Island Park Cottage is a large and private property with a cozy open concept 2-bedroom home located on the lake in Gun Barrel City. Perfect for a family getaway or a small group of friends, you will have direct access from the backyard to the lake (SEE NOTE BELOW REGARDING THE LAKE LEVEL) for less than most other waterfront homes on the lake. Only an hour away Dallas, Cedar Creek Lake combined with Island Park Cottage is the perfect destination for those looking to escape the city life for afew days.
Located in a quiet neighborhood in Gun Barrel City, you can take a walk or ride a bike through the neighborhood. You have access to the Walmart and Brookshires Grocery store within a few minutes' drive. Visit the multiple local restaurants or choose to eat at home on the water.

THE LAKE LEVEL CAN VARY AT ANY GIVEN TIME DURING THE YEAR. We recommend you inquire about the lake level if this is an important part of your visit to the lake BEFORE YOU BOOK. The current level is: VERY LOW, and we have very little water in the channel we sit in currently.

    The house is very cozy and the sunroom is a big bonus. I also loved the big back yard that leads to the lake. Very nice place to stay.

    Courtney has put a great deal of though into making your stay relaxing, comfortable and stocked with essentials. It’s very clean and spacious with very comfortable sofas, chairs, and beds! The kitchen has all the essentials you’ll need, including lots of spices. It has a great view of the lake tributary from the patio deck outside or from the sunroom that runs the full length of the back of the house. Large trees to enjoy the shade. We enjoyed kayaking, and used the paddle board. The corn hole pad they’ve got is great fun too! Lights for outside ambience at night. We didn’t use the fire pit but it’s a great added feature. Great area to walk or bike the streets and enjoy the neighborhood. Courtney checks in to make everything is okay and was quick to respond when one set of lights didn’t work due to power outage. It was an easy fix. Loved our stay and we’ll be back.

    We absolutely loved this property. Grew up in the same neighborhood and lived there for years. This is one of the best VRBO I have ever stayed in. The host was wonderful to work with. I HIGHLY recommend.
