We had a last minute booking, as I had made a mistake with my dates on another booking I had made in which they could not accommodate us. I reached out to the owner and she immediately got us in! It was such a wonderful stay and the house was nice and clean.

Family Mini weekend Trip !!

My Family and I had so much fun this weekend! The home was nice and had all the essentials we needed for bathroom/ kitchen. We were an able to enjoy the kayaks and paddle boat, loved that the dock had stairs to make it easy to get in and out of kayaks. We made memories around the fire pit and the whole family loved hanging out on the patio playing with the foose ball table and darts!

The perfect family getaway!

My family and I had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful home nestled in the trees in a quiet cove on Cedar Creek Lake. The home was clean, comfy and had a beautiful screened in porch with a foos ball table (we had some lively competitions!) games, darts, and seating looking out at the lake. Also one of our favorite things was using the kayaks - there were plenty for our whole family and we loved getting out and experiencing the lake at sunset in the kayaks. We also had big family dinners around the large table followed by lots of board games. We were able to use the neighborhood boat dock to launch our boat as the lake is down a bit. It worked great for us! Also Morgan was extremely responsive to our questions. Highly recommend this home for a family or couples who want to really feel as if they "got away from it all" for a few days! We will definitely be back!

Great stay

We needed additional sleeping for a large family gathering nearby. This house was perfect. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. Management was extremely responsive and flexible when we thought we might have to bring a pet. The only observation for future guests…the only bathroom downstairs is located in the primary bedroom so it is not easily accessible for all guests. Check water levels if planning to bring a boat. Great stay!

Family Weekend Getaway

Greak location and really nice lake just hour or so outside of DFW. Lots of amenities and games. Porch is a bonus but super hot middle of the day in June (it's covered but outside). Outside sitting area is nice. Grill worked great. The big downside is water level is down and there was no way to fish or swim off dock. It was quite gross in the cove. Lots trash and yuck in the muddy cove. The property next door looked abandoned and their dock was a mess. But a short paddle out in 1 of the 8 kayak's and your out in the middle of the large cove to kayak and fish. Without the kayaks it would have been a 1-2 star rating. Kitchen and living area could use some updating but looked to have new flooring everywhere else and was very clean. It's a lake house.. not a luxury vrbo. Management was great and kept in communication before and during our stay. Will contact her again for other properties they might manage. Burger-n-Bean restaurant in in Athens (10 min drive) was excellent for a local diner/restaurants - Catfish was best we've had about anywhere.

Disappointed

The setting near Cedar Creek is nicely treed and quiet. The home itself is dated and was disappointing. From pet stains on several carpets to a scarcity of towels, we had hoped for a seamless experience. There were remnants of previous residents that called into question the overall maintenance. We left one day early.

Can I Just Say Relaxing

The property is AMAZING! I was able to kayak and read my book. My husband fished, we all caught something. We played games, like for real we totally disconnected. I love that the rooms upstairs didn't have a television; which caused my teenagers to actually sleep at night. It was so pleasant to have real conversations and spacious enough to get away from conversations, lol! The kitchen had all necessary essentials. We will definitely be coming back. The property manager was totally on point with communication. Thank you!!

Great Stay, a little under stocked

Property was perfect for a fishing trip for 6 men. Great for relaxing, watching football (if you can airplay from your phone), and comfortable sleeping. The screened porch was great for late September weather. The kitchen lacked some cookware that could be handy and no dish brush or dish soap made it difficult to clean up. Regardless, the guys would book this place again.

Cedar Creek lake getaway

Had so much fun staying at this awesome property! We all enjoyed all this cute home has to offer! The screened in porch was PERFECT for relaxing while watching Saturday football, playing games & socializing. Backyard was great for hanging out by the firepit, cooking s’mores, watching sunrise & sunsets! Dock was set up nicely so boys were constantly fishing! Kayaks were used by all of us & so fun! Water is shallow right by dock but gets deeper quickly so you can play in water there. Oh, and did I mention house was so clean & nicely laid out. Owner thought of many extras like waterproof cases for you to put phone in while kayaking so you can take pictures while out, games galore inside & in the shed with kayaks! Great house & great fun! Thanks for sharing your home with us!

AMAZING rental. Ideal location on lake, yet secluded enough for quiet nights & mornings.

We LOVED staying here! The house was cozy, inviting, and so convenient. The house was so accommodating for our one year old daughter, she flipped out over the table, firehouse, and Barbie house they provided! The house also had canoes and TONS of games in the shed! Spikeball, cornhole, badminton, etc. Such a fun addition! It’s right in the middle of the lake, so we took our boat to the left side of the lake on the first day and to the left the second day. While we had tons of fun out on the lake, it was so nice to come back to the quiet cove where the house was located . The cove was so quiet in the morning, you can hear a fly land! So rejuvenating for our hyper family 🤪 Thank you guys for everything!
