About this property

Enjoy the Best Sunsets on the Lake! Large cove with views across the lake!

Time to slow things down a bit and have a change in scenery? Why not catch the birds as they pass over the water, just as the sun sets and the sky turns from blue to amber, before the stars begin to shine.

Come stay at our home - recently updated with new flooring throughout, updated 2nd bath and brand new sleeper/sectional in main living room. The home is thoroughly cleaned after each guests stay. Perfect for a family get away or a group of friends looking for a weekend adventure. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath lakeside retreat is the place to make those memories happen. Wake up and enjoy your morning coffee on the fully furnished covered porch, while watching a flock of Ducks pass by. Later as evening arrives, take in the breathtaking sunset views on the open water. Lots of room for all to gather around the over-sized stone fire pit. Roast marshmallows, make s'mores and reminisce about the days fun filled events. A portable Bluetooth speaker is available for inside or on the covered elevated porch.

While inside this cozy retreat, gather in the kitchen while preparing dinner, looking out over the lake. With 3 fully furnished bedrooms, a pullout couch and additional bunk-beds, the home can comfortably sleep 6 -8 adults and/or 4 children. The open concept provides two living rooms that can be enjoyed by all or to provide the adults space to stretch out on the comfortable lounge furniture while the kids take over the game room. Board games and a giant Jenga game are provided for all to play. The home is equipped with 3 TV's with Roku's, so you have access to all of your favorite Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc., web based entertainment. WIFI is provided, allowing you to stay connected, however we do recommend 'unplugging' while at the lake.

The retreat is located within Indian Harbor on an over sized lot that offers a landscaped and enclosed side yard. Take advantage of the lake, bring your fishing gear and try your luck. Go swimming or just float in the expansive protected cove with beautiful lake views. There is easy access to 2 private boat ramps, visible from the home, so bring your boat and jet skis to enjoy. The home does have a covered boat house with a lift and a single jet ski lift. Please be sure to let us know if you would like to use them for your water craft.

Easy to get to, just an hour’s drive from downtown Dallas. This retreat is conveniently located close to shopping and restaurants in Gun Barrel City or Athens. Explore the largest flea market in the U.S. with a trip to Canton’s First Monday Trade Days (held on the weekend adjacent to the first Monday of each month), only 30-minute away! IF you like to get out and explore, a book of suggestions is provided along with tips for enjoying your stay.

We welcome you to come and enjoy Lake Life...Relax, Unplug, & Unwind.

Pleasant Stay

We enjoyed the short stay at this nice location. The house was clean and nicely decorated and regardless of the lower water level of the lake the kids loved it. It made the entry into the water easier for them

Great weekend retreat

This was a great place for a relaxing weekend retreat. The neighborhood is sketchy until you get to the property, which was nice. The house was very clean and had everything you needed to have a relaxing weekend with the worry of forgetting stuff such as plates, utensils, etc. the check in process was very easy and they host/owners responded quickly. Even though the bowl dock was partially closed for storm damage repair , we were able to use it without issues. Would definitely stay here again.

Comfy cabin

As advertised and a great location. The back porch was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the lake views. Having the lift available for our boat was a bonus when the winds picked up a few times during our stay. Highly recommend.

Relaxing Weekend

Laura was very friendly and helpful. The house was clean, beds were comfortable and had plenty of towels. The kitchen had what we needed to cook a meal, a regular coffee pot and a Keurig. We had a great time using the paddle board and just relaxing on the back porch. We liked that it had a fenced area for the dog.

Wonderful, large waterfront property!

Loved this property! Wonderful large size that sleeps quite a bit of people! Right next to the water and it was complete with a very large deck as well as a grill and a paddle boat! The inside was separated which allows teens to get away from the adults and vis versa. Located in a really nice tree area and a great oat slip for fishing and swimming. The property manager was amazing and very helpful along the way and always available. Couldn't be happier and will book this location many, many times un the future. Such a wonderful stay!

Needs update: Carpet needs to be cleaned, unlevel floors, bedroom doors need to be held by a block, boat dock needs boards replaced and spider webs knocked down. The backyard view is amazing for sunsets! Clean bathrooms and kitchen! Great host! Jessie and Laura were awesome!

Good Stay Overall

The neighborhood was a little scary but once at the property all seemed ok. Jessi, the property manager was wonderful. The place was very clean and nicely decorated. Ample sleeping and living areas. The only reason not giving a perfect rating is the Adirondack chairs were mostly broken and unusable. Glad we brought our own. The outdoor speaker was also not working. But everything was really nice and overall had a fun family weekend with friends

Nice access to the lake. Nice living areas. The table in the main living area is a little too big to be able to easily access the sectional seating area.Fan on back porch appears to have a burned up motor. Would have been nice if it worked, especially to sit on the porch in evening.This was our second stay at this location.

Beautiful house and location

We loved the house and location on the lake. Sunsets were amazing and there’s plenty of room to swim and play in the water. The whole family had a blast and we’re already looking forward to a return. Best place we’ve rented at Cedar Creek!

We have been homeowners on Cedar Creek Lake for over 13 years. This is our Oasis, our happy place to unwind and relax. We hope that you will take in a sunset or many and enjoy your time here too!

What makes this property unique

The VIEW! We have been all around this lake for many years and our cove within a cove delivers the best view without being by any rough waters. There is great lake activity in our outer cove and views to the other side of the lake!
