Great family vacation house

The house was perfect for our large group. Plenty of room for all, great kitchen, beautiful views of water, nice deck with great rocking chairs. The water was enjoyable, however, the bottom is all mud and that did deter some from swimming so we rented a boat. You might want to keep a broom and some wasp spray down at the dock. Many spider webs and lots of wasps. We knocked down the webs and bought wasp spray. The only other thing is that we never found a paddle boat. We saw it in the pictures and in The ad, but I assume it is no longer at the lake. All in all, I would definitely return for vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Pam Tolbert

My husband and I bought this lake house to enjoy with our family and friends. We decided to make it available to others, as we do not live there full time.

We want our property to be a place for making memories and enjoying a relaxing getaway. We hope that our renters will value the property, and treat it as if it were their home while visiting.

Why they chose this property

When we started looking for lake property, we viewed a lot of different locations on Cedar Creek Lake. When we drove into the driveway of this house, I remember thinking "this is it"! The view of the water and the layout of the property was exactly what we had been looking for.

We wanted to be in an area that was easily accessible from the DFW Metroplex and from the Houston area. Close enough to allow for a weekend visit, and far enough away to provide a break from the daily routine.

What makes this property unique

Our house is located on a quiet cove, perfect for water play with less boat traffic than other areas of the lake. The view across our cove is undisturbed nature, and provides the perfect backdrop for morning sunrises!
