About this property

Escape to the Lake - Waterfront bungalow w firepit & amazing views

Settled right on the shores of Cedar Creek Lake, this 3-bed, 2-bath relaxing family home is an ideal Texas retreat. Take in the sweeping views of the lake from the spacious 3- level deck. Enjoy kayaks, fishing, and swimming from our backyard lake access or just spend some needed time connecting with your family. Gather in our modern kitchen, play the many indoor and outdoor games or just enjoy the day in wistful hammocks or tree swings. We are excited to host your lake adventure.

Our home was recently completely remodeled and you will have access to the entire home. Our large backyard provides access to the lake with a kayak launch/lake ladder. You will enjoy the large back deck with plenty of lounge areas. There are three bedrooms; two with queen beds and a bunkroom. The bunkroom has four full sized beds that are extra long and designed for adult or children.

The house is equipped with everything you need in the kitchen for great cooking indoors or out. Inside we have a cozy woodburning fireplace and slider patio doors that open completely to provide indoor outdoor living. If you prefer to grill or smoke that awesome Texas brisket, we have you covered with combo grill/smoker with a gas grill on one side and a full wood/charcoal smoker on the other. We have a full set of BBQ tools available.

Our backyard provides a firepit with five Adirondack chairs and multiple yard games including giant Jenga, giant connect 4, a football, soccer, and badminton set. We also have two tree swings.

Parking is available in the driveway, but please limit it to four vehicles.

Boats: We not nor currently have a boathouse or pier. The public boat launch is within few miles of the house. If you bring a boat you are welcome to tie up to our seawall in the backyard, but we request that your boat be trailered when not in use (evenings) to protect our seawall from any damage.

The home is located within a short drive to the main street in Gun Barrel City which provides quick access to restaurants, Starbucks, a nearby state park, and a family fun park.

If you have any questions, please let us know how we can help you plan your family adventure.

About the host

Host profile image
I love to travel, though I need to get away more often (post Covid hopefully). My favorite recent trips have been to Dublin, London, Bavaria, Austria, Baden Baden, and Belfast. I am all things techie. I enjoy the new media business and I am a new runner (completed 2 half marathons). I enjoy meeting new people that can bring new perspectives. Love urban living but also enjoy the quiet peace of lake living. I like showing people cool places in the city to hang out, eat or just have fun. I am happy to help you find your way!
