Lakefront Bungalow Retreat - HotTub, Lakeside Pub Loaded w/ Games & Kayaks

Whispering Wood Lakefront Retreat awaits only about a hour from Dallas on Cedar Creek Lake!

Escape to serenity at our stylish lakefront bungalow, a wellness retreat designed for relaxation, adventure, and family fun. Nestled right on the water, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home comfortably sleeps up to 11 guests, offering the perfect mix of peaceful retreat and playful escape.

The space
Unwind in style as you sip coffee on the porch swing overlooking the lake, stargaze from the private hot tub, or roast marshmallows by the lakeside fire pit. With beach and dock access, it’s easy to slip into the water for a swim, paddle out in a kayak, or cast a line in one of the area’s top fishing spots.

Inside, you’ll find a modern bungalow vibe - open, airy, and thoughtfully curated for both wellness seekers and families. Move your body with sunrise yoga on the deck, hop on the Peloton bike, or simply curl up with a book while the lake breeze floats in.

The real showstopper? Our Boathouse Pub - a fully loaded entertainment space with games for all ages, the perfect spot to relax, connect, and enjoy the view with a drink in hand.

Whether you’re planning a rejuvenating girls’ weekend, a family getaway, or a solo retreat to reset, our lakefront oasis is your perfect escape.

We had an excellent time. The lakeside pub, kayaks and hot tub were perfect for our family. We have a wide range of ages (3 - 58) and there is something for everyone. The proximity of the beach/swimming area was a plus also.

Our families had the best time just relaxing and enjoying one another! Plenty of room for all! We played games, roasted S’mores and enjoyed the hot tub in the evening. The lake was so quiet and peaceful. It was exactly what everyone needed.

The place is beautiful and the host is very responsive, that makes it even betterWe had an issue with the coffee machine and i called up the host to my surprise we had the new coffee machine dropped within an hour. I know its not about how expensive was the stuff but the promptness of the service which makes the experience.

Overall a good place for vacation, waterside, plenty of indoor and outdoor space to seat around and relax. Lake Night view is fantastic. Two pros, the soundproof of second floor is not there. If you are sleeping in the bedroom on first floor, you can basically hear every steps, bed creaking, tab running, toilet flushing, etc thats happening upstairs. Secondly, the door knob on first floor are installed poorly, you basically get your thumb stuck when turn it to open the door. one of the lock broke and was stuck at one night. We couldn’t open the door and got locked up that night. I had to ask for screw driver to unscrew the lock to get out of the room in the morning. It was quite a frightening night. I was praying all night that I don’t have to use the bathroom because the only way out of that room was the window…
