We absolutely enjoyed our stay! The house is large and was perfect for our family to spread out. The property itself was a dream! Lightning bugs lit up every evening & hummingbirds visited us on the back deck every day. The lake itself is always a treat. The home was very clean & very pet friendly. I definitely recommend!

House was great! Spacious for multiple families and very well stocked. Many extra touches that made the trip more enjoyable. Outside space is nice, dock is nice and it was so peaceful and quiet. We had 6 kids under 11, they had great space in the bunk room and downstairs in the basement. The pet amenities were also appreciated. The host was very responsive to anything we needed. We had a great time at this very charming Lakehouse.

This is by far the nicest decorated home we’ve ever been at via VRBO. Honestly, everything you need. (If you need/like extra bath towels, bring them, there aren’t extras. Also need to bring beach towels if you’re going in the lake). The dock was wonderful.One shower was not working, but the owner did respond to my text. While it wasn’t fixed during our stay, we understand sometimes things like this happen. The rooms are very spacious, plenty of room to spread out. Be mindful, this is a woods setting and there are bugs, some inside. We cannot say enough about how nicely and completely this home is furnished.

Great stay!!

We had our family of 10, 6 adults and 4 older teens stay for the weekend. The home was beautiful, well decorated, plenty of room, and easily accessible to the lake! My in-laws (upper 70s) had no problem walking to the dock. The house was well stocked with staples, and had plenty of cookware to make big meals. We loved having many places to gather such as the main living area, indoor/outdoor porch, basement and outdoor fire pit area. We felt secluded, safe, and had a blast! Rented a boat from Harbor Light Marina which was easy, too. Beds were comfy too and we all slept great!!

Wonderful location on lake and very private. Beautiful home inside and out has everything you need for the week of family time. Children loved the bunk room and game/TV room downstairs with outside games too. Swimming deck and upper deck were great for enjoying lunch and watching everyone swim. Having a large group 2 frigs was very helpful for us. Thank you for all the little extras from the owner also. Had a wonderful time and would come back again.

Great spot for families

We had a great time spending the weekend at the Lakehouse. My sister and her family along with our dad had a great time. Cousins got to spend time together. The table was large enough for all of us. Plenty of space to spread out. Lots of seating areas. The teenagers loved having their own bunk room and also took over the tv room downstairs. The dock was nice for swimming and sitting in the sunshine. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for cooking. We love it.

Amazing Memories!!!

Cedarwood Lakehouse could not of been a better fit for our family. The location, the property, and the house checked all the boxes we look for in a vacation rental. This was our 15th annual family lake house vacation in the southeast and we already booked Cedarwood Lakehouse for 2024!! Kimberly is great to work with and was available throughout the booking process, checking in, and during our stay. She helped us find a boat rental and provided great insight to the surrounding areas. The house had everything you could need and more to enjoy a relaxing week on the lake. Our family is already looking forward to next summer!!! Thanks Kimberly!!!

Incredible stay

We had our family and a few boys who have been friends of my kids for 12+ years gather together at the lake house for 5 days. It was absolutely perfect!! Many houses say they have an equipped kitchen but ultimately have small pans /few dishes making it difficult to cook for a large crowd. This house has it all!! Plenty of spaces to gather or get quiet time alone. Every detail is thoughtfully planned and accounted for. We definitely plan to come back and stay again next fall. Thank you Kimberly for helping us make memories with our family and friends!!

Fantastic Experience!

We loved our stay at the Cedarwood Lakehouse! The kitchen was stocked with everything you could possibly need to prepare meals. The house had so many things for both the kids and adults to enjoy (foosball, board games, toys, bunk beds, canoe, marshmallow roasting sticks, Alexa with speaker to play music, etc, etc.) The host left little touches that made us feel so welcome, such as chocolates and bug spray and sunscreen in case we forgot our own. The beds were very comfortable (even the bunk beds) and the A/C worked very well. And we had an amazing time swimming off the boat dock and taking the canoe out on the lake. It was quiet, serene and totally relaxing. We have stayed at a lot of rentals over the years, and this one felt like a real home rather than just a rental. We will definitely be back!

Perfect Lake House Getaway with Thoughtful Amenities

Our family, along with friends rented this beautiful lake house, and we had an absolutely wonderful time. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the cleanliness and welcoming atmosphere of the house. It was spotless and well-maintained, making us feel right at home. The amenities provided were excellent and truly exceeded our expectations. The kitchen, in particular, was the best stocked kitchen we have ever encountered in a rental property. Every pot, pan, and utensil was of great quality, which made cooking a pleasure. It’s clear that the hosts have put a lot of thought into ensuring guests have everything they need for a comfortable stay. The hosts really go above and beyond to make your experience unforgettable. They have anticipated every possible need and have thoughtfully provided for it. From the cozy living spaces to the well-equipped outdoor areas, every detail has been carefully considered. Overall, our stay was nothing short of perfect, and we highly recommend this lake house to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway. Thank you to the wonderful hosts for making our vacation truly special!
