Cedar Creek Lake Home: Private Dock & Hot Tub

The mattress in the master bedroom had dip (sink) on one side and there were a lot of spider webs on the dock and could get the jets to work on the hot tub and stains on the carpet in master bedroom.

The house was clean, exactly as pictured. The host was super responsive when needed. The lake was low, so we were unable to use the boat slip, but that's no one's fault, just how it goes sometimes. We had an excellent relaxing stay! We would stay again.

We rated 4/5 for several reasons. I had to request info for check-in, as I did not receive an email or message regarding check-in, welcome message, or any communication from the host. The trash bin was full, and so was the basket where we were supposed to place bedding and towels (also, 1 basket for 4 bedding sets?) We had to check-out at 10:00, when every other place we’ve stayed is usually an 11:00 checkout, which is appreciated for a weekend getaway. We also did not receive check-out instructions via email or messenger, but we did find a binder with instructions. There was a charcoal grill and a gas grill on the property that weren’t on the listing, so we brought our own grill and griddle, but it would have been nice to not have to bring/use them. The temperature gauge on the hot tub seems to be broken, but we were sure glad it was there! The bed in the master bedroom was uneven/not comfortable. Overall we enjoyed the house and our stay, especially the screened in porch and fire pit; but a little communication and upkeep would have made it perfect!

Location was good and the house was OK, but there were a significant number of deficiencies that could best be summed up as maintenance items. IT is my hope that when the issues are handled, the property would be well worth the prices charged.

Giving this experience a 2 out of 5 overall. Pros: Good layout, roomy. Screened in back porch. Ample supplies. Cons: House & yard/tree overall not maintained well...trees over grown & couldn't see the lake from porch. Infested with mosquitos so can't enjoy dock or backyard. Backyard has big barn with trash piled next to it. Carpets stained with pet urine (see picture of example, all rooms stained badly). House reeked of mold/mildew. Screened in porch screen falling apart & dirty. Sectional dirty. Recliners broken. Batteries in some remotes were not working. King bed in primary was sunken on both sides (didn't sleep in other beds) & uncomfortable. Previous guests left trash outside (see picture of example) by dock & by grill area. I contacted owners 3hrs after arrival and David stated this was unacceptable and offered to have carpet cleaners come out during our short stay. I declined the offer as we only stayed a weekend and that would have been a big inconvenience to my husband and I. No other resolution other than sorry. We spent 1k for the weekend and not worth it for the experience. If your standards are low & don't care about what was mentioned then this place probably will not bother you.

We had a great women’s retreat. We had 9 women stay and it was very nice although not as clean as I would have liked. There was a cigarette butt in one bathroom when we arrived behind the door and the other had a big wad of hair behind it. The front door was covered in cobwebs. One of the showers had What appeared to be soap smeared all over the wall and curtain The ladies would not shower the whole time we were there. Upon leaving when we removed the pillowcases as requested one of the pillows had a brown stain on it. All that said, there were no bugs or anything inside and we felt safe. We even talked to neighbors as we walked in the afternoon. It was a very nice and peaceful setting. No wash clothes were provided for the bathroom or the kitchen. It was decorated very cute and was comfortable. They did work with us on a late check out. Overall I would rate it an 80 to 90 % which is quite good in my opinion. Despite these few issues, we enjoyed our time here and I would return.

We stayed Dec 27-Dec 30, 2024 and everything was almost perfect. We had no problems with the inside of the house or with getting in. There are no instructions for the TV's and all of the remotes are in a bowl on the living room table. We fiddled with the living room TV till we found the apps and logged in to our Netflix and YouTubeTV accounts (be sure to log out before you leave!) We were very excited about having the screened in back porch but it was extremely dirty and the floor was covered in leaves when we got there. It rained the first day and a half we were there, but was nice later. The back porch was not usable :( We did have our dog but couldn't let him out back by himself because there is a pile of metal, wires and junk in the backyard behind the barn/out building. The hot tub was wonderful but trust me, you don't want to set the temp above 94 degrees. You will scald yourself...been there, done that!

House was set up nice for 4 couples. Great hot tub and dock, even though the water was low while we were there. Quiet neighborhood.

Nice view of the cove. Had a great time with the family and pups.

It was a good property. It was nice that the house had a kayak that the kids could use. They spent a lot of time in the lake off the dock and in the hot tub. We really enjoyed it!

Overall the layout of the house is good for a group. It’s nice to have a boat dock and you are close to stores if you need anything.
