What a view!

We love swimming, skiing, paddle boarding and relaxing at the lake. This property has a lovely view of the water and it is a short walk to the dock from the lake house. The pool table and darts were fun at night too.

Great place for a family vacation

John's house was perfect for our lake trip. The location was great (less crowded part of the lake) and his Man Cave gave us plenty to do once the sun went down. We rented jet skis nearby and floated in shallow area by the dock.

Excellent Property!

We enjoyed our stay very much! The owner was very nice and easy to reach. The house was wonderful, we had plenty to do with the game room and outdoor area. The dock was very nice with three ways to enter the water…which is a huge deal for us! The lake was low so we were able to touch past the end of the dock, it was a very clean area with very little rock or debris. We absolutely loved it and will book again!!

College Reunion

Great place and great location. Host was super friendly and attentive. Our only issues were the boat didn't run well and the AC was set to not go below 73. Was a little hot in the bedrooms sleeping. Other than that it was a great stay. Would recommend to friends

Get Away

Awesome stay at a great place. Exactly as described. Plenty to do to keep everyone busy regardless of weather or lake level. Quality time on the back porch or a quick nap in the hammock chairs make for a great afternoon. Great view to the open water from the backyard and the 2 recliners in the living room. Definately on the top of the list for every visit to Cedar Creek. Also, Milanos Pizza is really good!

Great family time at the lake

Really enjoyed our stay in John's nice lakefront house. Lots of fun outsides - firepit, grilling, relaxing on the patio. The lake was steps away from the house and easy to float/hang-out in. Floating pad was a great way to cluster people. House was comfortable and accomodated our group of 9. Really liked the dining take - we could easily get 8 around it but feel close together. John was very responsive and helpful...

Relaxing on the water

We had such a great time at this place. The view was great and the sound of the waves on the water just give you sense of calm. The kids loved the rubber dockie and we even made it out on the pontoon. At peak sun time we came in out of the sun and enjoyed playing in the game room before heading back out into the water. Such a fun mini vacation! Even the beds and pillows were comfortable. John was such a great host. Communication with him was so easy. We will definitely be back!

Guys weekend!

Great communication with owner - and he was available any time to answer questions. I did give him a hard time that he needed to update listing as we were supposed to find he had added WiFi! Awesome property with plenty of space and sleeping areas for a guys weekend. Made great use of the charcoal pit for grilling steaks, the pool table, swimming mat, and kitchen table that doubled as a great poker table each night!

About the host

Hosted by John Austin

Host profile image
My family and I live in Dallas and we love Cedar Creek Lake! We have hosted many events at our Lake House, with many people asking if they can rent because of the fun they've had during their visit. We are excited to share our property with you! If you decided to rent my boat, I will personally come out on your arrival and show you around the property to make sure you have the best experience possible.

Why they chose this property

There is nowhere better than being on the lake and enjoying family, the lake activities and fun with friends! Living on the water gives an incredible sense of peace, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Sunsets on the lake are a favorite past-time for all of us to sit on the deck and enjoy the incredible view.

What makes this property unique

With easy access to the lake, shadowed by the trees, facing south with a great breeze coming off the water - it keeps us cool no matter how hot it is outside and reduces the amount of bugs! Nothing could be better than knowing that we don't have to travel too far to escape to our little piece of heaven, as it is less than 1 1/2 hours from Dallas! Cedar Creek Lake is an amazing lake with so many areas to explore! Fireworks over the 4th of July can be seen from all over the lake! You don't even have to leave the back porch! Come check us out!
