Really good stay and property. It's exactly as described. Check in and communication with owner was seamless. The house was clean and comfortable. The view from the deck was amazing.
My family had our second great stay at this property. The house is nicely equipped, very clean and has great views of the lake. We have a large wakesurf boat and the parking pad handles the truck and boat with ease. Recommend this house for anyone looking for a great rental on Center Hill!
We absolutely adored this property. We had a mix of adults and kids and we couldn’t get the kids to leave the game room. The house was beautiful and immaculately decorated. Bed were comfortable, everything was clean and the kitchen was very well stocked. I would definitely recommend.
The house provided our family with what we needed. The back deck is where we spent our time. The house next door was under construction and the workers spent a lot of time in the driveway. That made the lack of covering in the bathroom window a bit interesting. The drive is very steep but we didn’t have any trouble going down or up. The extra parking lot is a good thing as we had several cars.
First off driveway is steep but doable lots of laughs over it!!!! But you would not have the view if it was flat. Awesome view 👏🏻 Lots of space for all of us. ( 7 adults and 3 teens) all the rooms were beautiful no trouble finding the house or anything inside the house. Thank goodness for the extra spices bc I forgot mine. The walk to the lake was very nice . We can’t say enough about the house just amazing. We would totally stay again.
The driveway was way more than we expected from the pictures. So none of us (large trucks) attempted it. We did trek through the path, which would have been easier if graded better, especially tugging cart filled with supplies. Son in-law disappointed because read lake access from trail, so wanted to do some fishing, but once down there, no access due to overgrowth.
The house was beautiful, we all (6) of us, were very comfortable!! And overall, it was a wonderful weekend!!!!
It was a winter storm- was helpful at first but iseemed to not be something in place for mechanical failures in the home - need to address this by something other than unfortunate- luckily things began to reset and began to work - other than that - beautiful place - clean- views were great- it held up well considering it was a winter storm - - manager was nice
Had a great time…..House is beautiful!!!! driveway was a major dislike as manager had mentioned to us before we got there…..need a 4 wheel Drive …way to steep! Trash disposal address is closed on Sunday’s. Took our trash with us. Take your own bar soap and shampoo.
Had all the utensils in kitchen to cook home cooked meals. Very nice kitchen! Beds are very nice and comfortable. Love the view of the Cedar Hill Lake from the deck and house. Enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the hummingbirds at the feeder. Got to see red ear turtles on the trail. Not Handicap accessible.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Easy Living Lodge! The view of the lake was amazing, the house was gorgeous and comfortable, with plenty of space for the 10 of us (two families of 5 staying for "Friendsgiving"). The kids loved the basement, but also had a blast walking down to the lake and playing on the rocks. The surrounding area was so beautiful and peaceful. We would stand out on the deck and just listen to the peace and quiet...not a noise to be heard besides the birds and an occasional boat out on the lake. Elizabeth was great to communicate with and answered all of our questions! Thanks for an amazing stay, and we hope to come back, maybe in the summer, so we can enjoy the lake more!
Updated home with great amenities and a fantastic view of Center Hill. Family-friendly with accommodations for kids and adults. Definitely plan on booking again!
House was as promised. No problems and really appreciated having a gas line to grill instead of propane tanks. We watched the hummingbirds on feeders all weekend.
This was a beautiful location for an extended family getaway. As others have stated, we did have a hard time with the driveway, but we parked in the parking lot down the street and walked the trail to the house. We’d highly recommend this location.
We celebrated my son 18th birthday and high school graduation here. He invited two friends and we couldn’t have asked for a better place. The boys stayed in the game room, complete with two sets of bunk beds, their own full bath, refrigerator and microwave. This place has two master bedroom with attached bathrooms. The third bedroom had it’s own bathroom as well right next door. Very nice place and an awesome view of lake!
Host was so welcoming and accommodating! The house is gorgeous and big enough for the whole family! The view is so beautiful! It was worth the drive! The driveway at times didn’t seem as intimidating, but after a couple of people trying to get my car out, it was successful! we loved spending my birth and Christmas together! So glad we did it!
Beautiful property!! Thank you to the host for having the Christmas decorations up. They were beautiful and was a good fit for our trip. If you are not in pretty good shape and
are female bring some men with you to help get everything from the parking area to the house.

Expectations of this property is beyond ridiculous
The parking is Horrible, you can’t park in the driveway because of the very steep hill,you have to park at a different location and walk back..You pay a cleaning fee but have to clean everything even take all the trash to a different location at a dumpster site,you have to completely strip the beds down.. She complain if you move a nightstand over a little bit to plug your phone up if anything is moved out place it’s a problem.. I was told that the Toilet was move…Just ridiculous stuff not to give me my deposit back…it’s been almost two weeks and i still haven’t got it back and was told it maybe up to 15 more days, 30 days to receive your security deposit back beyond ridiculous it shouldn’t be this hard to get your security deposit back,i also payed for insurance and she still found a way to deduct money out of my security deposit and she didn’t even use the insurance which I had a $1500 coverage..The house was completely clean the trash was took out but I am being charge for stuff being moved over a little bit and was told that a piece of wood was missing out of the pool table when we never even used it. I also was told they had to spot clean one of the comforters which doesn’t make sense to me because every comforter should be washed after each stay I feel like that is very unsanitary to not wash the Comforters after each stay.. Overall the house is beautiful..But you just have to do to much to stay here
This was our 2nd visit and it was just as great as the first time. So much space for everyone to spread out; a game room to keep kids entertained and beautiful vistas of the lake. We’ll be back!
We loved our stay! House was amazing. Nature trail to the water is a great addition. Driveway is very steep. Would love to visit again! Communication with property owner was great. Thanks again!

Why they chose this property
Our family has enjoyed the lake for years and we wanted to build a home where others could enjoy the lake and surrounding area as much as we have. The house was built with vacationers in mind.
What makes this property unique
Boat parking - large, flat, paved parking for boats and cars is located at the end of the lot with a natural trail path to the house.
