Perfect Place for our Family Vacay

Our family has stayed at several VRBOs on Cedar creek.We have finally found our favorite...perfect location on a quiet cove. our grandchildren range in age from 17 to 24 and the bunkroom was perfect for them. We found everything we needed in the kitchen...all of it labeled. Plenty of storage for food and extras we brought in the laundryroom. Two refrigerators were very helpful. We enjoyed the deck during the day and at night. We caught lots of fish right off the dock. The paddleboards and kayaks were used alot. We enjoyed meeting the great neighbors and their pups. Great times and memories were had by all. We will definitely be back. Thank you April for your hospitality.

Never again

HIGH dollar 4 night stay at a sub par rental. No cleaning supplies, worn out furniture, lights don’t work and half of the bulbs burned out, Wi-Fi is trash, lady who runs it is in for quick cash grab. States a pet fee, she charged me double that. Place stays 16 I guess she doesn’t realize that people travelling from all over can’t carpool. She is trying to charge me for damage to the grass that was already there and claiming we damaged the neighbors septic. Yeah right. Cash grab. I’ve stayed in over 50 rentals over the last 10 years and I’ve never had a problem, not one. Never again.

Perfect Family Getaway!

We celebrated my mom's 75th birthday here and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house is clean, comfy, and spacious. We had more than enough space for 6 adults and 5 kids. The bunk room is such a perfect addition and we stayed in that space with our littles. We cooked all of our meals, so we were thrilled that there was adequate space to keep our food- 3 fridges and shelving in the utility room. The yard and boat dock/deck were perfect for hanging out, swimming, and fishing. We loved being able to use the stand-up paddle boards and kayak, too! Lonestar Marina is close-by, so we were able to easily rent a boat for part of our stay. We loved that this house is tucked into a cove, so boat traffic was minimal and it was a quiet spot. The neighbors were also really sweet and helpful, but we also had zero issues hearing from the owner/manager whenever we had questions. Response time was really quick. We made some great memories at this lake house and would definitely rent it again!

Beautiful peaceful retreat

This lake house was the perfect setting for our small family reunion with my husband’s mom and brother’s family to celebrate Christmas. The kids fished from the dock, we enjoyed the fire pit and tree swing, and had an overall relaxing stay. Everything we could need to prepare family meals was there. The house is beautifully furnished, comfortable, and in a quiet peaceful setting. Huge backyard backing right up to the lake. We hope to plan a summer visit as well and rent a boat or bring some kayaks.

Beautiful property and beautiful lake!!

We really enjoyed staying at this Lakefront property it was exactly as pictured and described. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen was very well stocked and organized. The only reason for less than 5 stars was that the grill was unusable and unsafe and unfortunately we had planned three dinners for using the grill! Oh well we improvised and it was fine. But given the condition of the connections and starter it is not safe and should be replaced for others after us. Otherwise we had a great time and had lots of fun kayaking with our family.

About the host

Hosted by April Bell

We were so thrilled to find this beautiful, almost 1-acre home a little over an hour southeast of Dallas. It has brought our family and friends great joy and a place for retreat, rest and restoration. The large back yard, quiet cove and peaceful dock creates year round restoration. We are excited to share it with others on weekends we can't be here!

Why they chose this property

We looked at lots and lots of homes on this lake (and others) before buying. We wanted a quiet cove where kids could jump in and play without us worrying about open water. We love the large backyard and many trees, which offers fun play and plenty of shade! Lastly, the previous owner did an amazing job renovating, including a stone fireplace which we love in the winter and a 200 sq ft covered backyard with fire pit that is used year round.

What makes this property unique

~.75 acre open backyard - FENCE HAS BEEN REMOVED to improve view and foster community in the neighborhood
private, quiet cove with fishing and kids water sports off the dock
beautifully renovated in 2008 and new garage bunkroom in 2022
lots of trees in front and back yard, providing lots of beauty and shade
quiet cul-de-sac with little traffic- perfect for strolls, bike riding
