Unfortunately we went in October so the water was very low and could not fish. Area nice neighbors.
Clean, communication with Angela was great. Water low so that stunk couldn't fish. Nice deck. House very nice. Plenty of room for my brother and I. My dog had fun playing in water though could have used an outside hose to wash her after playing in water all in all nice experience. Beautiful view.

Waterfront Cottage
We enjoyed our stay. The cottage was clean & the provided cake on arrival was a nice touch. Property management was very accessible & attentive to our needs. The water is quite shallow at the dock or even 100 yards out. In August that means very warm water chasing most fish out to cooler water & making for bath water swimming that was still fun with the kids. The backyard had been mowed, but the front, waterline, & around the house would have been greatly enhanced with about 20-30 minutes of weed eating. All in all still a very pleasant weekend break!

Nice Property
The place was well kept and clean. It is right near the water. Fire pit, BBQ grills are all there. Road is a little bumpy leading to the home, so just drive slow. I wish the weather wasn't so rainy, but all in all a nice stay. It is definitely worth staying.

Excellent weekend
It was my birthday weekend and I wanted peace and quiet. Location is exactly what is listed. We were the first to fish on the new dock. Everything you would need at a weekend home, was available to us. We did not have to go buy all the extra toilet paper, towels, etc. like most properties ask. We played games, sat by the fire. Beds were comfy. The owner was always available, and even checked on us a few times. Would 10/10 recommend.

Nice option for a short getaway from the city
We were attracted to this property because if its short drive from Dallas and the beautiful outdoor areas. We had a small issue at arrival and the owner was responsive and very helpful. The deck was spacious and we loved that the fire pit was near the water. This was our first trip to Cedar Creek Lake and recommend it to anyone wanting to let go of the city noise and traffic.

Relaxing stay at the lake
Relaxing stay at the lake! We loved the back deck, the screened in porch, the waterside fire pit, and the paddleboat! We came with a toddler who had a ton of fun on the pebbly/sandy waterfront. It’s nice and shallow, so we were able to safely enjoy splashing around the lake. Location is a quiet cove in a neighborhood with other single wide homes. We loved the neighborhood cat and the beautiful oak trees that shaded the property.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. The facilities are clean and the owner is incredibly helpful. Lots to do that’s close by. We enjoyed going to the lakeside restaurants and just sitting on the deck or fishing on the shore. The property is located in a country environment and super quiet and private. Everything you need is in the cabin. We would come again thank you for an enjoyable stay.

Lake Cottage
My family and I really had a great time staying here for the week. It was very clean and cozy. Lots of little extras that made our stay even more enjoyable. We loved setting on the back deck around the fire pit. We loved eating out on the screen porch. The lake was just perfect for the kids swimming. And we had a good time sitting around the fire pit out by the lake at night. We hope to come back.

Overall, we loved our stay. The home was turned into a lovely little beach-themed cottage. The views were nice. The balcony is amazing. There is a wonderful little fire pit outside right next to the lake. The owners were very nice and willing to accommodate our needs.
