You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A secret Hideaway in Great Lake Home with a view

Escape the hustle and recharge at our peaceful 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom lake retreat nestled on a serene ½-acre cul-de-sac lot in Hidden Harbor near Cedar Creek Lake. Shaded by mature oak trees and featuring a cozy fire pit, this rural haven is perfect for lake lovers, families, couples, or anyone seeking rest and relaxation in a quiet, homey setting.

While the property is just one house from the lake, water access is via public docks and access points throughout the area. There are several public swimming spots and marinas nearby, and boat rentals are easy to arrange via boatrentusa.com.

This is a home away from home – not perfect, but loved – and we welcome guests to enjoy it the way we do.

In all honesty, we know the carpets need to be replaced. It's on our to-do list as part of future renovations. In the meantime, we hope you'll enjoy this lower-cost rental home with all the amenities you need for a comfortable and memorable stay.

2 Full Bathrooms

New industrial washer & dryer

Take a Bottle, Leave a Bottle
We have a small wall display for guests who may have forgotten to grab a bottle before arriving.
Feel free to take a bottle, enjoy, and unwind — all we ask is that you leave one in return for the next guest. Cheers!

Fireworks – Help Yourself!
We keep a small stash of fireworks in the garage – feel free to light up the night and enjoy a little celebration, safely and responsibly.
Just be sure to follow local guidelines and check for any active burn bans (usually posted at the entrance to Hidden Harbor). Please replace any that you use.

Also nearby: There’s a seasonal fireworks stand just minutes from the house. Open during:

So Relaxing!

This place is greatness! Country living with close access to grocery and convenience stores! Fine dining at Fig's Steakhouse which we went to and was amazing! The peace and quiet is what me and my wife love the most! We love this place and how easy it is to interact with Michelle and Faren. Highly recommend! We will rent again!

Great little place!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Loved the peace and quite! The place was clean and tidy, and the bed was comfortable. We cooked our own food and everything you need is there utensil wise. The wife and I have always wanted to move to the country and for us this little place provides an awesome taste of that. We will definitely rent again!

Jokes on Jokes on the Lake

House was amazing and comfortable. Had everything we needed for our long weekend stay. I loved all the corky funny signs all over the house. Made me feel right at home. One recommendation would be a step by step map of where the light switches are and what goes to what. After 3 days I still don’t think I knew where all the switches were or what switch went to what light 😂

Enjoyable weekend/with some problems

The home was very nice and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. the one minute walk to the lake is incorrect. There is no lake access. All properties on the lake shore are private property. We wanted to do some fishing and had to drive up to Gun Barrel City to access the lake. TV service is poor at best. The signal was constantly dropping in and out.

24th anniversary trip

We took a week and stayed at two different places. Your place was the second stay in our trip, and we absolutely adore your house. The weather was not conducive to going to the Canton first Monday sale like we had hoped, so we just stayed in and enjoyed the comfort of your home. We hope we checked out well, we left the beds unmade, gathered the towels we used and put them on the washer, gathered up our trash and put it out. We hope we left your home in as Good as shape as we found it, I meant to leave my bottle of di amore but my husband grabbed it. Thanks for the great place to stay.

Great to have plenty of space to relax. Nice property with lots of trees. Hubby wished for some coffee on days two and three, but other than that, the kitchen was well stocked for your needs. Loved the comfy couch! We enjoyed a nice quiet stay over the holiday weekend.

Favorite property

This is always our work crew's first choice when they know they will be working at the lake. As soon as we know we are working at the lake they ask me to see if this property is available. We are always so grateful when it is. Can't say enough good things about our multiple stays here. They love it!

Cozy cottage with interesting decor

This cottage has 2 clean full bathrooms - one in a bedroom and one main bathroom. Both bedrooms have queen/king beds and the living room has a day bed. The kitchen is very nice. The carpets are old and have a cat smell. We could not see the lake from this property. Fine for a 2-night stay and for the price. There is a coffee shop and cute restaurant nearby.
