Firefly Cottage - Lakefront Cottage 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 7 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 strap style 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, making it one of my favorite times of the year.

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 to ten. 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 ensuite bathroom. 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, features a king-size bed and ensuite bathroom and has bay windows that look out over the lake.

There is a lovely window lined sunroom with a dining table for 8.
The French doors give views of the lake, patio and dock. There is also a small sofa for additional comfy seating. This is the perfect place to enjoy some family game nights as well. We have a good selection of family friendly games and puzzles to enjoy.

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, dryer, iron & ironing board.

Firefly Cottage offers high-speed wireless internet. This 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?! For your indoor entertainment we provide streaming services (Netflix, Hulu+, Disney+ & ESPN+) for the 4 televisions. Local channels can be viewed on Hulu.

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, family vacations, 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! We require a 2 night minimum stay during most of the year, 3 night minimum stay during the high season and certain holidays.

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

Our family had a wonderful time at Firefly Cottage! Carolyn truly thought of everything and made us feel exceptionally welcome, down to the keepsake ornament that we will treasure as a memory of our trip. The cottage was very clean, well-stocked, and decorated beautifully for the holidays. Sipping coffee by the lake every morning was a highlight. We highly recommend this property and we hope to be back soon.

The cottage was decorated so cute and was very clean. I always bring a blanket to put on the furniture, so my dog doesn't get hair everywhere, but the owner had already put covers on the furniture. I appreciated that! My only complaint is I didn't get to enjoy the dock/yard during the day as I was gone all day to a K9 training seminar. It was truly lovely, and Carolyn was so very thoughtful.

Loved the cozy, comfortable, 'lake' decor. The host responded immediately to any questions we had. Everything was labeled and easy to find (except for the pantry, which was right in front of our eyes, we had a good laugh at ourselves). The host provided some amazing recommendations. Oh, and I can't forget to mention the 'cowgirl' bedroom, YEEHAW!

The kitchen is well equipped with appliances and the house is clean and met all our needs. We really enjoyed sitting on the dock relaxing. The gated community also gave us a secure feeling. Granbury is a friendly town with many restaurants and cafes to choose from. The host, Carolyn, is very hospitable and easy to contact. Firefly is an excellent lake house.

The kitchen setup was by far one of the best. Appliances, cooling utensils, all items easy to find with labels on every cabinet. Down to the instructions for coffee maker and mugs that were lakeside perfect for a chill morning. Easy water access for paddleboarding, we brought our inflatable ones and enjoyed the quiet cove. Perfect get away lake house for friends and family. We will be back to try out giant connect four and the lily pad. Thanks again!
