About this property

Sauna Retreat on the Water | Lakefront Pool • 12

Lakefront wellness retreat with a sauna, cold plunge, and hot tub on the water. The Noir sits at the convergence of Long Creek, Lake Granbury, and the Brazos River, delivering one of the most complete outdoor recovery and recreation experiences on Lake Granbury near Fort Worth and the DFW metroplex.

This is where people come to reset.

The outdoor environment is the reason guests book and the reason they come back. A full sport pool with basketball and volleyball keeps the energy high during the day. Just steps away, a barrel sauna with glass lake views, a vintage cold plunge tub, and a heated hot tub create a true hot-cold circuit designed for recovery, relaxation, and long conversations that stretch into the night. A four-hole putting green, kayaks, a fishing station, a custom fire pit with Adirondack seating, adult swings at the water’s edge, and layered decks with lounge and dining spaces keep the entire group outside from sunrise through well past dark. At night, LED lighting and string lights shift the entire property into a completely different experience.

There is nothing else like this on Lake Granbury.

Inside, the tone shifts from energy to intention. A 16-foot wall of glass frames the water from the main living space. A bold pink pool table anchors the room. Original artwork created in collaboration with a local Texas artist and hand-selected Round Top antiques are layered throughout the home. In the primary suite, a custom-built headboard and neon-lit accents create a space that feels both personal and designed.

This is not a decorated rental. It is a place we built.

Most people walked this property and saw an old lakeside shop. We saw the foundation for one of the most ambitious transformations we have ever taken on. What stands here now is the result of that vision, built with intention, grit, and a lot of heart.

Built, not bought.

The Noir sleeps 10 comfortably, up to 12 with rollouts. Single-level barndominium layout. High-speed mesh WiFi throughout. EV charger on site. The only lakefront vacation rental on this stretch of Lake Granbury with a sauna, cold plunge, and sport pool on the same waterfront property.

Warren's Backyard is 2 minutes away. Historic Granbury Square is 10 minutes. Fort Worth is 45 minutes. DFW International Airport is about one hour.

The Noir can be paired with The Blanc next door as a private two-home lakefront compound for up to 30 guests. Expanded configurations through La Vie Lake Retreat and La Maison du Lac accommodate up to 54 guests across multiple homes on the same street.

Maximum 12 guests. Quiet hours 10 PM. Smoke-free and drug-free indoors and outdoors. Minimum renter age 24.

This is not a typical lake stay. It is a place people come to feel better when they leave than when they arrived.

A quick note before you book: All guests complete a brief verification after booking, which includes signing a standard rental agreement and placing a refundable security hold on a credit card. The hold is not a charge — it posts as pending approximately two days before arrival and releases automatically after checkout, assuming no damage. Everything is handled securely through our booking system and is standard across all reservations.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Wonderful reunion

We had a great time with a family reunion. Everything was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked with pans and dishes. The location was perfect for us. Easy to find but not around a lot of traffic. We had plenty of parking. A great place to stay.

Beautifully decorated barndominium

This was such a fun property. The decor was amazing, the furniture super comfortable, & there were numerous extra touches that made this property so special. Additionally, there were notes posted to provide information about using the hot tub and kayaks, as well as all switches identified. The property owners went above & beyond to provide all the information we needed.

Girls Trip

We absolutely loved this property and would visit again. The only recommendation would be to list further details on the sleeping arrangements noting that the top bunk beds weight limit is for 150 pounds. Most adults weigh more than 150 pounds so we had to have someone sleep on the couch. Overall, the experience was wonderful.

About the host

Hosted by Jenna

Host profile image
We are Ty and Jenna, the founders of Life of the Modern Nomads. Ty spent over 20 years as a luxury custom home builder before we made the shift into hospitality. Jenna is a designer, entrepreneur, and the founder of Winton and Waits, a boutique lifestyle brand with locations in Fort Worth and Aledo. Together we build, design, and host every property in this collection ourselves. Nothing is outsourced. Nothing is accidental. Every detail in every home was chosen by us, for a reason.

We have lived and worked in the Fort Worth and Granbury area for nearly 30 years. We are not investors who manage properties from a distance. We are locals who know this region deeply, care about it genuinely, and take personal pride in every stay that happens inside one of our homes.

Our background in custom home building means we approach hospitality the way a builder approaches a custom project. The finish level matters. The layout matters. The way a space makes you feel the moment you walk in matters. We do not cut corners and we do not settle for good enough. That standard is visible in every property we host and it is the reason guests come back.

We are glad you found us and we look forward to taking care of you.

Life of the Modern Nomads

Why they chose this property

Most people walked this property and saw an aging lakeside shop with good bones and a great view.

We saw something completely different.

We saw the opportunity to build a place centered around how people actually want to spend time together when they get away—outside, moving, recovering, and staying connected long after the sun goes down.

The Noir was built as one of the most ambitious transformations we have ever taken on. Every decision, from the sport pool to the sauna and cold plunge to the layout of the outdoor spaces, was made to create a property that feels different the moment you arrive and even more so the longer you stay.

This is not a traditional lake house, and it was never meant to be one. It is a place designed for energy during the day, recovery in the evening, and a pace that naturally slows everything down without ever feeling still.

Built, not bought. Designed with intention.

~ Jenna and Ty

What makes this property unique

A true lakefront wellness retreat built around a complete hot–cold circuit on the water. A barrel sauna with glass lake views, a vintage cold plunge tub, and a heated hot tub sit within steps of each other, creating a recovery experience that is typically only found in high-end wellness resorts, not private lake houses.

A full sport pool with built-in basketball and volleyball anchors the backyard, paired with a large tanning ledge designed for all-day use. At night, integrated LED lighting and string lights transform the entire space into a completely different environment, extending the experience well beyond sunset.

A layered outdoor layout designed for movement and flow. From the elevated deck with lounge seating and dining, to the water’s edge fire pit with Adirondack chairs, to adult swings positioned directly on the shoreline, to a dedicated fishing station and four kayaks staged for immediate use, the property is built to keep groups outside without needing to think about where to go next.

Located at the convergence of Long Creek, Lake Granbury, and the Brazos River, offering panoramic water views, direct lake access, and a natural setting that feels private while remaining just minutes from town.

A bold, design-forward interior that matches the energy of the exterior. A pink pool table anchors the main living space, surrounded by original artwork created in collaboration with a local Texas artist and curated Round Top antiques. In the primary suite, a custom-built headboard and neon-lit accents create one of the most recognizable and photographed rooms in the collection.

Part of a larger lakefront compound. The Noir sits directly next to The Blanc, allowing both homes to be booked together for up to 30 guests. Expanded group configurations through La Vie Lake Retreat and La Maison du Lac accommodate up to 54 guests across multiple homes on the same street.
