Perfect Lake Retreat - Escape to Relaxation and Fun Lake Living

Lake front living at its finest! Tired of this virus craziness? Escape the city and relax lakeside for a while!

The description below summarizes the many home features, but make sure to view the short marketing video highlighting this incredible lake home getaway!

Enjoy indoor decor straight out of a designer magazine with all the amenities you want and more! You will be hard pressed to find another home on the lake as nice with this much appeal.

Located on open water, enjoy the south facing lot, a fenced-in and protected backyard for children with a constant great lake breeze. Enjoy the back patio spanning the width of the home with three separate entrances, three different sitting areas, outdoor grill, outdoor fireplace, and plenty of space to lounge. If you want to relax closer to the water, enjoy the bulk head fire pit or relaxing chairs on the boat dock.

Home owner provides a pack n play for little ones, if needed. Home includes a 3 and 1/2 car garage as well as two driveways large enough for 8+ cars.

Relaxing time at the lake

Our family enjoyed the stay at this lake house. It was relaxing sitting on the back porch. Appreciated the patio heaters on the cool nights. Kids really enjoyed playing cornhole.

Perfect Family Gathering

Just returned from our annual 4 day family new years gathering. There were 7 adults and 4 kids ranging from one year to nine years old. Everyone had plenty of space to spread out and relax. The home is lovely with a back porch and yard that was perfect for us. We spent all days and evenings around the fire pit enjoying the view. The kitchen is so well equipped - every detail well thought out. The beds were the most comfortable ever, and the communication with Travis the owner was immediate and a pleasure. We all would give this property a 10 star review if possible. Hope to return again during the summer - may be the best home we’ve ever rented!

Better than advertised

Our group of 6 adults and 8 kids (ages 3-14) stayed for four nights, and we couldn't be happier. The outdoor space was gorgeous, comfortable, and peaceful. The master shower is incredible! The kitchen had every pan and tool we needed. Bring all your own food, including condiments. Would absolutely stay here again.

Why they chose this property

While there are many lake homes around Cedar Creek, there are few that are brand new with these amenities, location, constant southern breeze, charm, sleeping capacity, and room for parking. Very few homes provide fishing, zip lining, corn hole, fire pit and possible beaching while also providing a massive outdoor patio with multiple living spaces.
