About this house rental
Island Park Cottage is a large and private property with a cozy open concept 2-bedroom home located on the lake in Gun Barrel City. Perfect for a family getaway or a small group of friends, you will have direct access from the backyard to the lake (SEE NOTE BELOW REGARDING THE LAKE LEVEL) for less than most other waterfront homes on the lake. Only an hour away Dallas, Cedar Creek Lake combined with Island Park Cottage is the perfect destination for those looking to escape the city life for a few days.
Located in a quiet neighborhood in Gun Barrel City, you can take a walk or ride a bike through the neighborhood. You have access to the Walmart and Brookshires Grocery store within a few minutes' drive. Visit the multiple local restaurants or choose to eat at home on the water.
THE LAKE LEVEL CAN VARY AT ANY GIVEN TIME DURING THE YEAR. We recommend you inquire about the lake level if this is an important part of your visit to the lake BEFORE YOU BOOK. The current level is: VERY LOW, and we have very little water in the channel we sit in currently.
Inside of home:
Open concept living room/kitchen
Living room has sofa, leather side chair, tv with Hulu, Netflix and Disney Plus. Fireplace has electric heater insert.
Kitchen contains: refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, microwave, blender, food processor, toaster, instant pot, pots and pans, dishes, silverware, cooking spices.
1st Bedroom: Queen bed with bedding and pillows.
2nd Bedroom: Full bed, twin bed and pull out twin bed, bedding, pillows, tv with Old School video games.
Bathroom: Stand up shower basic toiletries.
Sunroom: sofa with queen sleeper, washer/dryer, full length wrap-around drapery for privacy.
Wifi is provided, but at the lake anything can happen and sometimes the internet goes down. This unfortunately is not something we can control and most properties are subjected to this. Please keep this in mind if internet is a requirement for you stay.
On the Outside:
Raised deck from the back door with outdoor seating including a couch and a bar/table for eating.
The grill is located right off the deck
with overhead string lights to help see across the expansive backyard.
A paddleboard and kayak as well as life vests are provided (You may want to bring your own to assure proper fit).
Fish directly from our lower dock,
Stairway with rails to help you get in and out of the water.
Three beach cruisers and a jr. bike.
Dock to tie off boat for day use. We do not recommend leaving your boat in overnight as there is not a boat lift and can be damaged if the water gets rough. Tying up to the dock is done at the guest's risk. We take no responsibility for any damage that could occur to your boat. Local boat ramp is less than 5 minutes away.
Upper deck above dock is now open. Enjoy the beautiful sunset views of the lake!

Nice cottage, well equipped, didn’t love the area but the rental was perfect.
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
We really enjoyed our relaxing stay in this cozy lake cottage, everything we needed was supplied. Lake levels were down, so not very good view, but we still enjoyed ourselves! The host was very communicative and helpful. We will be back, perfect for a couple!

Courtney was an excellent host and made our stay truly enjoyable. The house had everything we needed, from well-stocked essentials to thoughtful touches that made it feel like a home away from home. It was also such a peaceful and beautiful place to stay—perfect for relaxing and unwinding. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, serene getaway.
6 / 10Average·Dec 2022
The kitchen is well stocked with cookware and necessities. Living area pleasant and included fall decorations. Very clean place. Towels very nice. The Sun porch looks pleasant. However, we were limited to the house, due to rain and temp. Gracious hostess.
I let my friend stay in the main bedroom and I was stuck with with the second bedroom. Ugh! Bunk beds, no table and lamp! (So this rental is limited to a couple with kids.) You can’t read, have a leisurely cup of coffee in bed etc. Used my cooler to sit items.on! TV choices and Wi-Fi were bad. The tv on line has outdated choices and I can’t recommend HULU. The bathroom needs a small table to sit toiletries etc. on. Either you try to balance your items on the sink or place on the floor. I recommend you get a narrow table with chairs that you sit behind the sofa. Not everyone wants to sit on bar stools. Per my friend, the bed in main bedroom needs a step stool.
I do appreciate you driving over on Thanksgiving to help us with the tv! Hope this helps!
