The Noir

Lakefront retreat in Granbury with a private sport pool, barrel sauna, heated hot tub, kayaks, and direct water access.

The Noir is a bold, design-forward getaway created for families, couples, friends, and small groups who want to play, slow down, reconnect, and leave feeling better than when they arrived.

This is where people come to reset.

The outdoor experience is why guests book and why they return. A private sport pool with basketball and volleyball keeps the energy high during the day. Just steps away, a barrel sauna with lake views, a vintage outdoor bathing tub, and a heated hot tub create a wellness-focused setting for recovery, relaxation, and long conversations that stretch into the evening.

A four-hole putting green, kayaks, fishing area, custom fire pit with Adirondack seating, waterfront swings, and layered decks with lounge and dining spaces keep the group outside from sunrise until well after dark. At night, pool lighting and string lights transform the backyard into an entirely different experience.

Inside, the energy shifts from recreation to intention. A 16-foot wall of glass frames the water from the main living area, while a bold pink pool table anchors the space. Original artwork, hand-selected Round Top antiques, and custom design details create a stay that feels elevated, personal, and memorable.

This is not a generic decorated rental. It is a place we built.

Most people saw an aging lakeside shop. We saw the opportunity to create one of the most ambitious transformations we had ever taken on. What stands here now is the result of vision, grit, creativity, and heart.

Built, not bought.

The Noir has three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Permanent beds sleep 10 guests:

• Primary bedroom: king bed, sleeps 2
• Front bedroom: king bed, twin bed, and twin trundle, sleeps 4
• Bunk room: four twin beds, sleeps 4

For larger groups, the home also includes one 8-inch queen fold-out floor mattress for up to two guests and two 6-inch twin tri-fold floor mattresses for one guest each.

Maximum occupancy is 14 guests. Groups larger than 10 should carefully review the sleeping arrangements before booking, as the additional sleeping options are portable floor mattresses rather than permanent bedroom beds.

The Noir has a single-level barndominium-style layout, high-speed mesh WiFi throughout, a full kitchen, washer and dryer, smart TV, fireplaces, and an EV charger available to registered guests for an additional fee. Charging must be authorized in advance and is not included in the nightly rate.

Located approximately 2 minutes from Warren’s Backyard, 10 minutes from Historic Granbury Square, 45 minutes from Fort Worth, and about 1 hour from DFW International Airport, The Noir offers a distinctive lake escape within easy reach of North Texas.

The Noir is ideal for guests searching for a lakefront vacation rental in Granbury, a Granbury lake house with a private pool, a Lake Granbury rental with a hot tub and sauna, or a Texas wellness retreat within easy reach of Fort Worth and Dallas.

Need more space? The Noir can also be paired with neighboring Life of the Modern Nomads properties for larger private group stays. Pool and backyard access remain private to registered Noir guests unless a combined reservation specifically states otherwise.

Quiet hours begin at 10 PM. No parties or events. No pets. Smoking and drug use are prohibited indoors and outdoors. The minimum age of the primary renter is 24. ICE: Ice is not provided at the property. Guests should plan to bring or purchase bagged ice as needed. Refrigerator ice makers, where present, are not guaranteed to be operational.

Children and infants are welcome, but guests should carefully consider the property’s unfenced waterfront, pool, hot tub, sauna, kayaks, fire pit, swings, and layered outdoor areas. Children must be actively supervised at all times.

Before booking, please note that all guests complete a brief verification process, sign a standard rental agreement, and place a refundable security hold on a credit card. The hold is not a charge and is released after checkout when no damage or rule violations are reported.

This is not a typical lake stay. It is a place designed for people to play, slow down, reconnect, and leave feeling better than when they arrived.

We would be honored to host you.
