About this property

Gorgeous and spacious "5 Star" Harbor Lakehouse on Cedar Creek Lake


‘5 Star’ Harbor is a delightfully unique property located on Cedar Creek Lake just a short drive from DFW. You will think you are seeing double when you enter in and realize that this home has twice the amenities. There are 2 fully stocked kitchens, 2 living areas, 2 lake view screened in porches, and 2 laundry areas. And, with 6 bedrooms and 5 full bathrooms, there is room for everyone. The space will comfortably accommodate up to 5 families and is ideal for reunions or other types of small group gatherings.

But, don’t get too comfortable in the house or you will miss out on the beauty and enjoyment of being at the lake. The sunrises are glorious, the fishing is abundant, and the fun on the water is spectacular. With 250 feet of waterfront, the sandy bottom, waist-deep water is the perfect location to play water volleyball, swim, or take a leisurely paddle board ride on the lake (life jackets provided for your safety). For extra fun, bring your own watercraft or rent one at a nearby marina.

Take a break from the sun and relax under a shade tree on our comfortable hammock for two. Bring your own Eno as there are plenty of trees to hang them from and don’t forget to bring that book you’ve been wanting to start.

For the competitive ones in your group, enjoy playing games, cards, corn hole, spike ball, or check out the Star Harbor Golf Club. This 9-hole course plays just under 2400 yards with minimal hazards, wide-open fairways, and basic, medium-sized greens. Work on your game by playing Star Harbor with one club, say a 7 iron, and work on mastering different types of shots with that club.

After grilling dinner (both a gas grill and charcoal grill are available), wind down the evening by sitting around a fire. Roast marshmallows in the firepit, tell stories, sing songs, and breathe in the beauty of God’s creation as you gaze into the night sky.

‘5 Star’ Harbor has something for everyone to enjoy, but don’t take our word for it, book now and come see for yourself!

What a wonderful extended weekend!

This is an annual event for 8 adults..which means we have a lot of different lifestyles to accommodate, but this place marked off almost every single one and then some! Two separate living areas and kitchens made our annual Thanksgiving/Birthday weekend so much easier. We had Hallmark on one TV and football on the other TV. It was extremely clean and comfortable. And there was ample parking for 3 trucks and an SUV. The dock was wonderful for fishing as well. We hope it's available next year!

Amazing as always!

This property is amazing! We are repeat visitors and love everything about it! The house is so well stocked, the beds are comfy and the owners are so easy to work with. The location of the house on the lake is perfect- the cove is great for floating and paddle boarding and close to the main body for skiing and tubing. Recommend this house 100%!

A wonderful family vacation on Cedar Creek Lake

I would give this property 6 stars if I could. Our entire family--8 adults and 6 children--had a wonderful time during our 3-night stay. Alisa, the host/owner was very good. Communicating with her was like talking to an old friend. She was extremely responsive and provided us with some interesting details about the history of the house. There were ample bedrooms and bathrooms for our crowd of 14, and there was plenty of things to do on the property, from the four stand-up paddle boards (SUPs) to cornhole, a closet full of games, as well as fishing and swimming. The house had three refrigerators, so we had plenty of space to keep our food and beverages cold. The screened-in porch looks out on a beautiful view of the lake. That's where many of us relaxed each morning with a cup of coffee, as we listened to the birds chirping. (Coffee, by-the-way, was supplied by the host.) There were actually two houses--one a little larger than the other--connected by a hallway, which provided plenty of "get-away space" for those who wanted some quiet space while others were playing games. The large tree-shaded lawn made a great place for the kids to throw a football or a frisbee. And in the evening, we gathered around the firepit for s'mores. It was a great way to spend quality time with family members. It doesn't get any better than this.

Annual cousin camp was delightful at this airy spacious house right near water. We found 2 excellent stocked kitchens, well supplied bathrooms, lots of comfortable beds without having to double up as in many places. Plenty of room with two living area for games puzzles and visiting. Responsive host and a delightful trip.

New Year Getaway

This is a wonderful property for a multi-family trip. We had 4 generations, 17 people ages 1year to 78. The layout is perfect and you can see everything from the patio. The fact that there are no stairs in this house is wonderful for both small children and older folks. Alisa was an absolutely wonderful host! Would love to go back again!

This is an incredibly spacious Lakehouse with some of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. Our group had an absolutely incredible time, bonded, and reconnected. If you are looking for a place for your friends to gather, or your family to come together, do not hesitate to rent this Lakehouse. it is even better than described!

Perfect place for large families

The house was everything we wanted and more. The view of the water was perfect. Fire pit, dock, 2 screened in porches. The best part was that it felt like two homes. There was a quiet side with a small kitchen and living room, which is perfect for those that need to get a way or children napping. The other side is so conducive to socializing, cooking and being a big family. Plenty of beds for everyone, which is a rare find. We didn't have a bad word to say about the place.

Family Outing

Excellent location within Star Harbor. Easy access from Dallas area. Fantastic setting with huge double lot views to the lake. Great outdoor space for games. Worked wonderfully for our large group of 8 adults and 7 kids under 12. With the two homes connected, kids had their own space to hang out play games from a well-stocked game closet. Large corn hole, spike ball, and other outdoor games were a nice surprise. Plenty of living space plus two large screened in porches. There are a large number of life vest and beach towels were much appreciated when we rented a boat. Large dock with plenty of space to tie up. The two kitchens are extremely well equipment for serving and meal preparation. All our meals were prepared at the house, and we filled the two large refrigerators, yet a 3rd large refrigerator on the porch was great for all the drinks and accessed without going inside. The amount of pantry items available for use was excellent. All switch labels and small signs really shorten the learning curve on home use as did the well-prepared guest manual. The beds were very comfortable and linens very nice. Plenty of soft towels. We could not have asked for a better place for our family.

Perfect for Families

This was our 4th year staying at this property. It works perfectly for us! You essentially get 2 houses for the price of one. I think originally this was 2 separate homes owned by folks in the same family. At some point, they decided to connect the homes with an enclosed hallway. So now what you end up with is 2 master bedrooms, 2 kitchens, 2 covered back porches, 2 dining rooms, etc., etc,. This property easily accomodates 4 adult couples and still has 2 separate/additional rooms with bunks and beds for the kids! Also included are paddle boards, life jackets, games, etc. as well as a place to tie up your boat! We're already looking at dates for our 2024 booking!! Thansk again for a wonderful stay!

All time favorite!

Our recent experience at this beautiful lake house was excellent in every way and more than we expected. We are a group of 10 long time friends who have taken a yearly “getaway” for over a dozen years and have been in a wide variety of places throughout Texas. Your lake house is now our all time favorite! Your communication regarding all of the details is thorough and very helpful. Your house is warm, inviting, and clean providing comfort for all. The two screened in porches, with plenty of comfortable seating, provided a pleasant place to sit and visit while taking in the stunning view of your back yard overlooking the lake. The living and kitchen areas more than accommodated our group. You have everything stocked for anyone's needs, including a game closet filled with a wide variety of choices. While we didn’t use the lake opportunities, we could see you have all the items necessary for fun on the water for all ages. It is located on a very quiet street and parking is ample for multiple vehicles. All of us would use this house again and recommend it without hesitation. Warmest Regards, Retired Teachers and lifelong friends

Awesome house!

We spent three nights at this house with 10 adults and 4 children under the age of 11. We had plenty of space and room to escape the crowd noise if we needed a break! We cooked an early Thanksgiving feast, so the two kitchens were very much needed for ovens and fridge space. I hope we can return!

Home Away from Home!

What a great weekend spent with family at the best lakehouse! Every year my entire family takes a long weekend trip together and this house was perfect for us! There was plenty of room to spread out (there were 14 of us) and the lakehouse had everything we could ever need. The kitchen was well stocked, several towels in each bathroom to last us the entire trip and a closet stocked with games. There are two kitchen areas, two living room areas, two dining tables and two laundry rooms. These definitely came in handy with all of us! I was impressed with how clean the house is kept inbetween guests and the owners are incredibly nice. They are super helpful and are easy to communicate with. They also went out of their way to ensure we were returned a couple of items that we accidentally left behind. We will definitely be staying here again! I am thankful for the great find on VRBO!!

We had 13 women and we were all high school friends from 50+ years ago.

The living/dining rooms were so spacious, and we had room to spread out. Great screened in porches for relaxation. Great kitchen....so many appliances and stuff to help us in our meal prep! Bathrooms were really nice. Everything was especially clean, and the house almost looked newly painted. We couldn't find anything to complain about....and with 13 women, that is nearly impossible;))))
