What a great economical place on the lake. Laura is also an accommodating host. All out party joyed the property, even in late Fall. We would stay there again
We loved the house and location on the lake. Sunsets were amazing and there’s plenty of room to swim and play in the water. The whole family had a blast and we’re already looking forward to a return. Best place we’ve rented at Cedar Creek!
Wonderful quiet place away from the crowds of Canton but within a short drive to thrifting! Lots of yummy restaurants close ba and the views are amazing.
Wonderful place to relax and unwind. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets. Great place to fish. Enjoyed the stay, recommend the place to all and looking forward to returning again and again.
So thoughtfully appointed. Very comfortable stay. Everythjng we needed for our stay! Our hostess met us and went over the property. Beautiful sunsets. Really great outdoor deck to watch the birds on the lake. Highly recommend.
Nice access to the lake. Nice living areas. The table in the main living area is a little too big to be able to easily access the sectional seating area.Fan on back porch appears to have a burned up motor. Would have been nice if it worked, especially to sit on the porch in evening.This was our second stay at this location.
This was a great place for a relaxing weekend retreat. The neighborhood is sketchy until you get to the property, which was nice. The house was very clean and had everything you needed to have a relaxing weekend with the worry of forgetting stuff such as plates, utensils, etc. the check in process was very easy and they host/owners responded quickly. Even though the bowl dock was partially closed for storm damage repair , we were able to use it without issues. Would definitely stay here again.
property was just perfect for our group. clean and cozy. beautiful views of the lake. well stocked kitchen, comfy beds, Deck was perfect for enjoying evenings. easy check-in and Jessi and Laura responsive and helpful. Would definitely recommend and return
We really enjoyed the patio and lake view and fenced in side yard for our dog. The home was clean and not far from some retail areas as well. We also enjoyed fishing from the dock even though the fish were not biting that day.
The house feels like home. Jessi and Laura make sure that you are taken care of! The outdoor set up is the best! The sunset views are breathtaking. 10 out of 10, would recommend!
The neighborhood was not what was expected based on location. However, the inside of the property was very clean and the back porch view of the lake was beautiful. Laura the owner even stopped by to bring soap and chat.
Laura was very friendly and helpful. The house was clean, beds were comfortable and had plenty of towels. The kitchen had what we needed to cook a meal, a regular coffee pot and a Keurig. We had a great time using the paddle board and just relaxing on the back porch. We liked that it had a fenced area for the dog.
The place was spotless and the side yard is great for fur babies. The neighborhood is a bit rough, but once you are at the rental is is amazing. The lake is so peaceful. The porch was where I relaxed with morning coffee and evening sunsets. Stayed the week of the eclipse and was able to observe totality from the backyard. The fire pit is really nice and we made some great s'mores ♥️

Needs Updates
Needs update: Carpet needs to be cleaned, unlevel floors, bedroom doors need to be held by a block, boat dock needs boards replaced and spider webs knocked down. The backyard view is amazing for sunsets! Clean bathrooms and kitchen! Great host! Jessie and Laura were awesome!
The house is really nice, and very clean. The manager met us at check in and showed us around the place and was there to ask any questions we had.
We were hoping for warmer weather, so we could actually get in the water, but with the wind and the clouds we ended up just handing on the porch and by the water. Which was the second best thing, to swimming/floating. The view is wonderful, lots of bird and boats to watch.
There are a lot of places to DoorDash from in the area, and we had a spectacular weekend just hanging out.

Good Stay Overall
The neighborhood was a little scary but once at the property all seemed ok. Jessi, the property manager was wonderful. The place was very clean and nicely decorated. Ample sleeping and living areas. The only reason not giving a perfect rating is the Adirondack chairs were mostly broken and unusable. Glad we brought our own. The outdoor speaker was also not working. But everything was really nice and overall had a fun family weekend with friends
Lovely lakefront home. Very clean and comfortable. Everything you need to cook a meal or grill on the covered patio. We enjoyed the beautiful sunsets & sitting around the fire pit at night.
