About this property

-Open water-Fire Pit-Stunning Sunsets-Lake access even in low levels

This lake vacation was meant to be enjoyed around the beautiful fire pit and huge plush yard. Huge covered porch with ceiling fans is an enjoyable way to spend a relaxing morning drinking coffee watching the birds on the lake. The plush grass yard is the perfect area to grill or experience the beautiful lake view. The swimming area next to the dock has a rare sandy bottom that is ideal for playing in the lake. Large trees surrounding the property provide cool shade for the grassy St Augustine lawn. In the evenings relax around the fire pit that is ideal for roasting marshmallows. If that wasn't enough, the property also has a boat house with a swim deck for fishing and sun bathing on the lake. Bring your boat and conveniently use the boat house to keep your boat safe when not in use. (Check lake levels) The neighborhood also has a convenient private boat ramp (check lake levels), a short walk away from the property.

Custom Built Home, located in Indian Harbor, this Paradise is perfect for a relaxing getaway. You will love the Panoramic views of the Open water. All bedrooms have a lake view and the loft view is amazing. The front porch is inviting and covered with a nest hello door bell.

A large covered deck with ceiling fans, surround sound speakers, and seating for 12 provides a comfortable space for dining, grilling, relaxing, and watching the sun set.

This vacation home is fully furnished and can accommodate 12 people (8 adults, 4 kids) comfortably. There are 3 bedrooms, a loft, 2.5 bathrooms and a laundry room. The large kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, including all necessities for cooking. The master bedroom, which opens to the deck, has a king size bed, the second and third bedrooms have queen size beds. The futon makes into a small full size bed, there are two twin mattresses on a trundle bed and a twin bed in the loft. A queen size air mattress can be put out for larger groups. Enjoy the wood burning fireplace on cool nights as you look out the expansive walls of glass onto the lake from the living room.

An easy hour's drive from downtown Dallas and just south of Gun Barrel City, the house is conveniently located close to shopping and restaurants. Canton's First Monday Trade Days (Held on the weekend prior to the first Monday of every month) is only a 30 minute drive and filled with fantastic flea market finds. Plenty to do nearby and a lake view that never gets old... Come experience paradise at Cedar Creek Lake. It's hard to go home!

The kitchen we found the second day when we went to do breakfast that the countertops were not clean even some of the dishes were dirty and I don’t see how it can be listed as wheelchair accessible when it does not have a ramp to get in the house and the bathrooms don’t have grab bars and the shower is not accessible neither other than those few things the place was very nice

Had an amazing weekend with the family. The home itself was clean and very well kept. Spent most of our time in the backyard and on the lake. Did some swimming, fishing and rode our jetskis. Roasted marshmallows in the fire pit and barbecued. Highly recommend and would definitely return.

The property owner was very responsive, professional and polite. He was very accommodating, offering additional parking if needed. We rented the property for my dad memorial and the house and land was perfect for all age ranges, 3-90 years old. The covered back porch was even perfect for my 90 year old grandmother who is in a wheelchair to sit and enjoy the view and visit family. We will be renting this property Everytime we come back to Texas. Wonderful experience all the way around.
