Lakefront Retreat with Dock & Guest House

Lakefront getaway on Cedar Creek Lake with sweeping water views and private access. The main home offers 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, with a detached guest cottage that has its own full bath. Lounge on the spacious deck, fish from the dock, or take a quick boat ride up the channel to open water using your private slip. Large backyard for all the fun lake activities. Perfect for families, couples, or friends who want comfort, space, and direct access to the lake.


The main home features 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, an open-concept living room with comfortable seating, a dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen with appliances, cookware, and essentials for preparing meals. Large windows and sliding doors open to a spacious deck with outdoor seating and dining space, overlooking the water.

The separate guest cottage offers its own private entry, full bathroom, A/C, TV, and open sleeping/living area with a trundle bed that sleeps 2 - ideal for additional family, friends, or teens who want a little independence.

Outside, enjoy direct lake access with a private dock, boat slip, and 175ft of lake front. Guests often fish right off the dock or take a quick ride up the channel to open water for boating, skiing, and tubing. The huge yard has plenty of room for outdoor activities, and there’s ample parking for multiple vehicles, trailers, and a fully covered RV spot with hookups.
