Blue Daze - Waterfront bungalow w firepit & amazing views

Settled right on the shores of Cedar Creek Lake, this 3-bed, 2-bath relaxing family home is an ideal Texas retreat. Take in the sweeping views of the lake from the spacious 3- level deck. Enjoy kayaks, fishing, and swimming from our backyard lake access or just spend some needed time connecting with your family. Gather in our modern kitchen, play the many indoor and outdoor games or just enjoy the day in wistful hammocks or tree swings. We are excited to host your lake adventure.

Our home was recently completely remodeled and you will have access to the entire home. Our large backyard provides access to the lake with a kayak launch/lake ladder. You will enjoy the large back deck with plenty of lounge areas. There are three bedrooms; two with queen beds and a bunkroom. The bunkroom has four full sized beds that are extra long and designed for adult or children.

The house is equipped with everything you need in the kitchen for great cooking indoors or out. Inside we have a cozy woodburning fireplace and slider patio doors that open completely to provide indoor outdoor living. If you prefer to grill or smoke that awesome Texas brisket, we have you covered with combo grill/smoker with a gas grill on one side and a full wood/charcoal smoker on the other. We have a full set of BBQ tools available.

Our backyard provides a firepit with five Adirondack chairs and multiple yard games including giant Jenga, giant connect 4, a football, soccer, and badminton set. We also have two tree swings.

Parking is available in the driveway, but please limit it to four vehicles.

Boats: We not nor currently have a boathouse or pier. The public boat launch is within few miles of the house. If you bring a boat you are welcome to tie up to our seawall in the backyard, but we request that your boat be trailered when not in use (evenings) to protect our seawall from any damage.

The home is located within a short drive to the main street in Gun Barrel City which provides quick access to restaurants, Starbucks, a nearby state park, and a family fun park.

If you have any questions, please let us know how we can help you plan your family adventure.

Waterfront sunset paradise!!
The property was exactly the lakefront getaway that we were hoping to find and it was perfect for our family/friends weekend (2 adults and 5 older teens)… the house is adorable and the waterfront location is incredible! My husband and I never missed a sunset on the water from the adorable 3 level deck. The bunk room was awesome with a closet FULL of games and activities, and large, full size beds… plus each bunk had its own light and built in nook and charger outlet for phones and belongings. The other bedrooms were quite nice too, especially the very spacious master… The house and grounds are perfectly designed and well-stocked with anything you could possibly need like sunscreen, aloe, and bug spray as well as beach towels and a S’Mores kit to enjoy during the stay! The owner Mark was SO easy to work with and readily available to help if needed, and even mailed me back an item that I had left in the lovely master bath. There were SO many activities that the kids could enjoy- kayaks, paddle board, lily pad for floating, two super FUN tree swings, corn hole, fire pit…. This house has EVERYTHING! We had a hard time choosing between the top 3 houses we were looking at, but we were thrilled that we chose Blue Daze! It was the PERFECT house for our fun filled long weekend at the lake! Highly recommend!

This is our first VRBO experience and: wow! We were so impressed. This property is beautifully decorated, outfitted with top-of-the-line items throughout. From a complete silverware set 👍🏻, high-quality cooking equipment, amazing lake views, nice linens and towels in all beds, great terrace, ample backyard for games, fireplace and fire pit, etc. The owners are very helpful and gave great recommendations in the area (it was our first time there). We certainly want to come back!! Thank you for helping us create beautiful family memories.

Perfect Lake Getaway
This property is a gem. Everything with this stay exceeded our expectations. House was perfect and views of the lake are impeccable. We really enjoyed waking up and having a coffee by the water. We went to a local winery in the evening and caught an Eagles tribute band. One evening we stayed in and enjoyed the sunset by the campfire. Highly recommend. Owner is friendly and extremely easy to coordinate and accommodate.

Wonderful Weekend
I've been visiting Cedar Creek for over 20 years...and have stayed in mansions...and shacks. But, the Bungalow was in the "Goldilocks Zone"...it was Just Right! What a beautiful property! ...well appointed...beautifully decorated and furnished...comfortable and gorgeours views. I definitely have a new "Go To" destination at the lake. Thanks, Mark for a wonderful weekend.

Very nicely designed home with perfect accommodations for a family of 4. Once they get the boat dock added in, this home will be even more incredible. Owner Mark was responsive and there for a personal walk through and introduction to the home. We will consider again for future stays

We spent a lovely weekend mom's weekend getaway here. The house is amazing and the hosts have literally thought of every detail to make your stay so easy and smooth. And we've never had a host who was so attentive and helpful. He came by our first day and did a thorough walk thru for us and he even dropped off extra fire starters one day for us. Definitely recommend this home!
