About this property

Shoreline Escape - Waterfront Relaxation

Enjoy the comforts of our lake house! Perfect for couples, a family or two, or small groups.

Our location is perfect for what Cedar Creek has to offer. Whether you like to spend your days on the boat, relaxing and reading a book by the lake, swimming, fishing, kayaking, or visiting Canton Trade Days, this house offers it all!

Play: Bring your own boat, launch at one of the convenient local ramps, and dock at the house for the duration of your stay. We provide premium mooring whips to keep your boat safe and securely attached to (but not up against) the dock. Our driveway is long enough to park with your trailer attached. No boat? No worries! We have a kayak you can use, and you can fish and swim off the dock. There is a large back yard to throw a ball around, have a picnic, and grill.

Eat: We have a fully furnished kitchen and a grill outside with plenty of places inside (4 at the bar, 6 at the table, 3 at the bar table) and outside (4 at the table, 4 patio chairs) to eat. The pantry has some of the basics. We have a 'take some, leave some' policy, so check with us before you buy oil, salt/pepper, etc.

Evening: After enjoying a day in the sun, you can relax inside with board games and a brand new 60" smart TV with internet access for Netflix, Hulu and Prime Video. Or just sit on the patio and enjoy an amazing sunset! There's also a large heater on the deck for you to sit under on those unexpected cooler Texas nights.

Sleep: You can comfortably sleep up to 6 people at our lake house. We have one bedroom with a queen bed and another with a king and bunk beds. If needed, the couch in the living room is very deep and comfortable, perfect for napping. The mattresses and sheets are super comfortable, perfect for snuggling up at night after a day of fun on the lake!

Location is Fantastic

Great location. Updated boat dock provides easy access to/from the lake with a public boat ramp just across the bridge. House has been mostly remodeled with some nice updates. As described, it does get warm in the living area and guest bedroom due to the large windows that allow for the beautiful view of the lake. Would definitely stay here again.

House is great, host communicated very well with us. Maybe I’m just to picky but house had lots of spider webs, oven was dirty frig was ok. BUT everything else was great in the house. The dog two doors down is extremely annoying but that can’t be help. We had fun. Definitely will do it again.

Great 4th of July house

This house was very spacious and clean. Comfy beds and good location on the water. Very nice neighbors and it was a great spot to watch numerous fireworks around the lake! Things to be aware of: The hall bathroom also houses the washer and dryer so it is very narrow. The den has a wall of windows without coverings and gets full afternoon sun. It makes it hot in the den/kitchen. The AC works great so you can retreat to other rooms if needed. Looks like they recently lost a tree in the back so perhaps there was once shade. The house appears to be in mid renovation with new floors, freshly painted walls but cabinets and bathrooms are not updated. Kitchen was well stocked, only missed sheet trays.

Great Weekend Escape!

This was just the perfect place for us, our daughter/SIL and son/DIL! The house was super clean. We enjoyed fishing off the dock, swimming and kayaking. The sunsets were breathtaking! The owners were very quick to respond to any questions we had before and upon arrival. We will definitely keep this on our “To Stay Again” list!

Awesome!

My family and I absolutely loved our stay here! The crazy weather took a turn and dropped 30 degrees on our day of check-in, but being October that’s expected here in Texas. That did not stop us from having a blast. This house is so elegant but also great for kids. We really enjoyed playing in the large yard together as a family and also the board games indoors! They have everything you need plus extras, especially in the kitchen. The linens were so comfy with plenty to go around! At night time my husband and I made use of the very cool heater on the back porch which allowed us to spend time together with the amazing, relaxing view of the lake. The owners are very nice and communicate well with anything you may need and made check-in on a rainy day so simple. Thank you so much Ryan and Pearl for allowing us to enjoy your property for the weekend! We are looking forward to many more stays here in the future! JanLee B.

Beautiful home on Cedar Creek Lake

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this home for a week! The house is beautiful and clean. It was so nice to see they had toilet paper, trash bags and paper towels stocked already. I can't tell you how many properties I have supplied that for! The beds are all comfy; hotel quality duvets, blankets and pillows. Every morning I sat out on the patio and had my coffee and watched the birds and rabbits. Such an array of birds! We met a few of the neighbors and they were all so nice. They offered the use of their docks and ladder since the dock wasn't repaired at this house. That was the only the downside but we knew when renting because of Ryan's excellent communication beforehand, that the dock wouldn't be functioning. The house was perfection...wonderful layout, plenty of room, big kitchen that was well stocked with all that we needed to cook. Another plus... they provided PLENTY of plush bath towels. The kayak was a great addition to our fun and they even provided the lifejackets. We shopped in Mabank at the Brookshires because the Walmart nearby leaves little to be desired. We really enjoyed our time!

Best Vacation Ever

Ryan and Pearl were awesome hosts. The property itself is above and beyond what you see online. Great views, excellent fishing, swimming, and the kayak on site just adds to the fun. Would definitely recommend this property and owners to anyone. 5 Star—all the way.

For the most part the house had all we needed.

We had a good time with our kids and our friends. We loved the kitchen. It was fully equipped with all we needed and we were even impressed with the quality of kitchen-ware. The beds were very comfortable however the bed in th second bedroom didn’t have a top sheet, only a fitted sheet, probably just oversite. We would have loved to fish off of the dock but it was badly damaged, however the friendly neighbor let us fish off of his. The house was very clean and we enjoyed the open floor plan and all the seating available.

As pretty as the pictures

Two couples on a 4 day weekend. Great house. Updated. Very clean and well appointed. We cooked in kitchen or BBQ for every meal. Mattressex EXTEREMLY comfortable. High quality furniture. Beware... only two bedrooms. Worked fine for us though. Extra bunk beds in master and pull out in 2nd living area. You could fit a ton of kids in that room on air mattresses, then close the barn door !

My 89-year-old mother had such an easy time with the open floor plan and uncluttered home! She was able to enjoy the fantastic sunset views without leaving her easy chair! Our family had a wonderful get together with good meals and fun times kayaking and fishing! The owners were very helpful and made sure our stay was perfect. All the amenities were well thought out and of excellent quality! Luxury living and comfort! Thanks for a great place for my family to gather! We will book again for our next family event!

Clean, open space, great views of lake!

My family of 5 and brother and sister in law with their daughter all came and there was plenty of space! We loved the big open windows and utensils for the kitchen! House was clean and updated! We played all day on the boat and fished each night off the dock in the back. The owners responded to all questions sent in a Timely manner. The only complaint we had was we wanted to use the boat slip with lift, but neighbors boat was using it, so we had to be on the outside of dock. Didn't feel safe leaving it all night so had to unload and load each day. Aside from that we had a great time and would definitely use this home again!
