Ready to relax and unwind?!?! There is nothing like lake sleeping after a beautiful sunset across the water!

The home is thoroughly cleaned after each guest, 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.
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 bunkbeds.

About the host
Hosted by Laura Broadhead-Kipp
We have been homeowners on Cedar Creek Lake for over 18 years. This lake 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 Amazing View! We have been all around this lake for many years and our cove within a cove delivers the best view without calmer waters. The fishing is great & safe for swimming!
