We enjoyed a peaceful, relaxing weekend on Cedar Creek Lake. The house was very clean, nicely furnished, and loaded with many useful amenities. The location on the lake was picture perfect. The kayaks were a big hit.
We stayed here for our anniversary and fell in love with it. It was nice and clean, no complaints. We love fishing and this was the perfect spot. We cooked the whole stay and we was graced with trash bags, paper towels and seasoning that was already there. I would most definitely recommend this sot and will be returning soon.

Super cute and comfortable place. Don't let the drive through the neighborhood fool you, the house is a gem. Communication was great! Hosts were fantastic and thought of all the details! The decks were great. There's even enough space to park a boat trailer in front. Would definitely book again!

From the owner: ''Thank you so much for the wonderful comments. We are excited that the home met your expectations. We strive to give our guests a comfortable and cozy getaway. We hope you return again soon.''
The property was very peaceful, relaxing, and comfortable. The water in the little canal was a little low but still perfect to kyak to the bigger part of the lake. I even caught a small large mouth bass from the dock. Proper was very clean very organized, and well up to date. Will love to stay here again if we’re ever back in the area
The stay was so amazing such a beautiful view early in the morning the house was perfect for just me and my husband the Kayaks were so fun and plus the arcade games they have which my husband loved the whole house was just so perfect to me and my husband we look forward to going back again soon!!

Hello, we are so happy you and your husband had a great time for his birthday. Thank ou for taking good care of our home. We would love to have you back.

This property is fantastic! very clean and modern, it has all the cooking appliances that you'll ever need, quite location and has a private boat/seadoo dock, not far from main body of water which we enjoyed. The owners called and made sure we were comfortable and to answer any question. Easy access to eateries and recreational activities. 100% recommend!
This is the cutest Vrbo we have stayed in. Even though the lake was down, our 9 yr old loved fishing off the dock. He was right outside our door which was awesome! They have everything you need! We loved rocking on the chairs at night. Definitely will be back!
Life at the Lake! Great house for stay at Cedar Creek
Took myself and 2 teenagers for a quick Spring Break getaway. The house completed updated, looks brand new on inside. Right on lake, with a dock and kayaks for us to use. All the amenities (and spices!) are there at the house so it made it very easy for cooking. The host was quick and responsive. Labels around the house helped us navigate. we hope to stay again!
