About this property

WATERFRONT, sun rises, gated yard, spacious porch, 1 story - Serenity!

Fantastic (waterside) lake views pull at you from sunrise to sunset; you never want to leave the porch. LARGE fenced in yard (lakeside) - peace and tranquility just 70 miles from Dallas! Sometimes, you can catch glimpses of a white heron, ducks, cardinals, and several other birds...you will feel tranquility here.

The kitchen is a home cook’s dream. This home can fit a large family, but is also perfect for just two. This home is perfect for making memories. The open concept great room has vaulted ceilings with the amazing views of the lake as the centerpiece. We are located in an area that is PERFECT for swimming. We have a paddle board for your personal use.

3 NIGHT MINIMUM STAY FOR SUMMER & HOLIDAY RENTALS.

Owners, Laura & Dan manage 3 Lake Front Properties.

We understand the need to get away and take a break in a safe, serene setting with your family. All you need to do is come and relax, sit back with your feet up and take in the beautiful lake views. Let the kids run in the fully fenced lakeside yard, fish off our small dock [or community dock] and enjoy a splash in the water.

We offer family friendly services and are available to answer your questions promptly.
A fantastic newer style home on Cedar Creek Lake. Bright and open. Whether lake levels are high or low {lake levels fluctuate - we are on a cove}, your family can play at the water's edge, collect seashells or venture out deeper to enjoy your water toys. We have a paddle board and lily pad - they can be tied up to our dock in our protected cove. You can enjoy building an evening fire in the firepit, all the while enjoying the privacy this cove has to offer your family.

There are water views from nearly every room in the house. The immense back porch makes it possible for Mom and Dad to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening while watching the kids playing in the water. Dream house is what we call it, we think you will too!

The house was perfect for everything we needed for a relaxing weekend getaway with my family. Everything was clean and sufficiently stocked with all that you need. The wonderful back porch was my favorite place to be. Watching the lake and wildlife on a beautiful morning was everything we wanted. Roasting s'more's on an evening and grilling burgers in the back by the water was really nice. The proximity to town and surrounding restaurants and groceries was excellent. Everything within 5-10 mins. We had a lovely time staying here and visiting Cedar Creek Lake.

We loved the house. The neighborhood was quiet. My son caught a few fish. We had a family get together for our youngest child’s 10th birthday. We had 6 adults and 3 kids (10, 13, 16). There was plenty of room for all of us! The only issue we had was the white fencing by the lake was not secure. Thankfully my kids are old enough to be careful.
Nice and clean.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Barnett

Host profile image
We purchased this lake house because we fell in love with it the minute we walked through the door. The HUGE open room in the center of the home, with amazing lake views brought us peace. We love to travel, but most of all we love our family & friends. We believe we found the perfect place to spend time together and enjoy a little bit of God's beautiful creation!

Why they chose this property

Many homes around the lake were built in the 70's and 80's. We wanted a newer home, one with water views. For us, this home was a rare find, a treasure, a perfect lake home offering privacy, room to play and magnificent views. We are also on one level - that means NO STAIRS!

What makes this property unique

It is situated in a quiet neighborhood on a cul-de-sac. Very tranquil, peaceful. Our home has a HUGE yard with an amazing view of the lake.
