About this property

##OPEN WATER## Boat lift-Swim area-Sunset-Tan deck

This lake vacation was meant to be enjoyed around the beautiful fire pit and huge plush yard. Huge covered porch with ceiling fans is a enjoyable way to spend a relaxing morning drinking coffee watching the birds on the lake. The plush grass yard is the perfect area to grill or experience the beautiful lake view. The swimming area next to the dock has a rare sandy bottom that is ideal for playing in the lake. Large trees surrounding the property provide cool shade for the grassy St Augustine lawn. In the evenings relax around the fire pit that is ideal for roasting marshmallows. If that wasn't enough, the property also has a boat house with a swim deck for fishing and sun bathing on the lake. Bring your boat and conveniently use the boat house to keep your boat safe when not in use. The neighborhood also has a convenient private boat ramp, a short walk away from the property.

Custom Built Home, located in Indian Harbor, this Paradise is perfect for a relaxing getaway. You will love the Panoramic views of the Open water. All bedrooms have a lake view and the loft view is amazing. The front porch is inviting and covered with a nest hello door bell.

A large covered deck with ceiling fans, surround sound speakers, and seating for 12 provides a comfortable space for dining, grilling, relaxing, and watching the sun set.

This vacation home is fully furnished and can accommodate 12 people (8 adults, 4 kids) comfortably. There are 3 bedrooms, a loft, 2.5 bathrooms and a laundry room. The large kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, including all necessities for cooking. The master bedroom, which opens to the deck, has a king size bed, the second and third bedrooms have queen size beds. The futon makes into a small full size bed, there are two twin mattresses on a trundle bed and a twin bed in the loft. A queen size air mattress can be put out for larger groups. Enjoy the wood burning fireplace on cool nights as you look out the expansive walls of glass onto the lake from the living room.

An easy hour's drive from downtown Dallas and just south of Gun Barrel City, the house is conveniently located close to shopping and restaurants. Canton's First Monday Trade Days (Held on the weekend prior to the first Monday of every month) is only a 30 minute drive and filled with fantastic flea market finds. Plenty to do nearby and a lake view that never gets old... Come experience paradise at Cedar Creek Lake. It's hard to go home!

Great place on the lake! My family enjoyed a great weekend on this property. Home is absolutely beautiful and clean! Loved the large kitchen and plenty of room for our party of 12. Excellent location on the lake. Perfect floating and swimming spot by the dock. My husband especially appreciated the use of the boat lift…this is a perk of this property is you are bringing your own boat!Definitely recommend this home and would stay here again!

Annual Lake Vacation

We stayed for 7 days and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. The house, the dock, the view. The stores were super close which was super convenient when you dont want to leave the house. Chris was fantastic. He fixed any issue that arose super fast and kindly. He is very responsive and helpful. I love that its pet friendly. We go to the lake every year and this is our favorite house so far. The kids had a blast. Thanks for the memories :)

Great Lake House

This is a really nice lake house big enough for our family of 6. Everyone had a great time sitting around the outside fire pit and fishing off the dock. The kitchen is nice and fully stocked with everything you would need to cook. Loved the master suite was downstairs and the rest of the bedrooms were upstairs. Overall a great place to relax and fish.

State Bowling Getaway

We had a great time on our state tournament weekend. The house was beautiful! 4 couples shared it and there was plenty of space for everyone. The layout is fantastic. Even when cooking breakfast and dinner several of us were in the kitchen at once and we were not in each other's way. The view is gorgeous and we had fun fishing at the dock. Definitely would recommend this house for a getaway with a bigger family or a few friends.
