  • The Space
    Step into a world of intentional design! From the moment you pass through the oversized front door, you're greeted by stunning views of Cedar Creek Lake through floor-to-ceiling windows. The motorized shades are there for when you want privacy, but let's be real-you'll want to keep those views front and center.

    The cottage's natural limestone exterior and vibrant color-coded trellis reflect the grace of its namesake, the cardinal. Soak up the sunset, or catch an early morning breeze-this cottage is your cozy retreat, no matter the time of day.

    Modern Kitchenette
    Small but mighty, the galley-style kitchenette offers everything you need with custom wood cabinetry, glass tiles, and a sleek quartz countertop. Whether you're chilling drinks in the Sub-Zero mini-fridge, making a quick snack in the microwave, or brewing your morning coffee with the Keurig, you'll feel right at home.

    Living Space
    Rest easy on the queen-sized adjustable bed, complete with custom linens so comfy you'll want to sleep in every morning. If you need extra storage, the floor-to-ceiling cabinetry has you covered. And the best part? The motorized shades offer uninterrupted lake views right from bed. Oh, and did we mention the bed has a vibration feature? Yeah, you're not going to want to leave.

    Chill Zone (Sitting Area)
    Need a little "you" time? The custom swivel chairs are perfect for lounging as you take in the cottage's art collection (gathered over 30 years). Whether you're watching the sunrise or diving into a good book, this sitting area is designed for max relaxation.

    Modern Bathroom
    The bathroom is your personal spa with a marble-tiled shower, quartz vanity, and a large oversized mirror-perfect for those post-lake freshen-ups. Let the natural light pour in while you wrap yourself in plush Turkish towels.

    Private Patio
    Step out onto your private patio and be greeted by panoramic lake views. Enjoy dinner cooked on your Weber gas grill, or cozy up by your very own personal fire feature. Whether it's morning coffee or evening stargazing, this spot has all the good vibes.

    Perks & Amenities
    Beyond the comfort of your cottage, Sunrise Point is loaded with fun and relaxation. Take a dip in the pool or unwind in the hot tub. Challenge your partner to a friendly match on the pickleball court, or lounge lakeside while watching the sunset.

    Other shared amenities include:

    Lakeside gas fire pit with seating for 8
    Horseshoe pit and putting green for a little friendly competition
    Disc golf, paddleboards, and kayaks for some fun on the water
    Two hammocks for ultimate relaxation
    Outdoor dining under the lighted oaks, perfect for group meals

    Guest Access
    Feel free to explore the entire three-acre peninsula's all yours to enjoy. You might even spot some local wildlife like deer, foxes, or bald eagles!
