Island Park Cottage- Cozy 2-bedroom home on the Lake

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 a few 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.


Inside of home:
Open concept living room/kitchen
Living room has sofa, leather side chair, tv with Hulu, Netflix and Disney Plus. Fireplace has electric heater insert.
Kitchen contains: refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, microwave, blender, food processor, toaster, instant pot, pots and pans, dishes, silverware, cooking spices.
1st Bedroom: Queen bed with bedding and pillows.
2nd Bedroom: Full bed, twin bed and pull out twin bed, bedding, pillows, tv with Old School video games.
Bathroom: Stand up shower basic toiletries.
Sunroom: sofa with queen sleeper, washer/dryer, full length wrap-around drapery for privacy.
Wifi is provided, but at the lake anything can happen and sometimes the internet goes down. This unfortunately is not something we can control and most properties are subjected to this. Please keep this in mind if internet is a requirement for you stay.


On the Outside:
Raised deck from the back door with outdoor seating including a couch and a bar/table for eating.
The grill is located right off the deck
with overhead string lights to help see across the expansive backyard.
A paddleboard and kayak as well as life vests are provided (You may want to bring your own to assure proper fit).
Fish directly from our lower dock,
Stairway with rails to help you get in and out of the water.
Three beach cruisers and a jr. bike.
Dock to tie off boat for day use. We do not recommend leaving your boat in overnight as there is not a boat lift and can be damaged if the water gets rough. Tying up to the dock is done at the guest's risk. We take no responsibility for any damage that could occur to your boat. Local boat ramp is less than 5 minutes away.
Upper deck above dock is now open. Enjoy the beautiful sunset views of the lake!

We really enjoyed our relaxing stay in this cozy lake cottage, everything we needed was supplied. Lake levels were down, so not very good view, but we still enjoyed ourselves! The host was very communicative and helpful. We will be back, perfect for a couple!

Courtney was an excellent host and made our stay truly enjoyable. The house had everything we needed, from well-stocked essentials to thoughtful touches that made it feel like a home away from home. It was also such a peaceful and beautiful place to stay—perfect for relaxing and unwinding. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, serene getaway.

Great in every way!

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.

Wonderful lake house getaway

This sweet lake house was even better than expected. It was perfectly clean and the host had provided everything you would want or need to fully enjoy the stay. The house is perfectly decorated and has every comfortable of home including a fully stocked kitchen, bathroom necessities such as fresh toothbrushes and nice toiletries, fluffy comforters, and a nice smell greets you when you arrive. The closed in patio is nice for morning coffee with a view of the lake and there is a large outdoor area with activities if you want to partake. Courtney was quick to answer any question we had and made the experience so nice. My daughter and I will be back next time we go to Canton!

Amazing and responsive host, warm, inviting, and spotless!! So glad we chose this Vrbo… we picked based on proximity to my daughters Gun Barrel City house. We are returning because we absolutely loved the space! I especially liked the sunroom, felt like I was outside without being out in actual heat of the day. Cortney is the Best!!

Absolutely wonderful home, owners, and location. We had 4 friends join us one afternoon to celebrate my husband’s birthday and they also loved the house. We floated in the canal and kayaked and paddle boarded to the lake. We will return.
