The house was amazing. The view was also amazing. Matt was very good to work with. If we do another family vacation on Cedar Creek Lake, we will select this home again. The location was perfect for boating and seeing fireworks around the whole lake.

Summer Lake Weekend

We loved our stay at Matthew's house. The house is very well appointed and had everything we needed for a wonderful 3 day weekend. Everyone had plenty of space and rooms were comfortable. Everything was clean and we had plenty of linens and supplies. King size beds in all main bedrooms is HUGE. The kids loved the bunk room and we put all the girls in the room with 2 queens. The upstairs bathroom shared by Bedroom 4 and 5 is not a Jack and Jill (like I assumed). It's out in the main hallway, which is fine, just something to consider when assigning rooms. The big open water was great and deep in front of the house and the lawn and patio were great. We would definitely book again.

Amazing family get together

If you can book this house, I would highly recommend it. Our host was very responsive to questions before the booking, had clear instructions written out that were simple to follow, and was very welcoming to us as their first renters. The open space for the living/dining/kitchen area was fantastic for our family group of 16. It never felt crowded. The house was immaculate and lovely. We went on a day trip to Athens and visited the botanical gardens there. We had hoped to eat at the Athens Brewery, but we got there too late in the afternoon. Bought some growlers to go instead and enjoyed those later in the evening on the back porch while enjoying a cool breeze off of the lake. Most of us were able to go kayaking, paddle boarding and swimming in the lake. The back covered porch was perfect for relaxing and watching the grandchildren play. The back porch had solar lights mounted under the steps which made it easy to navigate at twilight. The insides halls had built in night lights under the electrical outlets so you could see where you were going with out turning on the overhead lights. This house was a fabulous place to watch the total eclipse! So thankful the weather cooperated. Our hosts even left us solar eclipse glasses. WOW! We felt very cared for. We stayed in early April, so mosquitoes were not a big deal. Saw some scissortails, cormorants, and many other birds. It was a peaceful get away that allowed us to make wonderful family memories together. Thank you!!!!
