Cedar Creek Lake Cottage Rentals

Privacy and design.

Sunrise Point sits on its own peninsula with water on three sides. No through-traffic. No strangers wandering past your patio. Only adult guests who came for the same quiet and fun you did.

Unlike a large rented lake house or a resort, each couple has their own cottage, and the peninsula is shared by a handful of adults, not a crowd. Set in a grove of oak trees, the cottages offer more than a place to sleep near the water. Every cottage was custom-built rather than converted.

Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the lake the moment you walk in, and motorized shades let you choose how much of it you want to view. The limestone exterior ties each cottage to the bird it is named for.

Sue and Ann live on the property, so the details are right and the photos are honest.

This is a true retreat from the everyday, and a different kind of Cedar Creek Lake lodging: cared for the way an inn is, not a rental house.

Each of our four cottages offers a boutique experience tailored to your stay:

• Open suite with a queen adjustable bed and a private lake-facing patio. Floor to ceiling lake views
  with motorized shades
• Modern kitchenette for preparing simple meals, with a mini-fridge and icemaker, microwave, Keurig
  with K-pods, quartz counter, and a full set of dishes and flatware
• Seating areas for uninterrupted relaxation
• High-speed Wi-Fi and a 40-inch smart TV with Hulu
• Spa-style bathroom with a marble-tiled shower, quartz vanity, and Turkish towels
• Private patio with propane grill, outdoor lounging furniture, hammock and its own fire feature

Every stay also includes full use of the property amenities:

• Saltwater swimming pool, lounges and umbrellas open April through October
• 8-person hot tub jacuzzi, open year-round
• The only private lakeside pickleball court on Cedar Creek Lake, with playing equipment
• Private dock with two kayaks and two stand-up paddleboards
• Lakeside gas fire pit, four-basket disc golf course, horseshoe pit, and putting green
• Propane grill with utensils, and multiple outdoor seating areas
• Level 2 EV charger
• Two large dining tables and chairs

With 1,800 feet of Cedar Creek Lake shoreline and three acres of natural beauty, Sunrise Point is your outdoor playground. Play a set on the private pickleball court just steps from your cottage. Lounge by the saltwater pool or soak in the hot tub. Push a kayak or paddleboard off the private dock and explore the lake at your own pace. Fish or watch for birds from the dock, or take on the disc golf course, horseshoes, and putting green.

Then slow down. Immerse yourself in the lake, watch deer graze quietly on the property, and keep an eye out for our resident fox. Whether you are sharing a meal under the open sky, laughing with friends, reading a good book, or taking a quiet nap, you will find the space to reconnect with nature, the people you came with, or yourself.

Yes, and it is the only private lakeside pickleball court on Cedar Creek Lake. Step out of your cottage, walk across the driveway, and you are on the court, eight feet from the water with the lake as your backdrop.

The court is exclusive to cottage guests, so there is no waiting, no reservations, and no strangers on the other side of the net. Book all four cottages and you can bring up to eight adults for a pickleball weekend that is entirely your own.

All four are the same size with the same high standard. They differ slightly in light and color. Each is angled to provide privacy while views of the water. Choose from The Goldfinch cottage with ADA amenities, or The Bluebird, The Cardinal and The Hummingbird.
