About this property
Hilltop Retreat, Lakefront 6BR, Boat Dock, Hot Tub
Wake up on a peaceful channel off Cedar Creek Lake and spend your days in a backyard built for memories with a covered porch, upper deck, private dock, wood-burning firepit, Adirondacks and a hot tub for 6.

Roku TVs in all king and queen suites. Kayak and paddleboard included for easy lake days.
Set on a quiet channel off Cedar Creek Lake, this bold, design-forward lakehouse is built for unforgettable group getaways. Whether you’re here for slow mornings on the water, game nights upstairs, or sunset soaks in the hot tub, this home delivers comfort, space, and serious backyard energy.
THE BACKYARD (where you’ll spend most of your time) This outdoor setup is a powerhouse. A covered porch flows to an upper deck overlooking the water, with a private boat dock ready for lake days. Relax in Adirondack chairs around the wood-burning firepit, grill dinner on the propane grill, or unwind in the hot tub for six under the Texas sky. Bring your crew—this space was made for gathering.
THE LIVING SPACES Inside, you’ll find a spacious, light-filled main living room with large windows facing the water- perfect for movie nights or morning coffee with a view. Upstairs, a second living area doubles as a game lounge with a Smart TV, games, and space to spread out. Two separate gathering areas make this home ideal for larger groups.
THE KITCHEN The kitchen is stunning and fully stocked with all the cooking essentials you need. Prep meals at the island, serve dinner at the table, or take it outside and dine on the deck. Whether you’re cooking for two or twelve, you’ll have everything required to do it comfortably.

The exciting highlight about this property is that every bedroom has its own private en-suite bathroom- no sharing, no hallway lines.
