Short getaway

The house was great. View was amazing. My only concern was the walkway to the boathouse being caved in. I would be worried someone is going to get hurt

About the host

Hosted by James Miller

Host profile image
Hey! I'm Mike. My friend James and I are hosting our lake house on Cedar Creek lake. We love the place and fell in love with the fun of the lake and the area years ago on our own Airbnb trip down there.

I like to travel in a way that I can spend as much time seeing the area and local spots as I can, rather than relaxing at my lodging.

Huge Tex-Mex fan and always looking for the best BBQ joints in Texas.

Why they chose this property

Our neighborhood is a quiet suburb south of Gun Barrel City and Downtown Mabank. We're off the beaten path in a nice subdivision of site-built homes. We have old and young alike, but everyone is welcoming! You won't be a stranger in our neck of the woods!
