Lake House Vacay

We had an amazing time at the lake house! It was my family, my parents, and my brother's family. So, 6 adults and 4 teen boys! The house was super cute, full of everything we could possibly need, and the hosts were very responsive! We cooked full meals for 10 every night, and had all the pots, pans, and cooking utensils necessary. We all slept very comfortably, and the dock was perfect for everyone to fish off of. Thank you Andy, for a great mini vacation!

Love this property. The owners are very quick to respond to any questions. The home is stocked with supplies from towels, toiletries, and kitchen equipment. The beds are comfy. We came for my daughters 17th birtday so two adults and six teenagers and still had an empty bedroom and an empty bunk bed so it is great for larger groups. We very much enjoyed the sunset view from the top of the deck it was so beautiful. The teens had a great time as well with lots of time in the water using the available paddle boards, etc. We will definitely be coming back.

The Perfect lake Getaway.

I cannot say enough about how nice this place is. All updated, very clean, and the best access to lake, fishing, along with the kayak's and paddleboards. My favorite part is the lights on the dock at night...just magical.

Wonderful Stay!

Great house and beautiful location on the lake. We were a group of ladies going to Canton 1st Monday. Easy 30 minute drive into Canton. We loved all being together and staying here instead of a hotel. I definitely want to come back to this home during the summer to fully enjoy the lake and beautiful sunsets!

Mom Getaway

We had the most fun at this beautiful house! It’s the perfect place for an active group. We celebrated our friend’s 40th with the best views, late night talks on the lit up top deck, kayaking and paddle board excursions, sunbathing on the lily pad and grilling out. I would recommend this home to any group of friends or family looking to make the most of a lake vacation.

Wonderful weekend getaway

Location was the best on the lake that we saw. The dock was incredible... so clean, new, and in pristine condition. Furniture in the house is very comfortable. The kids loved the bunk room. We really appreciated having the Kayaks and the paddle boards there for our use. Great stay...we hope to go back soon!

This was by far one of the best rentals we have been to. My family absolutely enjoyed the dock and the water toys. They caught so many fish, it was great to see my kids wake up early (4-5am) and head out for more fishing.

Family weekend on the lake

So much to do at the house that you never need to leave. The kids wanted to stay outside the whole time either fishing or playing on the water (rope swing, lake mat, kayaks). The house has everything you can think of. The hosts were super friendly checking in to make sure we were enjoying our stay which of course we were. The location on the lake and the dock were perfect.

Beautiful Lake House

We come to Texas every summer to spend time with our family. We rented this home for the convenience of the lake. It was perfect, the provided lake games and floaties were perfect for all day entertainment. The dock was amazing and made it easy for our family to bring their boats over for the weekend. The owners had great communication which made the stay even better. 5 star.

About the host

Hosted by Sharon Sykes

Host profile image
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!
