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, dryer, 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?!
