Modern Cottage on Private Peninsula w/pool, pickleball, kayaks, fishing & more

Welcome to The Bluebird Cottage at Sunrise Point

Escape to the serene beauty of Cedar Creek Lake in the Bluebird Cottage, where modern design meets nature's tranquility. Whether you're here to unwind, get active, or simply enjoy some epic lake views, this 450 sq. ft. cottage has it all-including access to some seriously cool amenities like the pickleball court, pool, and hot tub.

The Space
Step into a world of intentional design! From the moment you pass through the oversized front door, you're greeted by stunning views of Cedar Creek Lake through floor-to-ceiling windows. The motorized shades are there for when you want privacy, but let's be real-you'll want to keep those views front and center.

The cottage's natural limestone exterior and vibrant color-coded trellis reflect the grace of its namesake, the cardinal. Soak up the sunset, or catch an early morning breeze-this cottage is your cozy retreat, no matter the time of day.

Modern Kitchenette
Small but mighty, the galley-style kitchenette offers everything you need with custom wood cabinetry, glass tiles, and a sleek quartz countertop. Whether you're chilling drinks in the Sub-Zero mini-fridge, making a quick snack in the microwave, or brewing your morning coffee with the Keurig, you'll feel right at home.

Living Space
Rest easy on the queen-sized adjustable bed, complete with custom linens so comfy you'll want to sleep in every morning. If you need extra storage, the floor-to-ceiling cabinetry has you covered. And the best part? The motorized shades offer uninterrupted lake views right from bed. Oh, and did we mention the bed has a vibration feature? Yeah, you're not going to want to leave.

Chill Zone (Sitting Area)
Need a little "you" time? The custom swivel chairs are perfect for lounging as you take in the cottage's art collection (gathered over 30 years). Whether you're watching the sunrise or diving into a good book, this sitting area is designed for max relaxation.

Modern Bathroom
The bathroom is your personal spa with a marble-tiled shower, quartz vanity, and a large oversized mirror-perfect for those post-lake freshen-ups. Let the natural light pour in while you wrap yourself in plush Turkish towels.

Private Patio
Step out onto your private patio and be greeted by panoramic lake views. Enjoy dinner cooked on your Weber gas grill, or cozy up by your very own personal fire feature. Whether it's morning coffee or evening stargazing, this spot has all the good vibes.

Perks & Amenities
Beyond the comfort of your cottage, Sunrise Point is loaded with fun and relaxation. Take a dip in the pool or unwind in the hot tub. Challenge your partner to a friendly match on the pickleball court, or lounge lakeside while watching the sunset.

Other shared amenities include:

Lakeside gas fire pit with seating for 8
Horseshoe pit and putting green for a little friendly competition
Disc golf, paddleboards, and kayaks for some fun on the water
Two hammocks for ultimate relaxation
Outdoor dining under the lighted oaks, perfect for group meals
Guest Access
Feel free to explore the entire three-acre peninsula-it's all yours to enjoy. You might even spot some local wildlife like deer, foxes, or bald eagles!

Not ideal but made the best of the stay

We were called to make payment even though we had already paid on Vrbo. But, didn’t put much concern that Casey had confused us. It happens.We were excited to arrive but were alarmed by the neighborhood preceeding these cottages. Stark contrast to the pics online and it was just surprising.But again, we were happy to arrive. We didn’t realize the cottages were so close together which provided less privacy. We looked forward to using the hot tub not realizing it was the Owner’s hot tub in their back yard! Plus you’d have to walk down the street. Just awkward and not what you imagine when you see the pics online.Bed is nice with auto settings.Bathroom is nice.Kitchenette is nice but their were cobwebs and a spider that had commandeered the coffee maker. lol But we made a truce and let us use the coffeemaker.View is nice but your adjacent to other people with very little privacy. By 8 pm we realized the back sliding door would not lock and was broken. I went to the check in QR code and we reached out to Casey for help. We did not hear back from anyone until 6pm the following day.We makeshifted a way to lock the door while we slept and when we left to go enjoy the day we tried to leave a pole from our car in the track to protect our personal property in the cottage. So I had to reach out for hours on their different social media’s to try and reach their office. This really disappointed us and detracted from our vacation day.Casey did refund us for 1 night. Thank you

Amazing hospitality and spectacular views!!!

This property is simply AMAZING. I highly recommend you make the drive for these lake front cottages. No detail is overlooked and there is so much to do from grilling, to pickleball, horseshoes, miniature golf, or fishing or just relaxing and watching the lake. Do not hesitate to book one of these cottages. The property is also available for weddings. Reach out to Ann or Sue for more information, you won’t regret it. Sunrise Point at Cedar Creek is where memories are made.

Perfect Property for Peace!

Communication was superb, the location and amenities were out of this world and I can’t say enough good things about the hospitality. This is a pristine property nestled on a peninsula which sweeping views of Cedar Creek Lake. The wildlife only add to the experience of staying in this modern cottage, that has EV charging capabilities to boot. Don’t sleep on Sunrise Point, it’s the hidden jewel of Texas.

We travel extensively and have stayed at some of the most beautiful resorts. This by far is my favorite "boutique" if I can call it that. Four modern bungalows, done in a modern, comfortable, romantic, inviting...perfectly appointed. Our hosts, the owners, are incredible...so kind and hospitable, made us feel like we were family. Very private, with only four bungalows we enjoyed all the peaceful beautiful surroundings. We will be back!!!

Amazing property!

I surprised my wife for our anniversary and she loved it! It is cozy, peaceful, and absolutely beautiful. We played golf for the first time ever nearby, my wife caught some fish off of the boat house, and we kayaked until our arms were numb. The pool has a breathtaking view and the hosts were very gracious. Ann can make a mean margarita too, which we enjoyed poolside. Sue talked with my wife like they were best friends. This place is amazing! We highly recommend it for a getaway to remember.
