About this property

Lakehouse Retreat With Open Water & Amazing Views - Sleeps 12

Come and relax at our charming lakehouse nestled on Cedar Creek Lake that offers amazing views. This lakehouse boasts a spacious 1000+ wrap-around porch and a large shaded yard that is great for relaxing and enjoying a game of cornhole, fishing off the wall, watching people swim or reading your favorite book.

Over 140' of waterfront access is included with a dock available to tie up your PWC or boat.

Enjoy the property by settling in on the back deck and watching our beautiful Texas sunsets, grill out using the propane grill then enjoy relaxing under the stars perched around the fire pit, making smores and creating wonderful memories with your loved ones.

The property has plenty of space for parking 12+ vehicles along with your boat or jet ski trailer.

55" LED Smart TV (Netflix, etc.) and a DVD player are located in the great room along with a variety of cards, games and puzzles for everyone to enjoy. Each of the 3 bedrooms offers a 55" smart TV - which is a must have when traveling with kids. We offer a wide variety of life jackets and a large comfy hammock to relax in. Also, a Pack n' Play and high chair are available upon request.

Just a quick 30 minute drive to the First Monday Trade Days in Canton and the perfect place to unwind after some fantastic shopping!

Beautiful, relaxing getaway!

Great three couple getaway close to Dallas. Three queen bed/bath suites and a well appointed kitchen. Our second stay was as good as we remembered! It feels like we’re far away from the big city, but only a short drive. Relaxing on the deck, listening to music overlooking the lake or playing board games was wonderful! Can’t wait for our fall retreat!

Lake House Retreat

This property met our needs perfectly and was a comfortable place to stay. The property owners were accommodating for all of our needs. The property is one of the cleanest rentals I have ever stayed in. We would definitely recommend people staying here and if I’m ever in the area again I will be sure to rent this property again.

Great Stay and Home!

The home was even better in person than we expected. Communication was excellent with the owner. The view of the lake with outside seating was perfect. We are a picky group about cleanliness, but had no issues. Everything was really clean. It’s the perfect place for several couples. If you are going to Canton, it’s an easy drive there. Will definitely recommend to others!

Wonderful property!

We loved our stay at this beautiful waterfront home. Everything was even better than pictured or described. The home is beautifully decorated and well supplied. We loved having our coffee on the wrap around porch in the morning as we watched the sun rise! We stayed over Thanksgiving and it was a welcome respite away from the city. Highly recommend this home!

Awesome getaway!

This spacious, comfortable and well appointed home was the best yet for our annual getaway with friends. The wrap around deck doubles the living and eating areas. The lot is well shaded and we had a great time playing board games on the deck and corn hole in the yard. We ended our second night around the fire pit making s'mores and enjoying the beautiful weather and conversation. Can’t wait to return with friends and family. Thank you for your hospitality!

Wonderful vacation home.

This home had everything you could possibly need. Kitchen was large enough for several cooks. The bedrooms were large and beds were very comfortable. The patio was beautiful with so much space. So many things there for fun that we did not have time to do everything. My only complaint was that one bedroom was outside. Other than that everything else was fabulous.

Beautiful property with huge lawn that our whole family enjoyed. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, lots of beach towels and life jackets. Owners were great with communication. We tied our boat up to their dock - excellent location on the lake. Walmart was close by and easy to make a quick grocery run. Wish we owned this property ourselves! Wonderful !

Lake Living

Our stay was perfect.. The house was clean, well stocked, beautifully decorated, roomy and had activities for every age. We range from ten to eighty-one.. Fishing was the greatest attraction along with corn hole competitions, consistently won by the grandparents. The owners were wonderful and they were quick to respond to questions.. The pictures provided didn’t do justice to the beauty of both the house and the expansive, well manicured outdoors. We would truly enjoy a longer stay..

Awesome lake house

What a wonderful property. The pictures depict it perfectly. The beds are all comfortable and the bedrooms each have their own bath so this would be great for families sharing space. The kitchen is extremely nice. Everything you need to cook up wonderful dinners. The grill is top of the line. There's just nothing bad to say about this place. We had a minor plumbing issue late on Saturday, but I called the owner and he had a plumber there within an hour and the problem was fixed. Awesome, awesome, awesome. We will be back soon!

Wonderful time with family and Lake House

We had a wonderful time my wife and I and our young adult children at the Lake house. The property is immaculately clean and well taken care of both the inside and outside. The out side view of the lake is beautiful with trees and well landscaped. We used the fire pit at night and barbecued during the day. We did rent some jet ski's and was able to pull right up to the house and easily take turns riding. Back of house has a full wraparound porch offered lots of time to just sit and relax talking spending time together viewing the lake. We would recommend it highly.
