About this property
A secret Hideaway in Great Lake Home with a view
Cedar Creek Lake, Quaint, Quiet & Peaceful lake property. 1/2 acre with oak trees, fire pit, on cul-de-sac in Hidden Harbor, Trinidad, Texas. Close to Grocery store, Dollar Store within Seven Points. 2 Bedroom House, with Hide-a-bed. Two bathrooms. Internet provided by Century Link and 1Gbps Fiber Internet, and Amazon Prime. Excellent for a quiet get-a-away or for some Lake Rest and Relaxation with Family and Friends. Close to Gun Barrel City. 1 hour & 20 Minutes from Dallas. The property is one house from the lake. Access to the lake is via Public Access points, and Public Docks. There is no access to the water from the Property. There are several Marina's, and Public Swimming locations around the Lake. Updated with New Microwave in the kitchen, and a New Industrial Washer and Dryer. Next on the upgrades is to replace the carpet with tile, paint the house, that will happen in 2021, or 2022. It's rural other here, it's a cozy, quiet house, not perfect, but it's home to me and partner when we are there, we love it. Looking to rent a Boat on the lake: https://boatrentusa.com/

About the host
Hosted by Michelle Balderson
My name is Michelle Balderson, My partners name is Faren Iwanicha. We purchased the house in 2019. We live in Canada, and plan for this home to be our part time retirement home when we retire. We love Texas, and the Lake. One day hope to have a boat to enjoy the water.
Why they chose this property
Why would you rent this Property? It's not lake front, yet, it's nice and cozy. A great get away. Lots of positive reviews, some negative. It's not for everyone. Yet, it's a great place if you want quiet, and relaxing time. Our neighbors right next door have a rooster, and chickens, so if you don't like being woken up in the morning with Cock a doodle doo's, then this place isn't for you. They also have dogs, who will bark from time to time. When we are there, we go for walks in the neighborhood, casual. It's fun, there is lots to see. It's nice to look out to the water on those walks. We go into Seven Points, and Gun Barrel. Good places to eat at both. I learned recently that they have opened a Winery near our home, that has live music from time to time. We just love it.
What makes this property unique
We have Take a Bottle, Leave a Bottle display in the Kitchen / Dining area. Just in case you forgot to pick up wine, or spirits, well they are there, just replace what you use.
We are big on smoking meat, there is a meat smoker, and a fireplace that can be used to grill meat outside. It's hot in Texas, so most don't use the fireplace inside, yet it's there. Great Winter use.
We don't have a King sized bed in our home in Canada. There is one there in Texas, and it's new, as we bought it when we bought the house. We put in about 10,000 in upgrades since we purchased the house. We plan on doing more, Painting the outside, replacing the carpets, and fixing some of the Honey do, things that need to be fixed. Like I said, it's not perfect, nothing is, yet it's our kind of comfy. Come, stay, enjoy.
