Girls trip that turned into a driving up to a piece of property that looked NOTHING like the pictures on VRBO. The photos you see on Vrbo look very inviting, bright colors and a fun safe place to stay. Trust me, it is NOTHING like you see in the pictures. The appearance of the property is very run down. The neighborhood does NOT look like a safe place for 6 women to stay alone. The phote of the address that popped up on my Google maps was more accurate for what we saw. Upon entering the property, the first thing we all noticed was the horrendous smell of the downstairs area. The bathroom that was located downstairs smelled like it had backed up sewer issues. The upstairs area didn't smell quite as bad, but the appearance was not inviting at all. The kitchen was not clean. The refrigerator temp. was not cool and we found a half drank 2 liter Dr. PEPPER in it. On the bar was a
half open box of brownies that we would have never touched not knowing where the came from. The dishwasher had a few dirty pieces of utensils left in it. We found 1 coffee filter for the entire weekend. The coffee pot area had ants crawling all around it. The host left 1 half empty container of Foldgers coffee for a weekend booking. The appearance of the kitchen sink was not clean. The bathroom off of the kitchen had some kind of plumbing issues. Also, neither of the bathrooms had any kind of soap where someone could wash their hands. The living room was disgustingly dirty.

Enjoyed our stay right in the water front. If you take your boat, the boat launch that is not far from the house will not allow you to turn around to launch your boat. Owner of the house was super helpful and very sweet! She called to make sure we made it ok and called the day we left to thank us for staying. House was a nice size for our 2 boys and their families to come visit every day while we there.

The property was not clean at all. The window above the kitchen sink was so dirty yoy were unable to see out. The doors and frame were extremely nasty, under the beds and couchs were inexcusable for being so dirty. We went to cook out Thanksgiving meal and the stove and oven was horrific. We spent hours cleaning the kitchen. The refrigerator did not cool so we had to use the one down stairs. The lau dry room was disgusting. The closets were unusable because they were filled with random items just thrown about inside it. The garbage can was half full so it left very little space for us to throw our trash. The outside garbage cans were never emptied, ashtrays were disgusting and had butts in them. I would NOT recommend staying in the spider web infested place. I reported the condition of the home to the owner, however she didnt reply until days later and all she did was make excuses for it. I WOULD NEVER RENT THIS PLACE EVER AGAIN.

This location was perfect for our group of friends to gather from across the state. We enjoyed every aspect of our visit and highly recommend this property to others looking to come out to Cedar Creek. The lake, house and atmosphere will not disappoint!

Great getaway. Swimming, fishing, kayaking, and games galore.

The reviews said "dirty", cobwebs and wasps. I was not prepared for what we arrived to. The bedding and linens were clean. However, we had to clean the a/c so it would work properly downstairs; the trash wasnt removed; there was so much "left-behind" stuff, (open food, dirty clothes). My grandboys found "unmentionables" in the breezeway cabinets while looking for outdoor toys. The kayak got much use, as did the grill and fire pit. Both of my grandsons have Cystic Fibrosis, so cleanliness is very important. We spent our first day cleaning with little cleaning tools. No working vacuum (there were 3), no broom and the mop was nasty! There were also local kids who use the yard as a pass thru, even after we closed the side entrance to the yard. We enjoyed our stay, but do not believe that we should be charged a cleaning fee when we arrived to such conditions and left the property cleaner than when we arrived. Lastly, the neighbor (owners son) had annoying little dogs who barked at the fence constantly whenever we were outside at the same time. I expected better for the $$.

It's a perfect lakefront house for a party or family vacation. You can find everything you need in the house. Highly recommended!

We had an outstanding time. Property owner was outstanding, and easy to communicate with when needed. Plenty of room for 8 adults and 2 teens. The interior of the house is exactly like described. The neighbor peer was no longer there, but the private dock did everything we needed. It was nice having a well-maintained lawn that we could walk around barefoot. The outdoor rec area could use a good spray down. The large smart TV was nice for a movie night to relax. Our family would love to stay here again.

It was not stated that the beach access was as difficult as it was and that it was muddy instead of sandy. We knew the water was going to be low, but not to this point and would have been better to just tell us. It seemed no one had been staying at house in sometime, so outdoor was dirty and dusty. This being said, we had three dogs with us and they had a blast so the things that might have bothered us did not. Great yard - huge house, we did not use the downstairs at all. Very friendly family, we did not need to ask for anything but felt we could if we needed to -

We had a great time! The other reviews were correct about it being the nicest house in the neighborhood, and the dogs, but it’s just the country. The lake was a little low but that was actually great for our kids! We had a blast floating and swimming. The layout of the house was cool, pics don’t do that justice, the upstairs living area was so nice. We were very happy the porch was partially screened in upstairs, that made a big difference because there are a ton of bugs and spiders. The cobwebs could have used a little more cleaning, but overall, we had an awesome weekend. The house was fully stocked, and we used the smoker which was great. Lots of games and activities made this a great family weekend!! The host was super nice and easy going, her son apparently lives across the road, but he kept to himself so no biggie. All in all, if you don’t mind the country, this is an awesome lakehouse!

The house was as it looks in the photos. It was a little dirty, as in nothing had been wiped down outside and nothing had been dusted inside for quite some time. The linens seemed clean and the house is very spacious. I went for the weekend and we had a great time. I would stay here again.

Quick , easy, painless rental process. My aunt and cousins as well as for my grand daughter had a great family weekend.

The owner was super friendly and helpful. You're right on the lake with pretty lake views and a basic dock. House has plenty of room. Nice backyard area.
The neighborhood is mostly trailers and run down older homes. There are a lot of dogs roaming free and some fenced, and they like to talk to each other and settle frequent disputes. The roads into the place are rough. The boat ramp nearest is really for small boats. There is a decent public ramp about 10 minutes away. The water around the dock was really too shallow for a boat when we were there.

Overall, we had a good stay. As other reviews have said, the pictures are outdated. The pier with the swings is gated off due to it falling apart., but there is a new pier, just no cover or swing/hammock. The neighborhood is not ideal, many dilapidated structures. The rental itself is the best-looking house on the block. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. We made use of the ping pong table, darts, and firepit. The sectional in the living room is huge, two people could easily sleep on it. The roads are full of potholes, so be cautious.

Our family had a great time on the lake! The house was great and had a lot to keep our teens entertained. The pictures were a little out dated. You can not get to the swing on the dock, but there were two kayaks on the property that we were able to use which were awesome! Would definitely return. :)

Driving in the neighborhood looked a little rough. Then you get to the house and it's well maintained, huge yard leading out to the lake and the property dock. It has a fire pit, picnic table, multiple tables and chairs and out door bar under the covered patio with ping pong table, dart board, even a deck box full of blow up floats! the smoker/grill was in great shape, even though someone had used it incorrectly and built a fire to BBQ inside the smoker box!, inside the downstairs area had a great wet bar with full fridge, poker table, and lots of games for the whole family. Upstairs the was a VERY well stocked kitchen with all the pots, pans, and utensils we could need. The beds were as described and there was ample space for everyone to spread out and do their own thing, or for the entire family of 10 to gather together and share a meal. The lake itself was clear water and cool temps with a sand bottom off the dock for safe swimming for the kids. This is NOT the Ritz Hotel, this is a great space for a family or small group to have a great relaxing lake stay! We will come back again!
