Cousins & Family Labor Day Weekend 2024
We had the best time ever! The house was just as described, there is everything you need to make your vacation perfect. I love to cook & grill for everyone and there are all the tools there to do that. Less the crock pot, but we checked with the owner & brought our own. We mainly hung put on the huge porch and talked. Do keep in mind, if you like watching tv on vacation, there are only 2, one in the living area & 1 in the master. Overall, it has been one of our best trips! We are already taking about staying here again. The owners were very responsive to any questions we had! Neighbor was friendly! And the view of the lake is amazing!!!! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us. wechecked with the owner & brought arown.

Perfect little getaway from the colors in the bathrooms to the perfect view from the porch. We enjoyed this family short vacation. Caught some fish and a buzz lol. We took advantage of making some smores under the stars with the sound of the lake. Perfect!

Great little get-a-way
We don't live far, but wanted to be right on the water for the 4th, it was a great stay. The house was clean and had everything we needed, and more. The host was very easy to contact and the weather was great. The boat launch is very close, and although the water was too low (and there was a electrical pipe in the water by the dock that had come loose) and we were not able to tie our boat up, it was still very east to use the public dock/boat launch. Besides putting the boat in the water we never left the house, spending out evenings watching the fireworks around the lake, thanks!

We loved our stay on this home. Laura was very quick to respond to our questions and the communication was easy. We loved the home and our favorite place was the porch seeing and hearing the water from the lake was so soothing. We spent time on the swim dock for fishing and watching the ducks. We loved it

Excellent view, excellent stay
This house was so thoughtfully setup for hosting my family. Plenty of seating inside and outside so we could all hang out, fenced in yard so no unexpected 'visitors'. Also the kitchen had every single thing we needed to make all of our meals. Plenty of fans to cool down the house and the beds were absolutely awesome! We will definitely be staying here again.

Wonderful Experience
Came to the area to see the solar eclipse, and decided to stay at this property on Cedar Creek Lake. The house was a perfect fit for the four of us adults and two small dogs. The big back porch has an amazing lake view, and the location—only an hour from Dallas—enabled us to enjoy lake life and go into town when we wanted to. The house was clean and comfortable, and the host made sure our experience was memorable. A great stay!

Wonderful stay
We really enjoyed our stay. The view was great and even though it was a little chilly we spent a lot of time on the deck looking at the lake. We also had a few nights outside around the firepit looking at the stars. The wife loved the kitchen as we were there during the week of Thanksgiving. It really was a great place to spend our holiday.

Peaceful an Relaxing
This is a lovely house on Cedar Creek Lake. Very airy and bright with tasteful decor throughout. It is extremely well equipped with lots of extras available. Expansive covered porch with lots of seating available for sitting and enjoying the view of the lake with a coffee or glass of wine. The bird life is in abundance for those who enjoy them. (The sighting of a Bald Eagle made my holiday). The fenced yard was perfect to keep our dogs safe and confined. Our host Laura has thought of everything and was very attentive and answered any questions very quickly.

Family friendly lakeside stay
We had an amazing stay at this lake house. The house was very clean. The living area was perfect for our large family and the kitchen was well stocked. We loved drinking our coffee on the porch and enjoying the lake. The water level was quite low, but it made it so we had a beach area. The fenced in yard was perfect for our dog. The owner was very responsive to all communication.

Perfect Family Vacation Spot!
We had such a great time at this beautiful home, and Laura the host made getting there and checking in so easy. This was our first family vacation with a toddler and a baby, we went with our parents also and it was just enough space for everyone and had a great cozy feel. The back porch is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view!!! We were also able to fish right off the back gate, which my toddler loved and was a great bonus being right on the lake. Can’t wait to go back!!!

Relaxing Lake House
The house was what we expected from the VRBO details. The beds are HARD. Brookshire's is 6 minutes away and the boys in our group enjoyed the local donut shop, Chili's, and Mexican restaurant. The dock is maybe 6X6. My husband said he understood this from the pictures, I did not. Pulling water toys (kayaks, lilly pads, floats) up the stairs, onto the dock, and then to the grass after every use was ridiculous. Every other dock on the lake is huge in comparison and easy to lift things onto the dock for the next use. Very little space on the dock also made fishing from it tough. No anchors are provided either...make sure you have 1-2. They are essential! We enjoyed the stay. Resting on the covered porch and cooking lazy dinners. The fenced yard is a plus with dogs.
