About the host
Hosted by Sharon Sykes
Local to the DFW area, we love to escape to Cedar Creek Lake with our family! We hope you enjoy our lake retreat as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
The home is so charming with all the amenities you would want. We outfitted the home with everything we want to have when our family and guests stay there. Comfy bedding, modern amenities, fully stocked kitchen, water toys we enjoy using, outdoor games.... Outside the home, you will be amazed at how you are surrounded by water with views galore. Our just built 1000 sq feet boat dock is unbelievable. Tie up the lily pad, launch the water toys, swim or just hang out on the party deck or the covered below seating area. We also had a swim platform built off the boat dock with rope swing and we have a lake ladder and lake stairs to easily get out of the water or launch the kayaks and stand up paddle boards! Our son loves to fish and the fishing is abundant. He always catches plenty and is able to catch bait fish with his casting net off the shore or boat dock. Being on the lake at dusk and while the sun sets is our favorite part of the day! The sunset views from the party deck or the bottom deck are unbelievable. After the sun sets, we always start a fire in the fire pit and enjoy hanging out while the fishermen in our party continue to fish. The main TV and the bedroom TV's are all Roku-enabled so you can stream from your favorite streaming service. Our home is also conveniently located in Gun Barrel City - close to restaurants and shopping!
