About 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!
Melissa Fortner purchased this House in 2018
Why Melissa Fortner chose Gun Barrel City
We have been blessed to be in a family that has had 82 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 hundreds of homes to choose from, but this one stood out as THE one that we could envision many future memories being made with friends and family. We have named it Fortner Point to keep the name in the family since we have three girls that will someday marry and leave their maiden names behind.
What makes this House unique
This home is 38 feet tall, the tallest structure in Gun Barrell City. It is three stories and every room has a view of the lake. Two wrap around porches and a location on the end of the channel offer a country feel less than an hours drive from downtown Dallas.

Exceptional home for a group vacation..
This is a wonderful house and property located along the Cedar Creek Reservoir Lake. The house is great for large family and friends gatherings.The house fit all of us very comfortably and there was still room to fit more. The home was very clean and had everything we needed during our stay. Everything about the property was great. NO problems at all. The owners went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed when we needed it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Thank you for your review! Our goal is to make our home a place for families to visit over and over again. We appreciate your kind words!
Wonderful place to relax and unwind
This is a great family friendly property. We enjoyed our time at the lake despite the weather. The home is very cozy, lots of games to keep us entertained and the fuzzy blankets were great for watching movies in front of the fireplace. We will definitely be back. A definite 5 star rating and great attention to detail for a wonderful stay!
Great place!
We had a blast! Plenty of space inside and out. Tons of comfy places to sleep. Would definitely come back
We would be happy to have you back again!
Overall very good
It is a very good house and every one in our group enjoyed the house and location.
My family and I all enjoyed our stay at the lake!
The property was just the right size, beautiful well-equipped home in which my family all felt comfortable. We had a joyful time.
Fantastic! !
We all commented on the beauty of this house. The color scheme was refreshing. Very beachy and fun. It had all the necessity of home. We did not need anything, it was all provided. Loved the ice maker and cantina. The owner was quick to respond every time. We felt the price was equal to the value. Highly recommend the location and home.
Thank you for your review! We would be happy to host your family again! We love the beach so this is our little piece of waterfront while still living in the middle of Texas!
Map
This property is right on the edge of town so if you want to enjoy a night in town at a restaurant you are just minutes away or else you can make a quick trip to the grocery store or Walmart for all your necessities without winding around the entire lake just to get back to town. Walmart and Brookshires are less than 5 miles away. Yet, you are secluded out on the point so you can relax away from city life. Canton Trade Days is only a short 20 minute drive straight up Highway 198.
