About this property

6BR/5Bath Single Story Lake Front Home at Cedar Creek w/ boat & wave runner option

A perfect retreat for family reunions, small group getaways, and memory-making on the water.

This is a quiet private neighborhood with beautiful views in every direction. The expansive back porch is the perfect place for morning coffee, enjoying afternoon conversations and evening sunsets. Many of the single family home owners are here full time making for a friendly feel around the cove. You will get a friendly wave from neighbors as they come and go on their golf carts or out for a walk. You never know-you may even see a celebrity!

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 lake

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, firepit, covered patio with sunscreens, and an outdoor TV, and expansive extended patio
• Large 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, paddle board, and kayaks
•Neighborhood boat ramp just across street-lake levels permitting.
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

Perfect for All Kinds of Gatherings:
From church retreats and scrapbook weekends to scouting trips, team-building events, or simple staycations—our space is built to bring people together.

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.

You will receive your door codes before check in after prearrival forms are complete.
We love getting to know our guest and if there is any special occasion you are celebrating. We are just a text or call away before or during your stay.

We truly enjoy hosting a memorable experience for your group. We want you to come and relax, unwind and unplug from the city or other worries. We have done our best to provide everything you need to just show up and feel right at home.

Big family fun

Lovely home, very well stocked. There is only floor so we love the fact that all the bedrooms are on the first floor!!! We were blessed with a beautiful sunset every night we were there!!! The pool table and shuffleboard were fun and we rented the boat for another fun adventure. This place is great for big family gatherings!!!

Lovely Lake House

This house was perfect for my family's summer reunion. I've rented vacation homes over years and have never found one as clean as this one. It had all the amenities we needed, and it's location was perfect, well protected from rough water. The owners were friendly and always responded promptly. I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful and peaceful property!

We really enjoyed our stay here. There was plenty of space, as we had a group of 18 and the house was fully stocked with everything we need. Clean, peaceful and right on the lack. Great host communication as well, they were very accommodating and responded quickly to any questions.

Canton Weekend

Our group of 12 adults had a great weekend. The house was spacious enough for all of us and had lots of gathering spaces - living room, eat-in kitchen, game room, back porch, fire pit, and dock. The house was very clean and well maintained. We would definitely rent this property again.

Relaxing on the lake

Fort er Cove is an amazing lake getaway!! Melissa and Tony are 5 star hosts! The house is roomy comfortable and well equipped. The cove is quiet and a great place just to relax, floating in the water. My family did enjoy the jet ski, rented a pontoon boat, kayaked and paddle boarded .Fun was had by all. We would definitely rent again.

So much fun!

We had such a great time at this rental property! The facilities were great, perfect for our big group. We decided last minute to use the kayaks and had no problems with them at all! The owners are very friendly and quick to respond. We will definitely be going back again with our group in the summer 🙌

Best house on Cedar Creek!

This house has stunning views is very clean and has all the amenities you could ask for. We stayed over the Fourth of July weekend and there was plenty of room for multiple adults to spread out and enjoy our time. The game room has a great pool table and shuffleboard! Beds were very comfortable and the A/C worked great (which was important as the temps were over 100 outside). Will definitely rent again.

Great weekend get away

We loved spending time with family and friends here. The property is beautiful with lots of space for people of different ages to engage in fun activities. The view of the lake is beautiful. The only issue we had was spiders inside and spider webs outside the property. The property can use some pest control for sure.

Amazing Property

This property gets nothing but 5 Star reviews for a reason. The property was exactly what is promised, the communication with Melissa leading up to the stay was top notch, and the home itself was so comfortable and had plenty of room for our huge family to spread out. One of the things that I loved the most was the cove that the property is on which is perfect for swimming. We brought our boat and it was super easy to get it on and off. We all wish we had a few more days there!

Fantastic family weekend

This was the perfect place for our family of 14 to have a fabulous, fun-filled weekend! The house is so spacious that everyone felt comfortable and was well furnished! We loved the large table where our family shared many meals together. The host answered our questions in a timely manner and check-in was easy. Even though the lake was down due to drought our family enjoyed the lake with kayaks and lily pad! This accommodation is truly a five star property! I would highly recommend to everyone!

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Fortner

Host profile image
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!
