About this cottage rental

Nestled in Granbury, this lovely cottage for £151 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. 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.

My sister and I surprised our mom for her 75th birthday. The location was perfect. It was quiet and so peaceful being right on the water. It was a very cold weekend so we stayed inside but we hope to come back in the summer and enjoy all the outdoor activities. Inside, it was very spacious, decorated beautifully, cozy beds, and everything you could possibly need for entertainment and cooking. We had the best time! I loved all the outdoor lighting. The owner let us check in early and checked in on us which I thought was so sweet. We will definitely stay here again.

We decided to stay at the Firefly Cottage for a post holiday retreat with our parents since its near Granbury. The cottage was so cozy and festively decorated. Carolyn was a great host and provided the best hospitality during our stay. The kitchen was perfectly stocked with all of our cooking needs. We enjoyed the lakeside view and even built a fire in the provided fire pit. The beds were so comfortable. We can’t wait to return during the warmer months.

We stayed at Firefly Cottage during the Christmas Holiday. It was very clean inside and out. The host decorated for the holiday and was available for anything we might have needed. I cannot say enough great things about the overall experience. We want to return in the summer and enjoy the all the outdoor amenities. A solid 5 review from our family !

This is the 4th time we have been to Granbury. This is our favorite house so far. The view of the lake is amazing. It was only 15-20 from all our favorite places.

Thanksgiving weekend with family. Enjoyed the location, the dock, the fire pit, the grill, and the corn hole. This is certainly a lake house and nothing fancy, but We really had a wonderful time together at Firefly. The lot is extensively tree covered. The dock is well lit and spacious and the view faces west so great sunsets. The covered patio is large and very usable (we played corn hole every night). The only (slight) negative is the size of the two bathrooms. This is the most stocked kitchen/pantry we've ever experienced in a short term rental. Communication with the owner was also excellent. All in all, we would return again.

Decided to use VRBO for our son’s soccer tournament in Granbury instead of a hotel. We decided on the Firefly Cottage because it looked amazing and we could go fishing. The cabin was amazing. Clean with everything we needed to cook, keep kids entertained and have room for ourselves. The beds were very comfortable. Carolyn was a fantastic host, started communicating as soon as we booked the rental. We will going this route for now on for tournaments, and if we are in Granbury, will try to get the Firefly Cottage.
