Great location, large front room, beautiful yard!
We have rented Cedar Creek houses for a number of years for family get-togethers. This was among the best rental properties we have come across. It has a large front room and nice porch area with a great view of the lake. It has a wonderfully large shaded and fenced yard for the kids and the dogs. Great place for a few days on the lake!!

Perfect lake house for a long weekend
This house was perfect for 3 couples from Dallas looking for an escape for the weekend. The house was very tidy and the location on the lake was everything. This property has convinced us we need a lake house in our life ASAP. The dock was great for fishing and the back patio was perfect for hanging out at night. Thanks for a great stay!

About the host

Hosted by April Bell

Host profile image
We were so thrilled to find this beautiful, almost 1-acre home a little over an hour southeast of Dallas. It has brought our family and friends great joy and a place for retreat, rest and restoration. The large back yard, quiet cove and peaceful dock creates year round restoration. We are excited to share it with others on weekends we can't be here!

Why they chose this property

We looked at lots and lots of homes on this lake (and others) before buying. We wanted a quiet cove where kids could jump in and play without us worrying about open water. We love the large backyard and many trees, which offers fun play and plenty of shade! Lastly, the previous owner did an amazing job renovating, including a stone fireplace which we love in the winter and a 200 sq ft covered backyard with fire pit that is used year round.

What makes this property unique

~.75 acre open backyard - FENCE HAS BEEN REMOVED to improve view and foster community in the neighborhood
private, quiet cove with fishing and kids water sports off the dock
beautifully renovated in 2008 and new garage bunkroom in 2022
lots of trees in front and back yard, providing lots of beauty and shade
quiet cul-de-sac with little traffic- perfect for strolls, bike riding
