Family-Friendly 5BR Waterfront Retreat with Stunning Views on Cedar Creek Lake
Welcome to your perfect family lake escape on Cedar Creek Lake! This spacious 5-bedroom, 3-bath home is designed for unforgettable gatherings, peaceful mornings, and long, relaxing evenings by the water. Set on a quiet cove with stunning sunset views, this property offers everything families need to unwind and have fun.
Step outside to a huge backyard made for play—complete with yard games, room to run, and plenty of space for kids and adults to enjoy the outdoors together. End each evening around the fire pit, roasting marshmallows and watching the sky turn orange over the lake.
The back porch is a favorite spot, featuring comfortable seating, a grill for family cookouts, and a peaceful place to sip coffee or enjoy dinner overlooking the water. Bring your boat! The property includes a private dock, perfect for tying up during your stay, swimming, fishing, or simply relaxing by the lake.
Inside, you’ll find plenty of room for the whole family to spread out, gather, and make lasting memories. Whether you're here for water sports, peaceful weekends, or a fun family getaway, this home has everything you need for an amazing lakeside vacation.
This lake house has been our family’s special getaway for years, and it holds so many memories of our kids growing up—long summer days on the water, evenings around the fire pit, and countless sunsets on the back porch. Now that our kids are older and we don’t get to use the home as often, we’re truly excited to share it with other families. Our hope is that you’ll experience the same joy, rest, and unforgettable moments here that our family has cherished for so long.

About the host
Hosted by Andrew Gwynn
We are from the Dallas Metroplex and love to escape to the lake house to slow down and unwind.
Why they chose this property
We chose Star Harbor because of it's friendly community, safety, and access to the best lake in Texas- Cedar Creek. We love walking the neighborhood, taking the boat out fishing or surfing, paddle boarding, and taking day trips to Canton.
What makes this property unique
Our property is on a protected cove with a view of the big water. Our end of the lake is normally out of the wind and calmer for water sports and jet skis, but you can boat to popular spots in just a few minutes.
