Firefly Cottage - Lakefront Home with Huge Dock on Quiet Cove

Get away from it all at Firefly Cottage, a charming three bedroom, two bath lake front cottage. Located in a gated, lakeside community only 6.8 miles from the historic downtown Granbury square, this cottage and its charming decor are sure to help you create treasured memories with family and friends.

Nestled under a canopy of trees on a quiet cul-de-sac, Firefly Cottage offers beautiful, serene views of the water and stunning sunsets. My home is located on a quiet private cove just off the main body of Lake Granbury. The property boasts a large, partially covered boat dock that will easily accommodate the whole family. There is a fenced yard with plenty of space to run around, which is ideal for our guests that like to include their furry family members. Up to two dogs are welcome with the completed pet addendum and $50 pet fee.

In addition to a rope swing, which is a great way to launch into the refreshing waters of the lake, there is also a paddle boat which our guests can use to explore and fish the private cove. Launch your boat or jet skis for free at the community marina. Our dock has a power strap boat lift for guests that bring their own boat and a separate lift, which holds our paddle boat or can accommodate 2 jet skis.

Relax on the porch or covered boat dock while fishing and listen to the soothing sounds of nature. There is a variety of wildlife, including hummingbirds, ducks, geese, cormorants, & great blue herons. In mid to late February, each year, we have pelicans that visit our cove before they proceed on their migration North.

Rain or shine, you can still enjoy the outdoors under the covered wrap-around porch, which is home to a hand-crafted family style table that seats up to10. While you hang out or grill your dinner on the porch, enjoy a game of bags (corn hole), giant Jenga, or Connect Four. In the evenings, gather chairs around the firepit and roast marshmallows for smores and enjoy the star filled skies.

Firefly Cottage has three bedrooms: 1) The Master bedroom houses a king-size bed and bath. This bedroom decor and linens were updated in September of 2023. 2) The Kid's Room has a queen-size bed, located next to the Master bedroom and close to the kitchen. 3) The third bedroom, called the Lake View Room, now features a king-size bed and ensuite bathroom and has bay windows that look out over the lake. this bedroom was refreshed with new decor and linens in May of 2023.
There is a beautiful sunroom with a table for 8 with French doors looking out across the lake. The living room has a full-size pull-out sleeper sofa that will accommodate sleeping for two. There are additional fresh linens in the closet in the living room, and towels, toilet paper, and hair dryers are provided in each bathroom. My kitchen is fully stocked with dishware, silverware, cooking/baking supplies, spices, and about every appliance you can think of. Amenities also include a washer and dryer and iron & ironing board.

Firefly Cottage offers high-speed wireless internet (1gig), and streaming services (Netflix, Hulu+, Disney+ & ESPN+) along with local channel options on the 4 televisions. This also makes us a great option for folks who are interested in “staycationing”. If you’re going to work from home, why not do it from the lake?!

The Firefly Cottage is privately hosted, and available year-round. We allow guests to book out dates up to a year in advance so it’s the perfect choice for: spring break, fishing trips, romantic getaways (we had a wonderful couple get engaged on our dock in January of 2023), relaxing long weekends, girls trips, Memorial Day, summer vacation, 4th of July, Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas (we decorate for the holidays), New Years and more!

From fishing, hiking, biking, swimming, boating shopping, golfing, or just reading and relaxing, there are endless possibilities! Come enjoy Granbury, the lake, and the solitude of Firefly Cottage.

Great Weekend Getaway!
We were happy to spend time at this beautiful lakefront property and the fact that we could bring our two dogs was a bonus as they had the best time exploring the property. We all really appreciated the kitchen amenities (which meant less lugging of supplies). The decor was very nice and the linens were especially nice. I/we highly recommend this Granbury gem!

Wonderful Location
From the beginning to the end of our stay, we enjoyed this lake home fully! We floated in the water, watched football and movies, prepared meals to share, played cards and other games, while catching up on each others lives in the cool, comfortable home. How fabulous is that!?! Thank you Firefly Cottage, we look forward to our next visit!

The host is very responsive. We had a problem with the grill. They not only got a hold of us immediately, but brought over a different grill. The cottage is so well equipped. The place is spotless. This is our second time staying there. We plan on returning again next year.

I can’t say enough about Carolyn. I had a disaster when I booked and Carolyn went above and beyond to communicate with me. She was so patient and kind through the entire process! The cottage was perfect! It was so clean, well stocked, and every detail was thought of. The recommendations, suggestions, brochures, and ideas that Carolyn left for us were the best we’ve ever received. We would love to stay here again!

A Relaxing Time
We very much enjoyed our stay of 2 nights. My 86 mother and I wanted to fish and this rental had easy access to a wonderful dock. Everything we needed was provided and more. The bedrooms are nice, 2 king beds a plus. The only missing upgrade would be in the bathroom in the front of the home. The shower is old and showerhead was way too short for anyone over 5’9. I did not go in the other bathroom so can’t speak to that one.

Awesome experience!
Wonderful property and host! Great memories made with our granddaughter and two great grandchildren. We have stayed at many VRBO homes in different states. This home tops them all. Well appointed kitchen with everything we could have possibly needed. The beds had wonderful mattresses and the master bedroom had a great view of the lake! Great communication with our host. Would definitely stay there again!

Relaxing by the lake
We had such a relaxing, fun weekend at Firefly Cottage! It is clean and the decor is sweet and kitchen was fully loaded. Because it was just us older gals, it was nice that it was a gated community—we felt safe. Granbury is a nice little town with a lot to offer. We had a great time at the wonderful Firefly Cottage!

The property was small but lovely. Beautifully furnished and decorated. Plenty of kitchen equipment and dishes. Dock area was peaceful with plenty of chairs. The only small complaint was one of the bedrooms did not have access to a restroom without going through one of the other 2 bedrooms. Overall, highly recommend.
