Family weekend on the lake
So much to do at the house that you never need to leave. The kids wanted to stay outside the whole time either fishing or playing on the water (rope swing, lake mat, kayaks). The house has everything you can think of. The hosts were super friendly checking in to make sure we were enjoying our stay which of course we were. The location on the lake and the dock were perfect.

Mom Getaway
We had the most fun at this beautiful house! It’s the perfect place for an active group. We celebrated our friend’s 40th with the best views, late night talks on the lit up top deck, kayaking and paddle board excursions, sunbathing on the lily pad and grilling out. I would recommend this home to any group of friends or family looking to make the most of a lake vacation.

BOOK IT NOW
The owners of this property are amazing to work with. This home was very cozy and clean. The beds were very comfortable with such soft sheets! Everything that was needed was at the house. They had coffee, trash bags, foil, grill with propane, baggies. AC is very cold and works great. The back porch has seating where we enjoyed our morning coffee. The dock was amazing and a fun highlight everyday. It included lots of fun water toys! I would definitely stay here again!!

Wonderful
This was by far one of the best rentals we have been to. My family absolutely enjoyed the dock and the water toys. They caught so many fish, it was great to see my kids wake up early (4-5am) and head out for more fishing.

Great location, perfect weekend!
We were so happy to find a nice, lakefront property to stay for July 4th weekend! This is a newly renovated property, was comfortable and had really everything we needed. Sharon and Andy were extremely responsive and made ours a great stay! Neighbors are super friendly, which was an added bonus. Definitely recommend. Thank you!

Family time at the lake
This was a great place for our family get together. The dock offered a place to fish and more importantly to spend time in or on the water. The house had a large kitchen area and the dinning area held the entire family. Pathing was the only problem. For large groups 4 parking spots is not adequate.

Cedar Creek Reservoir
Really nifty lakefront property in Gun Barrel City. The dock and kayaks are great for relaxing along the shore. Fishing is almost too easy from the dock. Sunsets are beautiful here, every clear evening was spectacular. Fun for bird watching also, our teen naturalist enjoyed watching the eagles daily. Nice kitchen and easy trips for groceries if you like to cook. Host is very helpful, easy check in and out.

We had a great family vacation and made lots of memories. The house is very clean and fully equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. The water toys were great and the dock is amazing. The kids especially enjoyed the rope swing. The home location is very convenient to town. The owners are quick to answer any questions. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Lake House!
Cedar Creek never disappoints! This house is exactly as represented on the website….very comfortable beds, indoor games and even ping pong table set up in carport! Outdoor activities include kayaks, paddle boards, and everyone’s favorite, lily pad. The dock has a rope swing, and stairs to enter the water. It is well lit for nighttime fishing. We had a great time and thank our hosts for being very attentive. We plan to return and do a repeat!!

Great lake house!
This is one of the best lake houses we have stayed in. Great location and the views of the lake are amazing! The boat ramp is close, which is definitely a plus! The house was very clean, well stocked and spacious. Thank you for having the lily pad, paddle boards and other lake equipment available for us to use! The kids enjoyed it all! The dock is great!! We fished off the dock and caught catfish. We truly had an amazing and relaxing time at this house!

Wonderfully Welcoming
One of the best experiences renting a VRBO vacation home. The house was well stocked with everything from coffee and creamer to lots of sheets, towels, blankets and pillows. The beds were very comfortable and there were plenty for our large group. The outdoor areas were nice and the new pier was great to watch the beautiful sunset over the water. The hosts were friendly and concerned that we had a good stay at their home. We picked this place to stay for visiting Canton Trade Days and it was an easy 30 minute drive. After a long day in Canton, we enjoyed the fast internet and high quality televisions to watch movies. We really enjoyed staying at this house and would definitely stay here again.

Quiet lake, pretty view, fun times!
We booked this rental for a last minute trip with our teens. Our goals were to be close to the DFW area, on the water with easy access to our jet ski, a comfortable house for all 5 of us, with enough to do to keep us busy. This property had 2 kayaks, 2 paddle boards, a huge lily pad, and a cornhole set; all were great for our family. This rental includes lots to do. I didn’t want to have to go elsewhere to rent kayaks, etc, so this played a big part in our booking. The dining room faces a bank of windows so you can easily watch from the patio or dining room if kids are playing on the lake. Cedar Creek is mostly a commuter lake so our stay over into weekdays left us with almost no one else on the water; big pro. The boat ramp is close by; another pro. We rented a boat one day and it was only about a 20 minute drive to that. The house worked well for all of us; we could have slept at least 3 more people easily. The living room is super cozy and the dining room is perfect for games. The seating area could use a few more soft chairs tucked into corners for movie watching; 5 folks was the perfect amount to be on the couches as it was so we were good. There isn’t much to the neighborhood and town which we already knew. (The Walmart is super close so easy to pick up groceries on the way in.) Book here for fun times on the lake with family or friends, not for heading in to town.

Well stocked house
There was ample room for our large family gathering (12). The house accommodated us well and we didn't feel cramped at all. The lake was beautiful, and we had it to ourselves most of the time. Great for distancing. The house came with many extras you don't usually see: coffee pods, diswasher tabs, laundry tabs, beach towels, soap, shampoo, paper towels, trash bags, even beach towels.....A really nice touch. The beds were comfy, with tons of extra blankets, pillows.... The kitchen was well stocked and we were able to easily prepare and all in the the house. The real surprise was the amount of toys in the shed. The lily pad was the kids favorite. In addition, there are kayaks, stand-up boards, floats. I was amazed to see someone who understands what hospitality really means. The owners more than accommodate every need, everything was clean, and the bedding and towels looked brand new. We watched beautiful sunsets, most of the kids caught a catfish, and enjoyed the water all day long. This was a break we really needed from remodeling after the winter freeze flooded my daughter's home. The only thing I would suggest to improve would be a shade canopy by the lake, fly control, and a better way to get out of the water. It was quite deep for the younger kids (ages 12, 11, 10, 8, 7) and they scraped themselves up trying to get out on the cement, which they preferred as the bottom step on the dock ladder was too high for them. These are small things compared to the condition of the house and amenities provided. We really enjoyed our stay and would come back again.

Great place to stay and fish!
This is a great home right on the lake! My family really enjoyed the place! Home is super clean with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Our favorite part was the fishing. We caught tons of catfish and some white bass everyday! At night you can see the alligator gar swimming under the light. We really enjoyed it and even caught one on our last night with the help of a friendly neighbor. Lots of fun toys to enjoy the lake ans well. Owners are great to work with and quick to respond to any message. I would highly recommend this place!

Beautiful Lake House
We come to Texas every summer to spend time with our family. We rented this home for the convenience of the lake. It was perfect, the provided lake games and floaties were perfect for all day entertainment. The dock was amazing and made it easy for our family to bring their boats over for the weekend. The owners had great communication which made the stay even better. 5 star.
