About this property
6BR/5Bath Single Story Lake Front Home at Cedar Creek w/ boat & wave runner option
Welcome to Fortner Cove at Cedar Creek Lake
A perfect retreat for family reunions, small group getaways, and memory-making on the water.
This spacious 3,800 sq ft single-story home features 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms—three of which are private en-suites—ideal for multi-generational families or groups seeking both comfort and privacy. Located on a peaceful cove with 96 feet of waterfront and an open water view, it offers the serenity of lake life without the noise and traffic of the main channel.
Highlights of the Home:
• Two generous living areas and a large game room with pool table, shuffleboard, and a 65” smart TV
• Backyard with lake views, gas firepit, covered patio, and a second outdoor TV
• Expansive yard with shade trees—perfect for hammocks, outdoor games (corn hole, horseshoes), and firepit gatherings
• Boathouse with upper and lower deck seating, boat slip, jet ski slip, and mooring whips for guest tie-ups
• Optional rentals: Tritoon boat (for qualified guests), lily pad, and kayaks
Comfort Meets Convenience:
• Contactless check-in via Remote Lock with your own unique access code
• Just minutes to Brookshire’s, Walmart, and a variety of local restaurants and fast food options
• Quick boat ride to waterfront dining at Vernon’s, Tiki Hut, and Lou Lou’s Ice Cream
Neighborhood Feel:
Nestled in a quiet, friendly, and private neighborhood with full-time residents. Enjoy peaceful mornings, scenic lake views, and the occasional wave from neighbors cruising by in golf carts. It’s even been known to host the occasional celebrity sighting!
Perfect for All Kinds of Gatherings:
From Indian Princess retreats and scrapbook weekends to scouting trips, team-building events, or simple staycations—our space is built to bring people together.
Important Notes:
• We proudly maintain a neighborhood without mobile homes—a unique distinction for Cedar Creek Lake
• Maximum of 8–9 vehicles in the driveway; no street parking or blocking neighbors’ access
• Security cameras are in use outside only—never in private areas
• All guests must follow house rules; no parties, underage drinking, or unsupervised youth gatherings allowed
• Primary renter must be 25+, ID required; guest screening is done through Know Your Guest
Booking & Savings:
While you’re welcome to book instantly through VRBO, we also offer secure direct booking through Hostfully—saving you hundreds in fees. Visit us directly by typing FortnerPointe into your browser. Repeat guests enjoy discount rates and special offers.

About the host
Hosted by Melissa Fortner
We have been married for over 20 years and have always enjoyed vacationing with each other, extended family and friends. We are very excited to provide a home away from home for our family and yours!
Why they chose this property
We have been blessed to be in a family that has had 85 consecutive years of having a family reunion on the lake. There have been many wonderful memories made with multiple generations each year. We want the tradition to continue. We are beyond blessed to purchase this property that will be in the family for generations to come and bless many others along the way. There were many of homes to choose from, but one that we could envision many future memories being made with friends and family. We have named it Fortner Cove to keep the name in the family since we have three girls that will someday marry and leave their maiden names behind.
We have a sister property on the lake that we have owned since 2018 and have fallen in love with lake life! Need space for an even larger group? Rent both-they are just minutes apart! Check us out directly at fortnerpointe.com

What makes this property unique
Just an hour from Dallas this home is an easy place for a quick getaway on the water. It is rare to find a 6 bedroom home that is single story. This makes for a great place to entertain those that don’t enjoy going up and down the stairs or for multigenerational groups to gather.
We are on in the middle of a quaint cove that offers calmer waters for fishing/swimming and water play while still seeing the open waters of Cedar Creek lake. We are an easy boat drive straight across the lake to the marina and Tiki Hut or boat over to Vernon’s for additional lakeside dining.
We are also in a great location that is minutes to town for shopping or a quick Walmart run rather than a 30-40 minute drive from other parts of the lake. This house is the total package for your group!
