The remarkable thing is that there are people who pay attention to the small details that go into making a vacation home. A superb experience. Thank you so much for all the memories we were able to make

Our group of students and leaders stayed here for the second time for a training and planning retreat for our church's Hope Squad - a peer-to-peer mental health support program. The owners were very generous and accommodating in allowing us to use their space. The house is great for large groups, plenty of space and super easy lake access! It was super clean, comfortable and inviting. We are so grateful to the Fortners and will be back again next year!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2025
We had a great reunion with our TCU friends at the “Pointe.” It is a fantastic place to host family, friends etc. with probably one of the best views on the lake. The house had everything you could want or need. Super comfortable beds, great bathroom facilities, amazing kitchen. So well stocked for large groups. The open living room was a great place to cool off in the heat of the day. We spent most of the day floating in the lake. The lily pad was worth the extra fee. At night the screened in cantina was a place for all of us to sit, laugh, play darts etc. and catch up.The check-in and instructions were easy and thorough. The Fortner’s were fantastic hosts and helped us relive old memories and make new ones. I can’t imagine a better venue on Cedar Creek Lake with so much space with a beautiful house and grounds.
6 / 10Average·Jun 2022
Reservation process was excellent. Property owner communicated with me nicely. House is 3 stories, but there are no bedrooms on the first floor which was a challenge for the senior members of our family. Second floor had 3 bedrooms, and the 3rd floor had a huge room with several beds of all sizes. This meant 4 of our married couples had to sleep on 3rd floor with all the kids. It is a beautiful setting, but the water was so low fishing was impossible. The kids and adults had a wonderful time playing in the water.
