About this property

Newly listed and remodeled lakefront home on beautiful Cedar Creek Reservoir

MAKE IT UNFORGETTABLE

2,600 square feet of living space. 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, plus 2 living areas. Comfortably sleeps 6 adults plus a bunkbed and pullout sofa. We are located just a short 60 mile drive from Dallas and from Tyler. Eighty miles from Waco.

The breathtaking waterside lake views make this home a perfect place to leave everything behind and take in the lake life. With two porches, a large backyard, and a fishing dock, there are more than enough places for you to relax and enjoy the tranquility of living on a lake.

This spacious 2-story home boasts two full living areas and the kitchen is a home cook's dream. The home is large enough for two families but is intimate enough for just a single family or couple. One of the most amazing and unique features of this home is the huge pecan tree growing through the eaves on the second story. Hence, THE TREEHOUSE ON THE LAKE.

The home is located in a protected cove on the lake and the water is accessible for swimming, floating, kayaking, and fishing in almost all water levels. We have 2 kayaks and several fishing poles for your personal use as well.

If you are interested in spending time out of doors, there are two back porches on this house....one on the second floor and one on the first. On the first floor porch we have two dining areas where you can enjoy a meal or your morning coffee.

It's more than likely you will catch glimpses of blue herons, egrets, and other wading birds in addition to cardinals, blue jays, and hummingbirds. If you are lucky, you may even spy one of the resident bald eagles known to soar in the area.

The backyard is huge and equipped with a fire pit for those after dinner s'mores or to warm yourself on a cool evening. Plus, the stargazing is unreal.

The owners are Stacie and Craig, and this is the only property we manage so we are able to offer family friendly service while responding promptly to any inquiries you may have. We live in the DFW area and understand the need to get away and take a break in a safe, serene setting with family and friends. We consider this home a dream house and would love to share it with you.

Perfect getaway

The house we exactly like the photos which is always what you truly want. We were looking for a peaceful getaway with great views and that is exactly what we got. Stacy was fantastic with communication and her helpfulness. The house had everything we were looking for. A quick tip, Fig's Backyard Grill is perfect for families and is close to the house. The food is good, they have things to occupy kids, and the drinks were reasonably priced. Most importantly the service is friendly and helpful. Their steakhouse which is across the street is a solid place for a date night.

Girlfriend Getaway

I came to this sweet house with four of my lifetime friends! When we had first planned our trip to Canton, we wanted a house that was close by the shopping. I ended up booking this house, not knowing that it was 40 minutes away. But it ended up being perfect for us! Not too far to keep us from going to Canton but far enough away that we felt like we had two vacations in one! Unfortunately, our weather wasn’t great, lots of rain! But we still had a wonderful time talking, laughing doing facials on the comfy couch and having our coffee and then cocktails on the deck! The house was spacious, clean and decorated charmingly! I definitely want to come back to access the lake when there is better weather! Try out The Fig for great food and live music!

We booked the Tool Lake/Tree House VRBO because we were to be attending a wedding in Mabank.

The home is beautiful. We even saw one of the Bald Eagles and loads of ducks and some squirrels. It was extremely peaceful. We truly enjoyed our stay. We would highly recommend it to future travelers.

Perfect Family Get Away

Treehouse on the Lake is a wonderful place for our family. We have made it a tradition to visit relatives in the area to celebrate birthdays and ring in the new year. Since our family lives nearby, we always look for a place to stay in the vicinity, and Treehouse on the Lake was perfect for us. Our family enjoyed having spaces to gather as a whole group and to retreat to individually. The upstairs area was ideal for our daughter, as it provided her with her own living room space that felt almost like a small apartment. The view of the lake was very peaceful, and we are looking forward to returning in the spring with hopes of fishing in the backyard.

Be careful older renters

Property is very nice , very comfortable. Needs temp hotter on water. There is a step down at front door you cannot see in the dark and another one inside at front door you won’t be ready for if not made aware of in advance. Other than that we loved the home , very spacious, beds were good. We would stay again.

We had a weekend away to meet out daughter’s new boyfriend. We had a great time and really enjoyed the property. We were able to sit outside and have a fire which was needed as it was the weekend where it was cold there. The rooms were very nice and the kitchen had everything we needed!
