Sprawling Waterfront Haven with Private Dock & Boat Rental Option
Nestled along 300 feet of private lake frontage, this exceptional three-story retreat on Cedar Creek Lake offers an unparalleled waterfront experience. Showcasing breathtaking lake views from every room, the home features wraparound porches on the first two floors, providing a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living. A carved-out swimming area, safely tucked away from boat traffic, invites guests to enjoy the refreshing waters, while the large yard offers ample space for relaxation.
You will have contactless check in/out and issued a private door code through RemoteLock. Owners are available by phone or text during your stay.
If you would like to save time and have groceries delivered ahead of time please let us know! You can book directly with Jessica at least 4 hours ahead of your arrival.
Cedar Creek Lake is the 5th largest lake in Texas. Excellent fishing, boating, 4th of July Air Show, and lots of shops including First Monday Canton Trade Days just 25 minutes away. We are close to town so you won't need to drive 30-45 minutes around the lake if you forgot something.
The Tiki Hut at the marina and Vernon's are popular waterfront restaurants accessible by boat. Our location is just a few minutes to Walmart, Brookshire's and local restaurants.
Beyond the property, Gun Barrel City and the surrounding areas offer a variety of activities and attractions. Guests can visit Tom Finley Park for additional lake access and scenic picnic spots, or explore local dining at popular lakeside restaurants. Cedar Creek Brewery provides craft beer tastings in a laid-back atmosphere, while Purtis Creek State Park is ideal for hiking, fishing, and wildlife viewing. For a unique shopping experience, Big Daddy’s Flea Market showcases local artisans and hidden treasures. Those seeking a change of pace can take a day trip to Dallas, just over an hour away, where world-class dining, entertainment, and cultural experiences await.
We are committed to protecting our properties which is why we've partnered with Truvi, the leading vacation rental guest-screening provider. Please note that to complete your booking, you will need to verify your details and ID.
Contactless entry is available through Remote Lock. You will receive your door codes before check in after prearrival paperwork is complete.
High speed internet and 3 Smart TV's are located throughout the house. Bring your Netflix, Hulu or other streaming passwords.
Whether sipping morning coffee as the sun rises over the lake or unwinding in the evening with a breeze off the water, this home is a true sanctuary for nature lovers and lake enthusiasts alike.
Inside, the vast open-concept living space stretches over 40 feet wide, ensuring that even larger groups feel at ease. The updated kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, a built-in ice machine, a well-stocked wine rack, and a dedicated coffee bar, making every gathering effortless. With two full-sized refrigerators and an oversized pantry, there’s no shortage of storage for extended stays. Designed with a welcoming, beach-house ambiance, the home offers both comfort and sophistication, making it an ideal setting for cherished moments with family and friends.
For those seeking adventure, the private two-story boat dock serves as a hub for fishing, sunbathing, or simply taking in the panoramic lake views. A 22-foot Tritoon boat is available for rent, allowing guests to explore the expansive waters of Cedar Creek Lake at their leisure. The home’s Cantina provides an enclosed entertainment space, complete with ping pong, darts, cornhole, and a dual mini-basketball setup, ensuring fun for all ages. Whether setting out for a day on the water, enjoying a sunset from the dock, or gathering in the Cantina for friendly competition, there’s no shortage of ways to make the most of this lakefront haven.
The downstairs living space spans over 40 feet wide so you will never feel cramped even with a large group. The kitchen is updated with stainless steel appliances, cookware, dishes and even a coffee bar (so bring your favorite K cups). There is no need to run to the store since the built in ice machine produces lots of ice per day. There is a full size refrigerator stocked with your basic condiments, ground coffee, and a wine rack which includes your first bottle complimentary with your stay. You will find a large pantry to store all your groceries. There is also an extra full size fridge for extra storage of groceries during your stay.
The second floor includes a large master with a remote control fireplace and a spacious bathroom suite. There is a king bed, a cozy nook by the fireplace and two pull out twin sleeper ottomans for extra family members. There are also two other private bedrooms and a full bath on the second story.
On the third floor you will find a giant loft area with sleeping for 14, a flat screen smart TV and games. There is also a screened in porch off of the 3rd floor perfect for watching all the lakeside activities . Sleeping arrangements include 3 queen pull out Ashley sofa sleepers on the third floor and 2 twin beds in addition to the two bunk beds with queen beds on bottom and an XL twin on top of each. Every bed has Simmons Plush Top mattresses with sheets and bedding provided. This property accommodates a max of 24 in beds/pullouts.
The private boat dock is yours for enjoyment during your stay. There is one boat slip that holds up to a 22 foot boat fully covered and one jet ski slip with lifts if you bring or rent watercraft. Please let us know if you are bringing a boat and need the lift. We will do our best to accommodate if we have time and room to move our boat out for you. There are mooring whips and boat cleats for you to tie onto at the dock. The over sized upstairs dock area with string lights is another wonderful place to enjoy the panoramic views during your stay. We have just installed stairs with a handrail from the dock to the water to make getting in and out of the lake easy for people of all ages without having to climb a narrow slippery ladder.
There is also an industrial sized volleyball net with lots of room to play regulation court size volleyball matches. We have a paddle board and 2 kayaks on site that can all be rented for a nominal charge during your stay.

About the host
Hosted by Melissa Fortner
We have been married for 25 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! We hope you find this to be your happy place as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
We have been blessed to be in a family that has had 84 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 property unique
This home is 38 feet tall, the tallest structure in Gun Barrel City. It is three stories and every room has a view of the lake. Two wrap around porches and a location that offer a country feel just an hour drive from downtown Dallas.
We are also in a great location that is less than 5 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!
We have an 11 passenger 22 ft tritoon boat available on site for rent when certain insurance restrictions are met. This is a case by case basis so please inquire for availability if you are interested.
