Why Gloria Ripoll chose Cedar Creek Lake

We bought our place in August 1997 for a peaceful 'getaway' from the stress of working & living in the city. In 2003 we relocated our permanent residence outside of the city and found our new residence to be our permanent 'getaway'. We contemplated selling our lake house, but in 2000 our 1st grandchild was born & has spent so much of his life @ the lake that he would not hear of our selling it. We now have 4 grandchildren & it is now our getaway to enjoy with our children & grandchildren. However, as the grandchildren are becoming more & more involved in sports & other activities, we don't spend as much time @ the lake. So, we decided to place our property on VRBO in January 2009 for others to enjoy as much as we all do. The ones who have rented our place have been very complimentary & we have enjoyed sharing our place with them. It has been a pleasant experience.

What makes this house unique

What I enjoy most is getting up early in the morning & going out to the dock to watch the sunrise. It is so peaceful & serene at that time. The birds & wildlife come to life at that time. I also enjoy sitting out on the top deck @ sunset....nothing better than sipping a glass wine & overlooking the beautiful sunsets in the afternoon. The cottage is right on a deep water & wide open cove, great for all water sports. Unlike so many places whenever there is a drought, we have always had good water & never have had any problems getting our boat & pwc's in & out of the water. It is great for swimming & fishing as well. Thanks to our guests, their reviews describe the charm, beauty & fun to be had @ MarGlo's Cottage.

Great weekend!

We had a great time at MarGlo's cottage. The house was stocked with everything we could possibly need and very clean. The patio provided a great area to cookout and enjoy the sunset. We had a great time out on the lake all day Saturday and Sunday morning. We certainly hope to be back!

Great Lake Stay

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Jan 9, 2013
  • Stayed: Aug 2012
We had a great stay at Marglo's last summer. It was a family get away for us to relax and unwind before school and the football season started

The house is extremely clean and very comfortable. There is a great view of the lake from the house. The dock area is nice and we spent evenings on the upper deck watching the sunset and stars come out. Our boys (8 & 15) really enjoyed the place, too.

A very quick and easy trip from Dallas.

I highly recommend this property.

Owner's Response: Thank you so much for your nice review. We love hearing that young families with children enjoy our place as much as our kids and grandkids do, especially in these busy times. It's great to get out & enjoy the great outdoors. We appreciate your taking the time to write a review & know it helps others such as yourself when looking for a place at the lake. We hope you visit our place again soon. The Ripoll's

A true "lake house" experience

A true "lake house" experience
  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Nov 12, 2012
  • Stayed: Oct 2012
If you are looking for a true lake house experience with a laid back fall weather hangout, this is it! The house is perfect for small groups (it was just 2 adults and 2 kids for us) to get together and truly relax. Whether by the fire pit on the large back patio looking over the water, or fishing on the dock or wine above the dock with even better views, there are many opportunities to be together and outside! The weather was chilly and it was great to have the smell of the fire going, eating smores, taking walks and naps, playing games with our kids, carving pumpkins and just unplugging. All we packed was food (even though there are plenty of choices within close proximity), drinks and clothes and everything else needed was provided by the owners. Going to the lake "offseason" brings a new and more laid back experience when you have kids in tow. No worries about swimsuits, water activities, sunscreen, bugspray and who is swimming where. We will be back!

Wonderful Location! SUPER clean! Fab Accomodations!

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Sep 6, 2012
  • Stayed: Aug 2012
Had 2 adults and 2 teenagers. Stayed there for Labor Day. Cute cottage. Extremely clean and well organized. It is true...all you need to bring is your food and clothes! Owners are very helpful. Plenty of room. Loved the deck at the dock. Spent many hours just swimming near the dock when we were not on our boat. Nice homes on either side. Only a couple of issues. 1. Was not able to use the community ramp. The water was too low. Headed over to Don's Marina...only 5 minutes away, launched for $5. 2. The "mooring of the boat" at the dock was a bit difficult to figure out, but we eventually determined how all the various ropes work to keep the boat from slamming into the dock. Do yourself a favor and take notes when the homeowner tells you how it works if you have never done it in the past. The picture in the welcome binder will not totally tell you what you need to know since there is step by step process for "mooring" and "unmooring" a boat.

Owner's Response: Grace, thank you so much for your nice review. We're sorry to hear the water level had dropped at the boat ramp that you couldn't launch your boat. Good to know the instructions in the "Welcome" book are not self-explanatory enough & will attempt to change the instructions to be more explicit. These comments are greatly appreciated, which helps us to continue to strive to have the best vacation rental on the lake. Thanks again, Martin & Gloria

Wonderful four day getaway with family!!!!

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Jul 29, 2012
  • Stayed: Jul 2012
We stayed for four nights at Marglo's cottage for a short family getaway with my two teenagers. We absolutely loved the attention to every detail in the cottage. The cottage is absolutely immaculate as shown in the pictures and in a great location on the lake as well. The area on the water in front of the cottage is somewhat protected and is great for water sports and jet skiing since the water is calmer along this area. We took advantage of the nearby boat dock to launch our jet ski and also rented a really nice ski boat for three days at Don's Marina which is just about 10 mins away from Marglo's. The owner's always answered any question that we had very quickly and even took the time to warn us of a possible storm coming in since they knew we had rented a boat and had a jet ski with us. It was simply just a great four days and we are absolutely missing that view. We WILL be back!!!

We look forward to your return visit.
