My family just completed our second year at Cedar Creek Ranch and I cannot say enough great things about the property and it's owner. Multiple improvements were made from last year, and we thought last year was fantastic. Too cold to swim in then new pool, but it is beautiful, new outdoor furniture in multiple areas, a new 2 door commercial fridge in the kitchen was awesome and allowed us more than enough space for our 40+ dinner guests. New beds in one of the rooms for a "Kids Bunkhouse" was a hit with the younger group. I have booked a lot of VRBO rentals, the owner of this property is a standout and the most communicative I have ever encountered. Pictures are great, but they dont do the total property justice. See you next Christmas for what is now a family tradition.

Pros: Amazing location, great amenities, super spacious with warm and friendly host…….
Cons: Property needs some serious TLC. Everything in prior reviews holds true so I have to admit, nothing was a shock but having those prior concerns fixed, would have definitely made our experience even better.

We had 27 in our group and had a wonderful stay. The common area is huge and a wonderful area to be in for everyone. Three large tables and lots of barstools. Also, lots of sitting areas for visiting and the view is wonderful. There needs to be a bathroom for the common area and a larger refrigerator. Overall, we had a wonderful time.

We were pleasantly surprised about how large this property and accommodations are. The open area inside main house was large enough for our entire group. Has a detached bunk house, large outdoor kitchen, eating areas, pool etc. Needed more than 2 days to really use all the amenities that were offered. Great views! Love this place!

This is the perfect location to host a large gathering and group stay. It's got the club house style set up for the common areas with large multi-bed and multi-shower/toilet bathrooms in three of the bedrooms. This made it easier to double up as guest bathrooms for our celebration with day guests. Very spacious! It accommodated all ages for our group. Other than bringing extra towels and possibly your paper goods, it's all set.

It is very rare that I write reviews, and even more rare that I write one as positive as this one is. My immediate family has grown to 30+ people over 4 generations with my parents being 80 and my great nieces and nephews being toddlers. In the past Christmas had become a one day affair due to the sheer size of our group. This year we rented Cedar Creek Ranch and had the best Christmas in years! The property is outstanding, pictures online do not do the size justice. This is a resort, not a home. The living area, with multiple seating areas, 3 dining areas, a ping pong table, pool table, bar area, and beautiful views of Lake Whitney is likely 3000+ plus square feet...this doesnt include the huge kitchen with bar area and the 4 bedrooms under this roof. Not to mention the adjacent guest house with another living area, small kitchenette, and 2 more bedrooms with multiple sleeping options. The home is immaculately clean, well stocked with kitchen, toiletries, linens, and satellite TVs in many of the rooms. The outside space is equally large and well suited for very large groups. There are 10-12 concrete picnic tables under 2 covered areas, a large bar area, and a huge observation, deck also equipped with table and chairs for watching the sun set over the lake. All of this sits on a large piece of land with ample room for a friendly game of football, hitting a few golf balls from the tee box, or just relaxing and watching multiple generations play and laugh together from the comfort of the covered patio just out the back door of the living space.
Couple this great property, with the fantastic owner who is super-responsive and clearly investing in the comfort of their guests, and you cannot go wrong. We have already selected our dates for next year as Cedar Creek Ranch has become a "family tradition" after this weekend!

Overall it is a nice place with lots of room to sit inside and has a great outside area for kids to play with access to Lake Whitney. With so many positives there are also some negatives. This is the second year we have stayed there and the facility is beginning to show signs of deterioration. Most of the mattresses on the beds through out the lodging are in serious need of replacement. The bed frame in the first bedroom (back bed) near the front door is in poor condition. The front bedroom has way too much furniture in it. It is also poorly designed - it would be nice to be able to access the back bedroom without having to go through the front bedroom - add a wall in front bedroom so that the back bedroom can be accessed from the outside door. The chairs around the tables are very wobbly and need to be repaired or replaced. Bathrooms were missing either shampoo or shower gel. There was not enough laundry detergent. Some of the bedrooms had fans / lights that did not function. There were no hand towels for the kitchen. A brown recliner in the main lodge needs to be repaired or replaced.

Check in was very easy. The house has 3 huge living spaces that we took full advantage of because we had 25 people in our group. Used the pool table and ping pong table a lot. Great back porch and yard but unfortunately it rained and was cold so didn't get to take advantage of that except the fire pit one night. But did get to see the beautiful sunset. The oven blew out on Sat morning. We contacted the owner and within 30 minutes they were at the house and within an hour they had delivered and installed a new oven. So thankful for that since we were having our family Thanksgiving meal that day. The owners saved the day! Lots of space in each room. Lots of restrooms and showers. The only recommendation would be to bring some of your pots/pans. The ones in the house had seen better days. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful property and open living room with game room was a great place for gatherings. Everything was great and we enjoyed it. Only things to note was the fridge was not very cold, lack of hot water in the bunk house and low water pressure in kitchen sink. Walking down the lake at sunset was beautiful.

Great Girlfriend Getaway
A group of 12 of my golf friends headed down to the area for a girl golf weekend and stayed here. The large gathering space was great for us and we had a great time. Some minor maintenance things were noticed-light bulbs out etc but nothing to take away from our great time. Host was great-easy to work with and very responsive!!

The great room was huge and held all of us effortlessly. We had 21 people, multiple generations. Would have liked more towels. We also had a bit of difficulty managing the cooking and keeping of food for all of us in one refrigerator and one oven. But we made it work. It was a wonderful space for us all to be together.

This place was great for a big group. It’ll be great for family reunions or just a big getaway. The smoker was used the whole time and worked great. The only issues we had were the yellowjackets outside, but we or the owners have no control over them. We couldn’t even find a hive or nest. But all in all I’d give this place a 8.5 out of 10. Some things could be updated in the house and around the property but a great place to stay and would do it again!

We had a great time! We had 9 adults and 9 kids. Plenty of room to spread out and everyone was able to sleep in a bedroom.
A few tips if you are renting a boat: There's only one place on the lake to rent from and it's on the other side of the dam (20-25 minute drive). Bring your people with you so you can stay at the south end of the lake, because it's a 30-40 minute boat ride back up to this place.
The lake access was great. A little bit of a walk, but you can also drive more than halfway down to get closer.
Just a few comments, and I call them "comments" and not complaints because it's a rental, so it's not going to be absolutely perfect.
1) The TVs were a little difficult to figure out because the box in the living room controls both the living room TV and the kitchen TV. Makes it a little difficult to change the channel on the kitchen TV, but not the end of the world. Something probably said this somewhere, but if it did, I missed it. A quick message to the host sorted it out.
2) The internet is really slow, but this place it somewhat in the middle of nowhere so it's kind of to be expected. Just stick with your cell network.
3) The kitchen does have a lot of stuff, but it's a hodgepodge and most of it is well used. Consider bringing a few things of your own or if you need something special.
4) Beware of wasps/hornets, particularly around the bunkhouse. I was stung and my brother-in-law was stung multiple times.
Again, just comments. The place was perfect for what we needed and everyone had a great time. Will consider booking again.

This was a great place for our large family gathering. There was so much space in the main building, with lots of sitting areas and tables for games! It was very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. Would recommend an upgrade to the coffee maker. Would also recommend a second large refrigerator, but as long as you have a large ice chest, should be fine. There were some general repairs and upkeep needed but overall, the buildings and property are great.
The views from the windows in the main house and the patio we so nice. Everyone really enjoyed that.
There was lots of space outside for a lot of activities. The covered picnic area was really nice, especially when you caught a nice breeze.
The upper deck and outdoor bar was in need of repairs, we didn't spend anytime there, but it could be really cool. The grill area was nice but the grill was a little hard for those of us that don't have experience with charcoal grilling, but we managed and learned something new!
The step downs out of the doors along the back of the house were very steep and some of our older guests had issues with those. It would be nice to have handrails or something.
Communication with the owner was excellent. Overall we had a great experience and would definitely rent this property again.

The house was great for our needs, but was a little unkept.
It was big with great amenities for fun like ping pong, pool, and shuffle board. Also super spacious with tons of room, couches, and tables indoors. However, the grass wasn't cut in the back so trying to do anything outside was challenging with the very tall grass. The floors were also not well cleaned as there were multiple dead bees and bugs on the floor near the windows, as well as multiple live flys around the house.
Overall, I'd be happy to return if the place was a little more upkept.
