About this property

The Reel Deal Cedar Creek! Lily Pad, Outdoor TV, Fishing, Games, Grill!

Welcome to The Reel Deal at Cedar Creek!

This summer, dive into lake life where memories are made on the water! Whether you're floating on our giant lily pad, kayaking under the sun, or just soaking in the sunset from the dock, The Reel Deal is your go-to spot for everything water, fun, and family.

~ Waterfront Views: Wake up to the sunrise over the water, meet our resident cranes who love to fish the banks in the morning. And you're sure to meet Hank the Hawk, who surveys the cove out on the backyard swing every morning.

~ Kayaks Included: We offer three complimentary kayaks—perfect for exploring hidden coves or getting in a peaceful morning paddle.

~ Swim, Float, Splash: Our 6x15’ Lilypad is the ultimate summer hangout spot. Dive in from the dock, float with a drink in hand, or watch the kids play from the comfort of the shaded deck.

~ Spacious & Comfortable: 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 2,100 sq ft of laid-back luxury for you and your crew.

~ Dockside Delight: Chill with a beverage on our dock’s new furniture while the kids jump in the water or fish off the edge. Sunsets here? Unreal.

~ Evenings by the Fire: Cap off your water-filled days with s’mores and stories around the firepit.

~ Fully Stocked Kitchen: Cook up anything from lakeside snacks to full dinners—essentials like spices, oil, and more are already here.

~ Smart Tech: Stay connected with strong Wi-Fi, a Smart TV in the living room, and Echo Dots to stream your summer playlist.

~ See It for Yourself: Search YouTube or scan the QR code in our gallery for a video fly-through of The Reel Deal at Cedar Creek Lake!

You are going to love this house.

The LIVING ROOM is large enough for the entire family to gather to hang out around the cozy fireplace, watch the smart TV, or play the various board games provided!

The DINING ROOM is wrapped with large windows at the back of the house providing breathtaking views of Cedar Creek Lake. Enjoy your coffee or read an email on your laptop with an elevated background!

The KITCHEN is equipped with all the amenities of home. Cookware, serving ware, crockpot, wine openers, you name it, we have it. The pantry offers essentials often overlooked by hosts – salt, pepper, oil, vinegar, cooking spray, and more!

The PRIMARY BEDROOM has a queen bed, smart TV with a dedicated dual vanity FULL BATHROOM offering a bathtub/shower combo.

The SECOND BEDROOM offers a queen bed, oversized dresser, and full closet.

The THIRD BEDROOM is a crowd pleaser with two twin bunk beds, a smart TV, and closet. Yes, they are large enough for adults, I have enjoyed many a night in the bunk room!

The second and third bedrooms share a FULL BATHROOM off of the hallway with a shower and ample towels as well as complimentary shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and other toiletries.

But the real magic happens in the 1/2 acre BACKYARD where you can enjoy outdoor activities and take in the scenic views from our private dock.

The DECK offers bar stools for watching the backyard games, a dining table with seating for six, and a gas barbecue grill for feeding the crew after a long day on the water.

The DOCK is the perfect place to swim or fish from. The brand new dock furniture will make sunset your favorite part of the day.

Weekend Get Away

We had planned a shopping weekend in Canton and were overjoyed with this property! We left early in the morning and the drive was only 30 minutes or so. It was the cleanest VRBO I have ever stayed in. Beautiful views of the lake and games galore. Would highly recommend this property for families and couples alike.

Perfect for Our Purpose!

The Reel Deal was selected for our annual sibling reunion. The home is very spacious, the kitchen is very well stocked and equipped, and the extra food items and fixings in the pantry were great! The deck was a perfect spot for an outside meal. I enjoyed the dock immensely, and even caught a fish!

Peaceful weekend

We had a fantastic stay at the Reel Deal! Check in/out was smooth, and the neighborhood was quiet with friendly neighbors. My boys loved the fishing dock and caught about 5 fish every night.The house was nice and clean and Melissa was a great host. We will be back this summer!

Every Day is a Vacay and Nights are S'more Fun!

Staying at this cozy waterfront retreat was a delight! From the moment we arrived, we felt its unique character, warmth and hospitality. Everything here is immaculately clean and well-maintained. The owners clearly put a lot of thought into making sure that guests have everything they need for a comfortable stay. There is no shortage of fun activities to enjoy! We spent our days on the lake or fishing off the private dock - and our evenings playing yard games and gathering around the fire pit to make s'mores and stargaze. We can't wait to come back and create more memories in this fun and special place!

Great Place!

We had a great stay! We had 3 kids ranging from 1-6 and all had so much fun! The house was super clean and actually had a lot of amenities that were super helpful. Community pantry is a great idea for those little things you only use once probably forgot, like spices and oils. And the game closet had a lot of fun
