stay at this property on Cedar Creek Lake. The house was a perfect fit for the four of us adults and two small dogs. The big back porch has an amazing lake view, and the location—only an hour from Dallas—enabled us to enjoy lake life and go into town when we wanted to. The house was clean and comfortable, and the host made sure our experience was memorable. A great stay!
