About this property
Awesome LAKE front cottage offers relaxation and fun! Great for Families!
La Vida Loca Cottage offers a relaxing get-a-way and lake front enjoyment. The house is perfect for leisure weekends as well as fun venue for entertaining the family for a week with kayaking, boat rentals nearby for water sports and fishing from the dock.
The southern exposure on open water, and wrap around covered porch is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the predominantly southern breeze. A fresh cup of coffee in the morning on the deck overlooking the lake is a must. The cottage offers a large living area with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, expansive windows, a spacious well-appointed kitchen, and large informal dining bar. Outside the approximately 800 square feet of decking creates the perfect outdoor environment where you and lucky guests will enjoy east facing open water views and unlimited entertainment possibilities. In addition, there is a private boathouse with large sun deck.
We have 2 Kayaks that are available for our guests use.
The house is in a clean and safe well-maintained neighborhood.
PARTIES FOR PROMS, GRADUATION ETC.. ARE NOT ALLOWED.

About the host
Hosted by Marcie Waskey
Love the lake and the sunrises and the peace it brings me. The holiday weekends are great for lots of fun and activity too! Most wonderful place!
Why they chose this property
We named this house 'La Vida Loca' (The crazy life) because there is so much to do. No mater what time of year there are many activities to enjoy around Cedar Creek Lake. What we like most though is sitting and enjoying nature from the porch. There is a great deal of wildlife around the lake-- birds, fish and animals. The lake is a stopping off point for many birds as they migrate for the different seasons. The porch faces Southeast so it is shaded in the afternoon. In the summer there is usually a nice breeze. The sunrises in the mornings can be spectacular.
What makes this property unique
Excellent water! There are two large swings on the back porch, and a sitting area on the dock. The water is good for swimming, boating, water skiing and fishing.
