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.

Accommodations were great with plenty of room to spread out. Yard space was nice and the dock provided a great time on the water with swimming and lots of catfish. Hope to come back.

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!
