Youth church trip

This place was amazing. Perfect location, so peaceful and tons of space. Yard was so green, fire pit out back and a nice deck to sit on and watch the sunset. Loved everything about this place.

Great house for family reunion

We had a great week with our family here. Communication was excellent -- we had a few minor issues that were immediately and fully resolved. Bedrooms were great -- the extra bunk house was perfect for our teenagers! The dock has been redone and is now one level but still with some shade. The decks off the back of the house are full sun, so consider bringing shade structure if you want to use the deck in the summer. Great shade in the yard. Well stocked kitchen. It was nice to have two fridges for a big group. Lots of great small appliances (crock pot, instant pot, etc). Would recommend this home!

Great getaway

We booked this house to getaway for the weekend and have a low key celebration for my best friend’s birthday and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The house is cozy but spacious. Everything was just amazing. Truly a great place to book.

Lake Weekend Paradise

We absolutely loved our stay. The house is beautiful. 10/10. We hope to be able to stay here again next year. Main house has the master bedroom + one guest bedroom downstairs on the main floor. 2 additional 2 guests bedrooms + 2 baths upstairs. Bunk room is located in the guest suite/house, which had one bathroom and large living room area of its own.

Amazing Property!

This a beautiful, clean, well-stocked, perfectly situated home that easily accommodated our family of 12. The views were even more stunning than the house. Morgan, the property manager, was always available to answer the few questions we had. We cooked all our meals during a week-long stay at the house and had no problems. The kitchen is modern and contained almost everything we needed. The neighborhood is lovely and anything we needed to buy in Gun Barrel City was literally just minutes away. We will be back! Highly recommend!

A Piece of Paradise at Cedar Creek Lake

We absolutely loved this property and had an amazing few days there. The house is beautifully appointed and great for a large group. The owners have it well stocked with most of the little things you need in the kitchen like spices, oils, coffee pods, etc. There is also all the small kitchen appliances, plenty of pots, pans, and bakeware you would need, as well. There is an extra fridge in the laundry room which you will need for a large group. The laundry room is stocked with laundry soap as well. It’s the little details that make a property like this even better. The location on the lake is great and the lot and dock are wonderful. Management is super responsive. We would definitely come back in heartbeat. This property will not disappoint!

5 Star Lake View Stay

More than I could have expected. From the moment we drove up to the property, we felt secluded and private. The driveway was more than accommodating for our 4 cars and with room to spare for kids to scooter around. From the front door, the view to the back was absolutely what we needed to decompress from our work week. Very clean, spacious, welcoming. The bunk room over the garage was not only amazing to the kids but to the parents too! Silence is golden. Another amazing point, the kids forgot about their devices with the all the waterfront activities. The water was low but that didn't stop the kayaking and exploration of shells. We did rent a boat not to far from the house and was able to pull the boat close to the deck despite the water level. The rooms were very comfortable! Minor details of the trip that would not stop is from coming back would be the sap the covered the driveway and we thought there was a firepit. There is a gas firepit and that was used nightly. The property manager was very accommodating and accessible! Love Love Love this property! You should absolutely consider this for your next stay!

Amazing Stay for Multi-Generational Vacation

The views from the porch and great room were amazing, making even rainy days great. Everything was clean, comfy, and well-stocked. The host was super responsive and helpful when we had questions. We had 13 people from age 13 to 80. For our eldest family member, it was helpful to have a bedroom on the main floor, with no steps to entry and a bed that wasn't too high. For the teens & young adults, the bunkhouse with queen beds was a much more comfortable situation than the usual twins meant for little kids. The main house bedrooms were separated from each other, giving plenty of privacy. Lovely accomodations for a big group - we're eager to return!

Excellent Pre-Christmas Family Gathering

This was an excellent property for our family gathering. The house has great views of the lake and a large back yard with a fire pit. The house has an open design and this allowed all of our guests to visit while some cooked. There are 4 bedrooms in the main house and a bunk house, so we had many good options for sleeping. The manager responded quickly to all of our questions and comments making us feel like we were a top priority. We had no problems with the house. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. We have a 41-year-old daughter confined to a power wheelchair. There are some tight doorways and bathrooms, but we were able to make it work.Thanks to the owners, managers and staff! This is a wonderful place to spend time and enjoy the lake.

We had a couple of small items, nothing major. The BBQ grill seems to be worn out. Not very clean from the last user. Flames not working to fullest, & didn’t get hot as it should Also, there needs to be a non stick skillet. Other than that, all is good. It was our 2nd year to stay there & was perfect for our 5 couples!! Thanks so much!!! Gary Balch

Paradise on the Lake

This lake house was amazing for large families! The house itself was roomy, clean, well-equipped, and filled with fun activities. We had so much fun relaxing in the water, jet skiing, kayaking and fishing from the dock. This was a perfect family get away. The communication was also great! We will definitely rent this house again. This is a five star property.
