The property is nestled into a quiet community near the water. The space was perfect for our family.

About this property

A secret Hideaway in Great Lake Home with a view

Cedar Creek Lake, Quaint, Quiet & Peaceful lake property. 1/2 acre with oak trees, fire pit, on cul-de-sac in Hidden Harbor, Trinidad, Texas. Close to Grocery store, Dollar Store within Seven Points. 2 Bedroom House, with Hide-a-bed. Two bathrooms. Internet provided by Century Link and 1Gbps Fiber Internet, and Amazon Prime. Excellent for a quiet get-a-away or for some Lake Rest and Relaxation with Family and Friends. Close to Gun Barrel City. 1 hour & 20 Minutes from Dallas. The property is one house from the lake. Access to the lake is via Public Access points, and Public Docks. There is no access to the water from the Property. There are several Marina's, and Public Swimming locations around the Lake. Updated with New Microwave in the kitchen, and a New Industrial Washer and Dryer. Next on the upgrades is to replace the carpet with tile, paint the house, that will happen in 2021, or 2022. It's rural other here, it's a cozy, quiet house, not perfect, but it's home to me and partner when we are there, we love it. Looking to rent a Boat on the lake: https://boatrentusa.com/

Spacious and comfortable
Loved the stay! It felt very homey. The decor and decorative knick-knacks were an added bonus!

24th anniversary trip
We took a week and stayed at two different places. Your place was the second stay in our trip, and we absolutely adore your house. The weather was not conducive to going to the Canton first Monday sale like we had hoped, so we just stayed in and enjoyed the comfort of your home. We hope we checked out well, we left the beds unmade, gathered the towels we used and put them on the washer, gathered up our trash and put it out. We hope we left your home in as Good as shape as we found it, I meant to leave my bottle of di amore but my husband grabbed it. Thanks for the great place to stay.

Nice home!
Great to have plenty of space to relax. Nice property with lots of trees. Hubby wished for some coffee on days two and three, but other than that, the kitchen was well stocked for your needs. Loved the comfy couch! We enjoyed a nice quiet stay over the holiday weekend.

Favorite property
This is always our work crew's first choice when they know they will be working at the lake. As soon as we know we are working at the lake they ask me to see if this property is available. We are always so grateful when it is. Can't say enough good things about our multiple stays here. They love it!

Cozy cottage with interesting decor
This cottage has 2 clean full bathrooms - one in a bedroom and one main bathroom. Both bedrooms have queen/king beds and the living room has a day bed. The kitchen is very nice. The carpets are old and have a cat smell. We could not see the lake from this property. Fine for a 2-night stay and for the price. There is a coffee shop and cute restaurant nearby.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Balderson

Host profile image
My name is Michelle Balderson, My partners name is Faren Iwanicha. We purchased the house in 2019. We live in Canada, and plan for this home to be our part time retirement home when we retire. We love Texas, and the Lake. One day hope to have a boat to enjoy the water.

Why they chose this property

Why would you rent this Property? It's not lake front, yet, it's nice and cozy. A great get away. Lots of positive reviews, some negative. It's not for everyone. Yet, it's a great place if you want quiet, and relaxing time. Our neighbors right next door have a rooster, and chickens, so if you don't like being woken up in the morning with Cock a doodle doo's, then this place isn't for you. They also have dogs, who will bark from time to time. When we are there, we go for walks in the neighborhood, casual. It's fun, there is lots to see. It's nice to look out to the water on those walks. We go into Seven Points, and Gun Barrel. Good places to eat at both. I learned recently that they have opened a Winery near our home, that has live music from time to time. We just love it.

What makes this property unique

We have Take a Bottle, Leave a Bottle display in the Kitchen / Dining area. Just in case you forgot to pick up wine, or spirits, well they are there, just replace what you use.

We are big on smoking meat, there is a meat smoker, and a fireplace that can be used to grill meat outside. It's hot in Texas, so most don't use the fireplace inside, yet it's there. Great Winter use.

We don't have a King sized bed in our home in Canada. There is one there in Texas, and it's new, as we bought it when we bought the house. We put in about 10,000 in upgrades since we purchased the house. We plan on doing more, Painting the outside, replacing the carpets, and fixing some of the Honey do, things that need to be fixed. Like I said, it's not perfect, nothing is, yet it's our kind of comfy. Come, stay, enjoy.
