Location: Cedar Creek Lake, Prairies & Lakes, Texas, USA (West Side of Lake-1 Hour from Dallas-short drive to Canton)
Accommodations: Lake House, 2 Bedrooms + Sleeping Porch, 2 Baths (Sleeps 8)
PEACE AND PLENTY, our family's lakeside cottage offered for rent by days, weeks, months or years. Large sun dappled yard with tranquil lake views, shaded by mature trees in highly desirable subdivision, on the west side of Cedar Creek lake, less than 60 miles from Dallas and a short drive to Canton Trade Days.
Master Bedroom features king size bed, the second bedroom has a queen size bed and the air conditioned sleeping porch has a bunk bed with double on the bottom and twin size bed on the top. Fully equipped country kitchen has a serving/dining bar opening into the spacious Family Room. The family room has a queen size sofa bed (making this house sleep 8 comfortably). The pine cabinet stores games, puzzles, family and children videos and music from classical to Jimmy Buffett and of course, crayons and coloring books. The master bath situated between the two bedrooms has a whirlpool tub for TWO. The downstairs "Locker Room" houses the second bath, washer/dryer, ice cream freezer, party size coffee urn, air pumps for filling blow up toys and rafts, etc. and various and sundry items to make your lake stay comfortable.
The wicker filled screened porch is my favorite room and where we dine most of the time. The screened porch has two ceiling fans (There are ceiling fans in every room of the house and five tons of air conditioning.) Entertaining is great in this cottage with a welcoming patio at the front door featuring an umbrella table and four chairs, bench and a chimenea and hummingbird feeders. The grilling patio with smoker grill under the sun porch has a small table and four chairs and old fashioned swing. The boathouse party deck with twinkling rope lights at night is a perfect place to fish, entertain or just catch turtles or enjoy the second chimanea. There is an abundance of off-street parking for your guests on the long double driveway. No parking on the grass, please. What weekend would be complete without s'mores and we have a nice campfire area and plenty of skewers for that purpose. The sights and sounds of Spring are definitely in the air, so come settle into a comfortable chair overlooking the lake and watch the world go by. If you just need to "run away from home" for a couple of days Peace and Plenty Cottage may be whispering your name!
Help yourself to the many paperbacks and magazines but please leave the children's books. There are bird books, one pair of binoculars, two telescopes, a poker table and scrap booking supplies.
Near-by you will find bowling, a new amusment park, VFW Hall, boat ramps, fishing bait, full service marina, bingo, grocery store, square dancing, ballroom dancing, first run movie theater, golf and more. (Shady Oaks Range and 9 hole Golf Course-903-880-3404, and King's Creek Golf Club 903-498-8888, an 18 hole golf club; both located just off of Hwy. 274, close to the cottage
We love our little cottage and we want you to think of it as YOURS when you are here. So come on down to the lake and do whatever "floats your boat"! Oh, by the way, reserve now for Canton Trade Days. (If we do not answer your e-mail quickly enough

Thank you so much for opening to our family your special lake home. We feel in love with your beautifully decorated "Peace and Plenty" and felt right at home here. We loved the lake view, screen porch and deck. "Peace and Pleanty' is an obvious loved home...very cherished. Thank you again. T. and S,
