We had an amazing 5 night stay. The house was clean and well stocked with essentials. The game room was a hit with our kids along with the toy shack. The dock is in great shape. We spent much of our time out there. Can’t say enough good things about this place. Mark and Rhoda were excellent host and made our stay a breeze.

Outstanding In Every Way

This spectacular home was better than any online description/photos. Walking in, the space was spotless with incredible views immediately. Decor created such a great ambience and we were in love immediately. The owners put so much thought into this home…they didn’t miss a thing and even provided more than we ever expected. The home was spacious with great outdoor space as well. Homeowner’s were so responsive, which was really appreciated. We had the best time and can’t wait to return.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Perkins

Host profile image
We have always dreamed of having a family lake house and after searching many lakes in Texas we found this gem and have simply fallen in love with Pecan Point at Cedar Creek Lake. The sunsets we have consistently experienced are simply glorious and have been breathtaking in Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.

Why they chose this property

Pecan Point truly is our home away from the hustle and bustle of city life. With its 160' of unobstructed water front sunset views we simply relax as we enter the house and look out the panoramic view to the lake. Our homes open concept is a perfect place for our family and friends to gather. We can simply sit and gaze out the window for hours enjoying the view of the birds and wild life. It is our happy place and we hope that it becomes that to all who enter it's doors.

What makes this property unique

Location location location! Were on a beautiful quiet point with shade trees to enjoy the water and the nature around the property. Pecan Point is less than 1 hour from Dallas and only 5 minutes form restaurants and shopping.
