About this property

-Open water-Fire Pit-Stunning Sunsets-Lake access even in low levels

This lake vacation was meant to be enjoyed around the beautiful fire pit and huge plush yard. Huge covered porch with ceiling fans is an enjoyable way to spend a relaxing morning drinking coffee watching the birds on the lake. The plush grass yard is the perfect area to grill or experience the beautiful lake view. The swimming area next to the dock has a rare sandy bottom that is ideal for playing in the lake. Large trees surrounding the property provide cool shade for the grassy St Augustine lawn. In the evenings relax around the fire pit that is ideal for roasting marshmallows. If that wasn't enough, the property also has a boat house with a swim deck for fishing and sun bathing on the lake. Bring your boat and conveniently use the boat house to keep your boat safe when not in use. (Check lake levels) The neighborhood also has a convenient private boat ramp (check lake levels), a short walk away from the property.

Custom Built Home, located in Indian Harbor, this Paradise is perfect for a relaxing getaway. You will love the Panoramic views of the Open water. All bedrooms have a lake view and the loft view is amazing. The front porch is inviting and covered with a nest hello door bell.

A large covered deck with ceiling fans, surround sound speakers, and seating for 12 provides a comfortable space for dining, grilling, relaxing, and watching the sun set.

This vacation home is fully furnished and can accommodate 12 people (8 adults, 4 kids) comfortably. There are 3 bedrooms, a loft, 2.5 bathrooms and a laundry room. The large kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, including all necessities for cooking. The master bedroom, which opens to the deck, has a king size bed, the second and third bedrooms have queen size beds. The futon makes into a small full size bed, there are two twin mattresses on a trundle bed and a twin bed in the loft. A queen size air mattress can be put out for larger groups. Enjoy the wood burning fireplace on cool nights as you look out the expansive walls of glass onto the lake from the living room.

An easy hour's drive from downtown Dallas and just south of Gun Barrel City, the house is conveniently located close to shopping and restaurants. Canton's First Monday Trade Days (Held on the weekend prior to the first Monday of every month) is only a 30 minute drive and filled with fantastic flea market finds. Plenty to do nearby and a lake view that never gets old... Come experience paradise at Cedar Creek Lake. It's hard to go home!

The kitchen we found the second day when we went to do breakfast that the countertops were not clean even some of the dishes were dirty and I don’t see how it can be listed as wheelchair accessible when it does not have a ramp to get in the house and the bathrooms don’t have grab bars and the shower is not accessible neither other than those few things the place was very nice

Thank you for your review. I appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Regarding the keys, there was some difficulty coordinating their return after they were left at the property, which created challenges on your end paying the postage. I understand that mailing them back was frustrating for you, and I appreciate your eventual efforts to resolve the situation. I’m sorry to hear that parts of the home did not meet your expectations. Cleanliness is very important to us, and the condition of the kitchen countertops and dishes you mentioned falls below our standards. Had this been brought to my attention during your stay, I would have gladly arranged for our cleaning service to return promptly and address it. I also want to clarify a couple of points for future guests. Prior to your booking, I communicated that the property is not wheelchair accessible, as there are steps leading into the home and no ramp available. I also noted that the shower does not have a chair or handrails, though it is a large walk-in shower. You indicated at the time that these features would not be an issue. Additionally, during your stay you mentioned that the property looked great and did not raise any concerns or request assistance. I value all guest feedback and will continue working with our cleaning team to ensure the home is consistently prepared to a high standard. Thank you again for your stay.

Thank you for your review. We noticed you left a 4-star rating, and we’re a bit puzzled, as there were no issues communicated during your stay and you checked in early without any problems. We always strive to provide a 5-star experience, so if there was anything that didn’t meet your expectations, we’d truly appreciate your feedback. This helps us improve and ensure future guests have the best possible stay.

We designed and built our custom home and started short term vacation rentals in 2014. We have been hosting lake get aways for several years. We are so blessed to be able to share with you our slice of paradise on the lake.

Why they chose this property

My vacation property has HIGH END FINISHS throughout with all the comforts of home. Most guest say they do not want to leave the country atmosphere. The large kitchen was designed for lake entertaining. Relax around our huge fire pit and enjoy the concrete side walks to the boat dock and lake. Our swimming area by the dock is perfect for you to enjoy the lake.

What makes this property unique

My property is located on open water and has a large protected cove for skiing , wake boarding, tubing and knee boarding. You will not have to travel far to get into calm water for your boating activities. The fishing in our area is good along the shore line and off dock.
The expansive backyard is perfect for your lake get away.
