About this house rental

3 story spacious lake front home with a beach home feel! You can see the lake from every room in this house! Wrap around porches on the first 2 floors and over 300 feet of lakefront to enjoy with a large yard. This property accommodates 24 in beds/pullouts but there is still room for cots/blow up mattresses if you have a larger group that prefers to spread out.
Our Cantina is a screened in area with ping pong, darts, corn hole, and a dual mini basketball. 2-story boat dock on site.



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.

We are committed to protecting our properties which is why we've partnered with Know Your Guest, 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 the week before check in.

High speed internet and 3 Smart TV's are located throughout the house. Bring your Netflix, Hulu or other streaming passwords.


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.

We have one pack and play and one high chair/booster chair on site.

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 or looking out at the stars. 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 but there is still room for cots/blow up mattresses if you have a larger group.

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. Otherwise there are mooring whips and boat cleats for you to tie onto at the dock. There is also an area to clean your fish out on the dock. The over sized upstairs dock area with string lights is another wonderful place to enjoy the panoramic views during your stay. Sunrise and Sunsets over the lake are amazing! 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.

We have a 22 foot tritoon boat that we rent out on a case by case basis if your group meets our insurance requirements. If you are interested in using this please let us know when you book your reservation. We include a tube and wake board if you are interested in getting out into the open water. If you are bringing your own watercraft, please let us know so we can best accommodate you with details of where to launch and give you water level details.

High speed internet and 3 Smart TV's are located throughout the house. Bring your Netflix, Hulu or other streaming passwords for even more entertainment options. If you have stayed at this property before, you will find even more reasons to fall in love and visit over and over again! There is also a DVD with a variety of movies available on site.

The property has a new retaining wall with over 300 feet of concrete on top. This is perfect for fishing all along the property. 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.

We are within a 5 minute drive to the closest Brookshire's grocery store and a super Walmart for any shopping on the way into town or during your stay. Location is a bonus for this home because you have the benefit of being on an almost private point on the lake with easy access to fast food restaurants such as Chicken Express, Whataburger, Starbucks, Subway and sit down dining like Chili’s. Vernon’s, W354 Upscale dining, China Cafe, Jalapeño Tree or many other local favorites.

Parking: 6 cars if double stacked in the driveway and up to 8 more depending on size on gravel. Please do not park on the street or block neighbors driveways.

This home is perfect for retreats, Indian Princess campouts, family reunions, girl scouts, boy scouts, scrapbook retreats, girls weekends, team bonding outings or just a getaway/staycation just an hour from downtown Dallas. First Monday Trade Days in Canton is only 25 minutes away. We are NOT a wedding venue, so do not try to book our home with this intent.

You may also follow us on at "Fortner Pointe at Cedar Creek" to see what is going on out at the lake.

The property itself, the spot on the lake, the views, the volleyball court etc. were perfect. The place is set up to entertain. The kitchen is very well stocked. 2 huge sinks, 2 dishwashers made cleaning up after feeding a large group very easy. We have been taking this trip with this group for 23 years now and this place is on a very short list of everyone's favorites. Boat and jet ski rentals were very easy as was everything with this owner. They are very responsive and definitely seemed to care about your stay. We would for sure rent again. Thanks for sharing your little slice of heaven with us for the weekend.

Melissa's property served our needs completely. It was exactly as advertised. When you walk in, you know you are entering a home that is used and loved and crafted for happy family times by the lake, and they are sharing their home with you. The home was clean, furnished perfectly for relaxation, the kitchen was organized, and the guestbook and instructions very clear.. Air conditioning was able to be set independently on each of the three floors, bathrooms were well stocked, pantry was well stocked, and there was laundry detergent available for us to use.. we had a large group-20,, with 10 adults and 20 kids. we felt comfortable, which shows just how large the house is. The ample deck space, grass play area, game room, dock space, paddle boards, and swim area all combine to make this quite an ideal set up for our family. We were in Texas for the eclipse and Melissa even left us a treat of eclipse-themed treats on our arrival. We were traveling with a group of nearly 40 folks, and Melissa was able to accommodate the remainder of our family in her other home on the lake, which was also superb. We highly recommend a stay at a Fortner property on cedar creek, a sleepy retreat from the bustle of Dallas or wherever you’re frying to escape:)

Overall the house is amazing, the neighbor next door is a control freak I received a email saying I guess we broke something and owners used the protection plan for damages which I agree if we did break something then it needs to be paid for but I know we didn’t but who cares . I checked everything before we left and didn’t see anything and was in contact with the owner and told her if we did please send picks and price so I could pay for it because I know it does cost a lot to have a beautiful property like this. If it’s just a couple trying to get away then I highly recommend but if you are doing a cook out with friends and family that are not staying I wouldn’t do to the experience we had.
