Already occupied

We reserved and payed for this rental in 1/2023 in anticipation of the eclipse. We got the entrance code 3 days in advance of arrival. When we arrived at the property it was already occupied by someone else. Horrible, disappointing, stressful situation. We arranged another last minute, much more expensive VRBO rental on our own. A travel specialist denied VRBO paying us the difference in cost. I cam still very, very disappointed and angry. I will not be using VRBO in the future. No one has bothered to reach out to me

FUN TIMES on the LAKE

This property is set up for the ultimate family fun! Sand Volleyball court, fire pit, beach front bar, plus water toys. We really enjoyed sitting out on the porch in the evening play cards. Everything was well stocked! This place will be awesome during summer months!

It was an awesome set up, great house!

The place was not very clean, it says no animals allowed but there was dog/animal hair everywhere. The bathroom was flooded when we got there we had to dump a pan of water all weekend, but the outside set up made it totally worth it. I would rent this house again and refer my friends and family.

Great lake access!

We loved the “beach” entry to the lake and the kayaks! The house comfortably sleeps a large group but not the best for a large group that likes to cook or eat together, as there’s limited table seating indoors. Kitchen needs some supplies, including more utensils (enough forks for 10), measuring spoons, better knives, etc. Also the kitchen floor feels soft (water damage?) and needs repair.

Great rental!!

We had a wonderful time! The house is roomy, clean and comfortable! The theater chairs are great! The sandy beach area is perfect for the kids. Our family had the best time playing volleyball in the evenings while we cooked on the grill! The lake is shallow and deepens very gradually, even past the doc we could reach bottom. Very safe for the kids. The deck is roomy and screened on the sides. The paddle boat and kayaks were so much fun!

Great lake house

This was a wonderful lake house. We loved the kayaks available for use and the backyard! The kids had fun with the volleyball net and all the toys (balls, badmitton) available. The little tiki bar was cute. One of my kids sprayed it down and served me appetizers and drinks out there. So fun! The screening on the porch was pulled away due to a recent storm but it didn't matter - there were literally no mosquitos at Cedar Creek. It was nice and cool every morning out there. The evening sunsets are simply breathtaking. I would love to see the owner install blinds for the two lake facing bedrooms - would help with the late afternoon sun. However, we would stay here again in a heartbeat! They had toilet paper, soap, papertowels, coffee filters, salt, pepper and more available for use. That was so nice to not have to plan for basics. Great time at this house!

Was ok

Landlord did communicate well, but the AC did NOT work the entire weekend and was told a AC service tech would come but no one ever did. There were spiders everywhere, which not a horrible thing, but couldn't use the ping pong table, or the bar. The volleyball net was broken and the house smelled like mold. You get what you pay for. But the water was nice and so were the neighbors. You will have to rent your own boat or jet ski because the ones at the property looked like they haven't been in the water in years. Overall we had a good time, just wish the house was alittle cleaner and the AC wasn't broken the whole trip.

So relaxing.

Overall, the experience was great. We loved the beach and back patio. We tried to use the volleyball court but there were lots of thorns in the grass. Also the bathroom door knobs kept getting stuck and we would have to rescue people from the bathroom. The tiki bar was a nest of wasps so we left that alone. The beds were super comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Great little getaway.
