Charming Cottage in Desirable Star Harbor

Come Visit Cedar Creek Lake in Star Harbor! This exclusive neighborhood is highly sought after on the lake. The beautifully remodeled three-bedroom, two-bathroom home is the perfect place to enjoy all that the neighborhood and the lake have to offer. The home was recently remodeled and updated furnishings highlight the open concept kitchen and living area. The kitchen itself is fully stocked with all the basics you need to make a vacation meal and entertain your guests! And the home boasts family-friendly games to keep the entertainment going.

As charming as the house is, the highlight of this property is the outdoor area! You can access the beautiful outdoor deck from the second floor of the home and the patio is accessible from the first floor. The expansive upper deck is fenced off to keep both human and fur babies contained. The view of the open water from these relaxing perches are spectacular!

A unique feature of this home is the convenient outdoor kitchen with a gas grill to make outdoor entertaining and eating a breeze! After a delicious barbecue, head down to the fire pit for a great way to watch the sunset with an inviting fire. If you are looking for more active entertainment, take advantage of badminton and croquet that are available for our guests!

Star Harbor also has amenities that our guests can enjoy! The boat ramp for the community is just one house away and the private golf course is close by in the neighborhood.

Finally, take advantage of the private dock during your stay! You are more than welcome to tie up your boat during your stay. The property also offers fishing poles, kayaks, a paddle board, a lily pad and two hammocks for our guests to enjoy while spending your days on the dock! Why would you even go inside?! For that matter, you may never want to leave!

We cannot wait for you to come visit Shoreline!

Excellent Eclipse 2024 Stay
Our group (6 people total) stayed here for the eclipse. The hosts went above and beyond providing eclipse viewing glasses and supplies for s’mores. We were all very comfortable. The host was communicative and responded quickly to our questions. Thank you for making this trip possible!

Wedding weekend
This lakeside home was the perfect place to relax between wedding festivities. Plenty of outdoor living space with ample seating on upper deck and ground level. The hostess left a welcome basket of s'mores makings. Nice touch!

Excellent communication with the owners. Fantastic upstairs deck! Great upstairs kitchen, living area, master bedroom/bath and laundry room. Downstairs bedrooms and bathroom are small, but our grandkids had a blast. Great dock, great water equipment. Totally enjoyed our stay.

Relaxing Getaway Out of Town
We enjoyed our stay on the water, particularly the sunsets over the lake. Beautiful views, especially from the second floor deck (and I made great use of the hammock there). The home was well-equipped and the provided linens/towels were luxurious. We delighted in s'mores over the fire pit and had fun going into town (Malakoff) for some shopping.

Good house on the water
House was good for our family, and the owners were very helpful. The second bathroom is very small and not ideal for adults.
