Lovely Lakehouse vacation

This stay was very pleasant. The house is absolutely beautiful and spacious. My family enjoyed the kayak and lake toys. The kids swam in the lake. Others sat around the gazebo just relaxing. I had the most fun relaxing in the hammock. Just a lovely vacation. Now, my family members wants to move to Texas. I enjoyed working with the Owners. Very sweet, friendly lady. Thank you for lending us your amazing home.

Wonderful, peaceful location with plenty of room and comfortable beds for all.

Loved this property for our girls' getaway weekend! Owners provided plenty of outdoor seating to take advantage of spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Large kitchen accommodated several cooks at a time, and the numerous bedrooms gave each of us our own sleeping space. We had a wonderful time!

Fantastic lake house

We had a great time spending the weekend at the lake house. The updated kitchen and bathrooms were very nice. We especially enjoyed the outdoor features - the large dock for our boat, nice grassy area, and the fire pit. We had a such a fun time and would definitely return.

A great BIG house!

We really enjoyed our stay at Tranquility Cove. There was room for everyone and the view of the lake is beautiful. There was plenty of space outdoors and indoors for our big family and we made some great memories. The house stayed cool, the yard was big and shady, and the dock was fun.

Family vacation

Had a great time and enjoyed our stay immensely. Although the lake level was low due to this year’s drought, our grandkids had a great time utilizing the property’s paddle boat, kayak and game room. The family corn hole and pool tournaments were a blast. Very quite area on the lake and definitely recommend.

Best lake house for a big family getaway

I highly recommend this house for a family gathering with all ages, from 4 - 86! My mom (86) even swam for the first time in years because it was so easy to get to the dock and in and out of the water. And we had the joy of being there for the July 4th holiday and the fireworks were fantastic!

30th Birthday Weekend

My family and friends stayed at the property to celebrate my 30th birthday. Everyone had an absolute blast and raved about the location and amenities. We spent almost the entire time on the deck soaking up the perfect weather, paddle boating, or playing a few games of corn hole. The location and surroundings were so peaceful. We are looking forward to planning another trip back.

The Perfect Weekend

We were a group of friends with several kids between six and one year old. The plan was simple: relax by the lake, grill, cook a paella, and enjoy some family and friends time. The house and lake are beautiful and quite, and it made the plan easy. There were plenty of lawn chairs and accessories to help us have a great time. Each night, once the kids were in bed, we sat around the fire and get a very well deserved break. The rooms and beds were all comfortable, the kitchen fully equipped, and water related goods in perfect condition. We will certainly come back.

Great spot for boaters

Having your own boat ramp is an such a huge convenience. This house it made to be enjoyed on the back deck, or on the boat dock, or by the campfire. The interior of the house is not as big as it seems, but it slept 10 of us just fine, and we had plenty of places to sit inside or outside to eat.

The Perfect Gathering Place

This home served as the perfect gathering place for our large family. There was room for us all to be together to visit and catch up on each other’s lives as well as spread out and do our own thing. We ate, swam, fished, rode jet skis, played games and loved every minute of it. The owner was always quick to respond to my questions. Thank you for the memories!

Perfect for a large family gathering.

Rented Tranquility Cove for son's wedding so groom's family could stay together instead of renting hotel rooms. Sleeps 16 comfortably and plenty of room for everyone inside & out. Clean and spacious. The game room, boat dock and grounds were fabulous. I could live there. We hope to return in the summer when we can spend more time at the property. I would recommend Tranquility Cove it is a "perfect" place!

Tranquility & Teenagers

What a great property and beautiful view! It truly reflected it’s name “Tranquillity Cove” every morning & late evening. But the teenagers woke it all up when they got going! The best compliment was when the teenagers said “We’re doing this every year! Right?!” This was a very special family time!

About the host

Hosted by Pam Tolbert

Host profile image
My husband and I bought this lake house to enjoy with our family and friends. We decided to make it available to others, as we do not live there full time.

We want our property to be a place for making memories and enjoying a relaxing getaway. We hope that our renters will value the property, and treat it as if it were their home while visiting.


Why they chose this property

When we started looking for lake property, we viewed a lot of different locations on Cedar Creek Lake. When we drove into the driveway of this house, I remember thinking "this is it"! The view of the water and the layout of the property was exactly what we had been looking for.

We wanted to be in an area that was easily accessible from the DFW Metroplex and from the Houston area. Close enough to allow for a weekend visit, and far enough away to provide a break from the daily routine.

What makes this property unique

Our house is located on a quiet cove, perfect for water play with less boat traffic than other areas of the lake. The view across our cove is undisturbed nature, and provides the perfect backdrop for morning sunrises!
