Tranquility Cove Retreat - the perfect destination to relax, refresh, renew
Our beautiful lake front property has been recently renovated and is ready for your visit!
Plan a family gathering, corporate retreat or group outing...just a short drive from the DFW Metroplex. This property offers a private boat ramp on a large quiet cove, perfect for water sports or just enjoying the beautiful view. The area attracts ducks, cranes & other wildlife, as well as good fishing.
There is a boat slip with cradle available that accommodates a 24-foot v-hull boat. There are tie-ups for pontoon boats or jet skis on the outside of the boat slip, as well as bumpers all around.
The main house has 5 bedrooms (3 with queen beds, one with a twin over double bunk bed, & one with 4 single bunk beds) and 2.5 bathrooms, all remodeled as of February 2021. The guest house has a twin over double bunk bed & a half bath.
The living room has a large screen Smart TV. There is also free high speed internet service.
The kitchen has granite countertops & new appliances, including microwave, double oven with cooktop, dishwasher & refrigerator. The large 2 level deck, with gazebo, offers lots of seating, a charcoal grill & a dining table for outdoor entertaining.
The separate game room has a pool table, a foosball table and a large patio offering a place to party, so the main house remains quiet.
Other amenities include beautiful sunrises, good fishing, an outdoor solar shower and a 3-person kayak. Enjoy the scenery from the covered boat dock or the party deck. The hammock and fire pit provide the perfect place to relax at the end of the day and enjoy a beautiful night sky full of stars.
Book your getaway today at this lovely property! It's the perfect place to enjoy a weekend or a week at the lake!

About the host
Hosted by Pam Tolbert
My husband and I bought this lake house to enjoy with our family and friends. We decided to make it available to others, as we do not live there full time.
We want our property to be a place for making memories and enjoying a relaxing getaway. We hope that our renters will value the property and treat it as if it were their home while visiting.
The large spacious home with guest house provides plenty of room for large family gatherings to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions.

Why they chose this property
When we started looking for lake property, we viewed a lot of different locations on Cedar Creek Lake. When we drove into the driveway of this house, I remember thinking "this is it"! The view of the water and the layout of the property was exactly what we had been looking for.
We wanted to be in an area that was easily accessible from the DFW Metroplex, Houston area and Austin/San Antonio areas. Close enough to allow for a weekend visit, and far enough away to provide a break from the daily routine.
Our neighborhood has several full-time residents giving stability and a sense of home to the area.

What makes this property unique
Our house is located on a quiet cove, perfect for water play with less boat traffic than other areas of the lake. The view across our cove is undisturbed nature and provides the perfect backdrop for morning sunrises and nighttime star gazing.
