Tool House | A secret Hideaway in Great Lake Home with a view

2 Bedroom House in Tool, Trinidad

Escape the hustle and recharge at our peaceful 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom lake retreat nestled on a serene ½-acre cul-de-sac lot in Hidden Harbor near Cedar Creek Lake. Shaded by mature oak trees and featuring a cozy fire pit, this rural haven is perfect for lake lovers, families, couples, or anyone seeking rest and relaxation in a quiet, homey setting.
While the property is just one house from the lake, water access is via public docks and access points throughout the area. There are several public swimming spots and marinas nearby, and boat rentals are easy to arrange via boatrentusa.com.
This is a home away from home – not perfect, but loved – and we welcome guests to enjoy it the way we do.
In all honesty, we know the carpets need to be replaced. It's on our to-do list as part of future renovations. In the meantime, we hope you'll enjoy this lower-cost rental home with all the amenities you need for a comfortable and memorable stay.

Fireworks – Help Yourself!
We keep a small stash of fireworks in the garage – feel free to light up the night and enjoy a little celebration, safely and responsibly.
Just be sure to follow local guidelines and check for any active burn bans (usually posted at the entrance to Hidden Harbor). Please replace any that you use. We do ask that you find a safe place to use them, and do not use them on the property. Find somewhere that will not disturb the neighbors. Thank you in advance.

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Loved the peace and quite! The place was clean and tidy, and the bed was comfortable. We cooked our own food and everything you need is there utensil wise. The wife and I have always wanted to move to the country and for us this little place provides an awesome taste of that. We will definitely rent again!

Summary: Everything was great. Location and price was great for Canton shopping weekend.

Alicya C. Oct 15, 2024 01:44:47 AM

Summary: House was amazing and comfortable. Had everything we needed for our long weekend stay. I loved all the corky funny signs all over the house. Made me feel right at home. One recommendation would be a step by step map of where the light switches are and what goes to what. After 3 days I still don’t think I knew where all the switches were or what switch went to what light 😂

Mike T. Oct 7, 2024 08:14:01 AM

Summary: Nice stay. Roads bumpy, driveway tight for trucks and boats. TV reception flakey. Rooms nice. Kitchen and den nice too.

Elaine J. Sep 3, 2024 04:44:42 AM
