Just an hour south of Dallas lies Texas’ fourth largest lake, Cedar Creek Lake, making it one of the go-to weekend destinations for Dallasites! This lake showcases stunning panoramic views, incredible fishing spots, and all your favorite lake activities, so we headed down for a team lake trip and stayed at a quaint Airbnb, Cedar Creek Chalet! We're breaking down our stay plus filling you all in all the happenings around the lake so you can plan your trip!

CEDAR CREEK CHALET
This adorable 3-bed, 3-bath cabin is nestled in a quiet cove with a homey and cozy interior perfect for friends and families alike! The hosts have thought of everything (even a smores bar) to enjoy your vacay! Our team loved relaxing on the wrap-around deck and taking in the scenery. If you’re looking to get out on the water, the cabin comes with two paddle boards!
