About this property

Newly Remodeled - Dream Lake Home on Cedar Creek Reservoir 60 mins from Dallas!

Note - this property has been off the VRBO market for the past year for remodeling and is just now coming available. The previous listing review: Wonderful! 4.8/5

This home is the perfect getaway spot for your family!

We understand the need get away and take a break in a safe, serene setting with your family. Now, all you need to do is come and relax, sit back with your feet up, and take in the beautiful lake views. Let the kids run in the fenced lakeside yard, fish off the dock, and for the hearty, enjoy a splash in the water.

You can swim in the lake right from the yard or fish from the dock. Cedar Creek Lake fishing guides believe fishing under at our dock to be one of the best places to fish on the lake. Boating and jet skiing make for good times in our protected waters.

Our lake home has 3 private bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, plus 2 additional sleeping areas:
- The are 2 master bedrooms that each have their own private bathroom, a king-sized bed, and private access to the deck with a lake view. One of these has bedrooms has an extra-long twin bed.
- The third bedroom has a king-sized bed and an extra-long twin bed.
- The third shared bathroom has been recently remodeled and has a tub / shower.
- The enclosed front entry has a queen futon. The house has 4 doors to the outside. So, if our guests use the enclosed porch for sleeping, they can have their privacy as there are 3 other doors to the deck!
- The loft offers sleeping for 4 and access is by ladder for the young at heart.

We have rental watercraft available at our lake home. Rental is arranged separately:
Sit-on-top Kayak (Two Person)
Sit-in Kayak (One Person)
Standup Paddle Board
Paddles and Life Vests
MAKE REQUESTS DIRECTLY WITH OWNER with payment arranged separately for these items.

We have a huge 50' covered deck looking out over the water allowing you to eat and play comfortably during any season or weather. You will be able to enjoy your family and friends with all the sights and sounds of deep water right in your back yard! The grill is new and has a spare LP tank. In the Fall and Winter, you have the warmth of the fireplace, or you can roast marshmallows over a fire in the fire pit.

The kitchen and family room were designed for entertaining! The large open area has tons of seating and many say the experience is like being on a boat with floor to ceiling views of the lake. There are two dishwashers, two washing machines, and two dryers to keep up with your needs!

We are located on the south end of Cedar Creek Lake where we enjoy deep, deep water. The water is typically 9 feet deep. The lake was down 5 feet during the 2022 summer drought, and we still had 4 to 5 feet of water under the dock!

The Pinnacle Golf Club is less than 1 mile away and is open to the public.

There is a boat ramp in our subdivision for launching watercraft and several large public boat ramps nearby.

Amazing stay for our family. Stayed 2 nights and loved every minute of it! The view of the lake was incredible and the pictures on line do not do it justice. There are views from almost every room. The house was well kept and clean. Very comfortable. Great kitchen with plenty of counter space and great island. A coffee and tea area was provided and our family thoroughly enjoyed that! Also, the house has 2 sets of washer and dryer and that was a super amazing unexpected plus! Plenty of perks outside too. Beautiful porch, great grill, and lots of lake fun opportunities. Our family had a great stay and cannot recommend this place enough. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you Shelley and John your house is lovely.

Our family has really enjoyed staying at this property. It’s a very quiet and settled neighborhood. We love the beautiful view of the lake at all hours of the day from almost every bedroom. Each bedroom that faces the water also has its own sliding glass door to the back porch overlooking the lake. You will see fish jumping early in the morning and early evening. A great fishing spot right from the dock. The newly remodeled boat dock is really nice too. The house has the master bedroom on one side and the other two bedrooms on the opposite side. The kitchen and living/family area is in between. The owners have thought of just about anything you might need while relaxing away from home. Kitchen has lots of pots and pans, casserole dishes, cookie and muffin tin ready for use. Every bedroom has a ceiling fan and desk or box fan if needed. Bathrooms are well stocked with towels and showers have soap and shampoo.There are lots of games, dominoes, jigsaw puzzles, coloring books for all ages! So many extra benefits. We did not use the water craft or fishing items while there but they have lots to choose from as well as varying water toys also. The owners respond promptly to any concerns or issues. They have put a lot of love into this lake house for others to enjoy. We will be back!

This is an amazing property! Very quiet area and the view of the lake doesn’t get any better. The house is equipped with everything you need, is super super clean and comfortable! We had a short relaxing stay. Love that it is dog friendly and the yard is well enclosed. The metal stairs into the lake helps the dog get in and out easily while we are swimming.

Perfect Lake House

I loved staying at this house. The views were great. It had the best stocked kitchen I've ever seen in a vrbo and the hosts were responsive. I'd love to come back in the warmer months and experience the lake.

Phenomenal stay!

This was by far the most beautiful lake house we have stayed at. It was extremely well stocked with anything you could need. Plenty of sitting spots outside and in to take in the lake views. The fenced in yard is great for bringing your dog! The steps into the lake allowed our dog to easily going in and out of the lake with us. Can’t wait to stay here again!
