About this property
Bayside on Cedar Creek (Star Harbor). Sleeps 14, Pool
Bayside on Cedar Creek is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath lakefront home on a private peninsula in the Star Harbor community, 75 miles southeast of Dallas. Vaulted cedar ceilings, a stone fireplace, hardwood floors, and an open kitchen with a quartz island anchor the main living area. The kitchen is equipped with a French-door refrigerator, electric cooktop, dishwasher, microwave, and washer/dryer.
The home sleeps a large group, up to 14 people. Three bedrooms include a kids' bunk room with 7 beds — well-suited to multi-generational families. Two full bathrooms, a full-size washer and dryer, and a 20x24 game room round out the indoor space. Covered porches and patios face the lake, and an outdoor grill is set up for lakeside meals. Fiber-optic WiFi throughout.
Outside, guests have a Gunite pool with an automatic pool cleaner and direct lake access at the back of the property. No matter the lake water level, the pool is always available and a refreshing place to spend time.
LAKE ACCESS & ON-PROPERTY WATERCRAFT Notice: The lake is currently low with limited access for watercraft. Please ask for an update when booking.
Guests have full use of the private lakeside dock, including two PWC lifts — bring your own jet skis and dock them at no extra charge. A single boat may be tied up alongside the dock for direct lake access during your stay. Star Harbor's private community boat ramp is also available to guests for launching and retrieving personal watercraft.
The on-site enclosed boathouse holds our private Sea-Doo Switch pontoon boat, used exclusively for captain-guided lake experiences for up to 8 passengers. These are available as an optional add-on through a separate rental agreement — see Optional Lake & Property Experiences below.
OPTIONAL LAKE & PROPERTY EXPERIENCES (BOOKED SEPARATELY)
The following are not included in the nightly rate and are booked separately through a rental agreement. All boat experiences are captain-piloted; guests are always passengers.
- Captain-guided boat outings on the Sea-Doo Switch (up to 8 passengers): lake tours and beach landings, water skiing, wakeboarding, tow sports, and dock-to-dock shuttles to area restaurants and marinas - Private electric golf cart rental for getting around Star Harbor and playing Star Harbor's public 9-hole golf course. Green fees are separate.
Pricing and availability provided upon inquiry. Advance reservations are recommended to guarantee the captain's availability.

From the very start of our stay to the moment we left, Bayside on Cedar Creek exceeded the expectations of our entire family in every way.This was our first time staying in the Star Harbor community and have to say, it’s a hidden oasis on Cedar Creek Lake! It’s a quiet and quaint community with a 9 hole golf course onsite. We took full advantage of golf cart outings nightly to catch the breathtaking sunsets and pics of deer nearby. The house itself is right on the water with an incredible pool; which was the highlight and where we spent the majority of time during the day. The game room was a huge hit for the kids at night, especially the shuffleboard and ping pong tables!Our host, Mark, was incredible. He was attentive, present and he truly went out of his way to make sure we had a fantastic stay. We enjoyed our stay so much we’ll be booking again soon!
