Newly remodeled family friendly lakefront retreat

Completely remodeled in 2024-25. This 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom home offers comfort, space, and stunning views. Large great room with plenty of seating and fabulous kitchen! The Master Suite provides a private escape, while the Family Suite/Game Room features a queen Murphy bed, bunk beds, and a full bath, with Juliet balcony. Enjoy a wraparound deck, private dock, and fire table. Located 10 min from Trinidad, 20 minutes from Athens, and 30 min from Corsicana & Gun Barrel City. Book now for the perfect lake getaway! This retreat is equipped for both long or short stays to make your vacation one to remember.

New upgrades include new appliances, adding a new bathroom and mudroom/office area, in addition to remodeling the guest bathroom and master suite. The new HVAC and spray foam insulation make the house very comfortable.

Enjoy the outdoors right in the living room with the covered deck and full sliding doors with the lake right there. The view from the deck will take you down the cove and is just relaxing to take in the morning sun with some coffee or watch the fish as they jump out of the water.

We have rebuilt the dock. The original dock that was built with the house back in the 70's and was in need of a major improvements. The cover photo is looking down the cove from the top. Plenty of room to lounge have fun swim and fish.

We are located in the back part of a very quiet cove. The fishing is terrific even from the bank. You will see fish jumping most days.

The grocery stores near us are small and honestly a bit pricey. We typically will order Walmart delivery from the Walmart in Gun Barrel City. It is very convenient and we don't have to worry about stopping to get groceries on our way down or the next morning. Saves time and if you have Walmart+ you don't pay a delivery fee, just need to tip (remember we are 30 minutes from the Walmart)

There are 3 larger towns within 30 minutes of us. Gun Barrel City, Athens, and Corsicana. If you are looking for restaurants any of those will have what you are looking for and I will have a few of those for each town in the welcome book when you arrive.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
Make use of convenient amenities, which include an arcade/game room and barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Great family stay for the holiday weekend!

We came with our family of 6 for Memorial Day weekend, and the house was perfect! You can tell the newly renovated home was done well. We love Cedar Creek, and especially this quiet little cove full of families. My kids enjoyed the provided kayaks and also played several board games that were there! The appliances were new and very clean and useful! We were impressed with the spaciousness, as well as the welcoming feel in the home! And the communication was wonderful! You need to book this spot for a fun time away at the lake!
Stayed 3 nights in May 2025
