6Bedroom 5Bath Single Story Lake Front Home at Cedar Creek with boat option

Welcome to Fortner Cove at Cedar Creek Lake
A perfect retreat for family reunions, small group getaways, and memory-making on the water.

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 channel.

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, gas firepit, covered patio, and a second outdoor TV
• Expansive 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, and kayaks

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

Neighborhood Feel:
Nestled in a quiet, friendly, and private neighborhood with full-time residents. Enjoy peaceful mornings, scenic lake views, and the occasional wave from neighbors cruising by in golf carts. It’s even been known to host the occasional celebrity sighting!

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

Important Notes:
• We proudly maintain a neighborhood without mobile homes—a unique distinction for Cedar Creek Lake
• Maximum of 8–9 vehicles in the driveway; no street parking or blocking neighbors’ access
• Security cameras are in use outside only—never in private areas
• All guests must follow house rules; no parties, underage drinking, or unsupervised youth gatherings allowed
• Primary renter must be 25+, ID required; guest screening is done through Know Your Guest

Perfect Getaway Spot for All

This really is a great spot for family and friends. Enough space for all to enjoy and careful considerations from the owners including games, rotating pantry plus lots of fridge space! The kids loved the pool table and the adults loved the large firepit. A little something for everyone in your group.

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.

Great rental property!

The house is large, very clean inside, well-stocked with linens/towels/everything kitchen, and has AMAZING VIEWS of the lake. There were 12 of us and we had ample room to spread out. Groceries, liquor store, and other necessary amenities are nearby. The owners were easy to reach and very accommodating. Highly recommend!

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.

Great memories, views, and hosts

Property was undergoing some updates but we asked and the host opened it up for our large family attending a wedding near buy, scheduled work ahead of our trip and communicated the status of what would be done before we arrived. This property is beautiful, great views, and has everything you want for a large family retreat. The hosts were wonderful and made the whole process clear and easy!

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.
