My family and my best friend and her family stayed here for my daughters wedding. It was plenty large enough to host all of us plus gave me and my best friend plenty of space to bake her wedding cake and grooms cupcakes while still being apart of the conversations within the main living area. Had everything that we needed and was a great weekend.
The pictures did not do the property justice. It was far better than displayed..
Summarizing the high quality of our experience is difficult. I'll start with the responsiveness and assistance of our hosts. Over the top. Always answered whenever we called or texted with questions. We are a family of 11 ranging in age from 8 to 68. Everyone was impressed. My wife is so particular about cleanliness. She was delighted. The rooms were all so comfortable and well appointed. There is no feature forgotten. The lake view is spectacular from inside, on the porch or on top of the amazing deck. Are you into electronics - this place has got it. Massive TV in the great room as well as every bedroom in the house. Are you bringing a boat like we did - perfect spot. The private dock is large and supported our boat well. This place was a great place to swim in the lake and feel sheltered. If you want to cook, all the utensils are there - better than what we have at home. If you need 5 bedrooms, look no further. This place is perfect. We'll be back.
The house is exactly how it is described in the listing. The pictures are very accurate. The beds are comfortable with nice sheets and plenty of pillows. They supplied plenty of paper towells, toilet paper, shampoo, creme rinse, body soap, hand soap, dishwashing soap, and trash bags. The kitchen was well supplied with everything you needed. The pots and pans were the best we have seen at any property we have rented. There was plenty of room at the 2 nice size tables for all of the family. The house was very nicely decorated. The dock was awesome. We were able to use the whips to tie up our boat. They had plenty of shade with tables and chairs on the deck. The adults and kids loved the swing from the 2nd level deck. The fish cleaning station was fantastic! We caught plenty of fish from our boat but the kids used worms and caught catfish from the bank and pier. We had a wonderful, relaxing week. Cary-Elisa was an awesome communicator and left a gift basket for us.
Great house. Very hospitable host! Look guests to coming back!
The house was so clean when we got there. It is a beautiful home and it is so comfortable and welcoming we didn't even care when our Fishing trip got canceled...it just meant we could spend more time in house. Everything about the house is well thought out.. We had everything we needed to just relax on Lake time
What a surprising gem in this TX neighborhood - A beautiful home on the water and a perfect place for my family to stay while attending my niece's wedding at Margot Hill. I was blown away at the view and the rooms were like staying in a 5 star hotel. Would recommend this place to anyone!
very well stocked, beautiful lake views, comfortable beds, roomy, everything we needed to make our stay great. would definitely consider it again.
This was our second stay at this stunning home on Cedar Creek. We have stayed at several properties on CC lake, but this one is by far the best. It is all in the details! The house is so warm and welcoming and completely stocked with everything you would need to enjoy your stay! Forgot something?! No problem—they most likely have it! The bedrooms are spacious, and the living room has plenty of space for the 8 adults during our stay. The guys enjoyed watching football with the surround sound, and playing pool in the game room. The outside deck is perfect for sitting out in the morning and during sunset. The newest addition for this year’s stay is the fire pit in the backyard! It is top notch! It is perfectly placed with a view of the huge Texas sky. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. We would love to return, yet again, and we believe you will too! Just book it—you won’t regret it!
This property was stunning!! There are so many positives I don’t know where to start. We traveled with family and two small girls. We loved having coffee and relaxing on the back porch and screened porch. We fished from the dock every day and had s’mores at the fire pit after sunset. Everyone loved the property. Check in and out was a breeze and we will all definitely return!
I still miss that tremendous view out the living room windows! The grounds and the house are immaculate, inviting, comfortable and tastefully appointed in a great neighborhood. The living areas are open and with 3 adult couples, we had plenty of space. We spent as much time outside as we did inside. Absolutely lacked nothing for a completely wonderful stay. The owner communicated with us before, during and after our visit to ensure our arrival was seamless and that we were comfortable. Husband really enjoyed the welcome basket!! Men loved watching football on that huge TV and living area. Loved the Williams Sonoma hand soaps. Grilled out 3 nights...amazing grill! The master bed was firm, which is to our liking. We've stayed at many properties on this lake, but this was the most peaceful, enjoyable and comfortable experience ever. Highly recommend this property.
We spent 4 days with our family at this beautiful home! The owners have stocked this home with everything you will need and more. Home is beautifully decorated and we loved the king beds in 3 bedrooms- very comfy! The view from the deck is absolutely beautiful. It’s the perfect location on the lake. Even with the lake level down - we still had a great time in our boat. Lots of catfish were caught right off of the dock and it was a great place for seeing the International Space Station as it passed by one evening. Communication with the owners was great! Hoping to come back next summer!!
This lakehouse is magnificent! The owners have beautifully decorated this home. So many special touches throughout - and stocked with everything would could need and more! The adults loved that their rooms had king beds that were so comfy!! The view from the great room, back deck and boat dock were awesome! The lake is low but that did not keep us from getting our boats outs and having a great time on the water. Plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the view. The communication with owners during our stay was great. There was not one thing that we did not like about this house. It was perfect for our family and was a memory making trip for sure. We hope to be able to come back!!
Our family made Memories here. This home has everything you want or need with a million dollar view! We didn’t want to leave. Thank you so much for the hospitality!
Spent a fabulous weekend at Star Harbor with family ranging in age from 78 to 12 - and all had a great time. The house is beautiful and beautifully furnished - inside and out, and spotlessly clean. We are veteran VRBO travelers and don't think we've ever seen a kitchen (and wet bar) that were more fully stocked. The back deck (and double decker dock) offer great views - and s'mores at the firepit were another big hit. We are all anxious to come back to this property.
We thoroughly enjoyed a long weekend on the water. The views are amazing and we found the home charming, clean, well-stocked and historically interesting. The kitchen is well-appointed and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. It is also easy to move from the indoors to the outdoors with a large deck, fire pit, screened porch and multi-level boathouse. We even played some pool - this is a house with something for everyone. We would definitely come back again!!
This house is well equipped with everything you need for a get away. The host has excellent communication. Caught a few fish off the dock. My family really enjoyed the sunroom and the fire-pit. House is very roomy. Definitely plan to stay again
