The house was great we truly enjoyed ourselves! The only issues were wasp under the deck and out by the game room, and there was snakes out on the ladder of the pier so needless to say we did not get in the water.Pam was amazing and the house was great. We truly enjoyed ourselves!

I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay! I'm sorry about the wasps. Those little pests are hard to control. As for the snakes on the dock ladder, once the lake fills up, we do not usually see any snakes around our area of the cove. I hope you will tell all your friends about our lake house and will come visit again soon! Pam

Wonderful, peaceful location with plenty of room and comfortable beds for all.

Loved this property for our girls' getaway weekend! Owners provided plenty of outdoor seating to take advantage of spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Large kitchen accommodated several cooks at a time, and the numerous bedrooms gave each of us our own sleeping space. We had a wonderful time!

A great BIG house!

We really enjoyed our stay at Tranquility Cove. There was room for everyone and the view of the lake is beautiful. There was plenty of space outdoors and indoors for our big family and we made some great memories. The house stayed cool, the yard was big and shady, and the dock was fun.

Family vacation

Had a great time and enjoyed our stay immensely. Although the lake level was low due to this year’s drought, our grandkids had a great time utilizing the property’s paddle boat, kayak and game room. The family corn hole and pool tournaments were a blast. Very quite area on the lake and definitely recommend.

A great family outing

We had 12 family members from Texas, Ohio and Louisiana meet at this location for some rest and relaxation with lots of fishing. The home is beautiful and the location was perfect. The only issue we had was the place was not very clean. We did not bother the owners and just cleaned it ourselves.

Best lake house for a big family getaway

I highly recommend this house for a family gathering with all ages, from 4 - 86! My mom (86) even swam for the first time in years because it was so easy to get to the dock and in and out of the water. And we had the joy of being there for the July 4th holiday and the fireworks were fantastic!

30th Birthday Weekend

My family and friends stayed at the property to celebrate my 30th birthday. Everyone had an absolute blast and raved about the location and amenities. We spent almost the entire time on the deck soaking up the perfect weather, paddle boating, or playing a few games of corn hole. The location and surroundings were so peaceful. We are looking forward to planning another trip back.

Great spot for boaters

Having your own boat ramp is an such a huge convenience. This house it made to be enjoyed on the back deck, or on the boat dock, or by the campfire. The interior of the house is not as big as it seems, but it slept 10 of us just fine, and we had plenty of places to sit inside or outside to eat.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at our property! You are right, the private boat ramp is a great convenience!! We're so happy you were able to take advantage of this unique feature. I'm a little surprised that you felt the interior of the house lacked space. We have 11 beds that sleep 16 people in 6 bedrooms (including the separate Guest House). I hope you will keep us in mind for your next visit to Cedar Creek Lake! Pam
