Come enjoy our Lake House w/ Amazing Views & Trail to Lake on 1+ Acre!

*****PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE REQUESTING TO BOOK OUR HOME*****

Come enjoy our 3000+ sq ft 5B/3B spacious home with stunning views of Lake Whiney!

Located just off FM 1713, our home sits on over 1 acre with a private, gated entrance! We have plenty of outdoor space for family fun, parking, and to accommodate all your lake toys. Launch your boat and/or jet skis just across the Katy Bridge at Cedron Creek Park! Our property backs up to Army Corps of Engineers property and does not go all the way to the lake, but there is a rocky trail leading to the lake that guests can access.

Enjoy your morning coffee, breathing the fresh air, and enjoying the view from our shaded 1000+ sq ft porch. Rain or shine, the porch is an excellent outdoor space to have fun or relax. Just off the porch, catch some rays from the uncovered deck!

Although we do NOT allow pets INDOORS, we do have a huge, fenced area for them to join you on your vacation! A pet fee of $200.00 per pet will be applied for approved pets. AN ADDITIONAL $500.00 PER PET WILL BE CHARGED IF PETS ARE BROUGHT INDOORS.

Can’t get enough of the outdoors? We do have a charcoal grill located in the garage that guests are welcome to use, but it must be used on the ground outside of the home. Please do NOT take the grill to the porch upstairs or use it on the covered porch downstairs.

Since Lake Whitney is one of the top fishing lakes in Texas offering White, Striped, Smallmouth, and Largemouth Bass, Catfish, and Crappie (to name a few), we knew we needed to have a huge outdoor sink for you to clean your catch!

Enjoy the stunning views of Lake Whitney from the 2nd level, which consists of the owners’ retreat, living room, fully stocked kitchen, laundry room with full-size washer and dryer, 2nd bedroom, and bathroom. The 1st level consists of the remaining 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a 2nd living room. Our home is perfect for multiple families to enjoy while having space to themselves when desired.

To make your stay more enjoyable, we recommend you bring the following items:
Folding chairs for downstairs use
Charcoal for pit
Firewood for the fire pit (please verify we are not under a burn ban during your stay)

Sunscreen

MARCH-OCTOBER set both thermostats to COOL 75. NOVEMBER-FEBRUARY set both thermostats to HEAT 55. Please make sure the sliding glass door downstairs is left open to the living room and the wall unit downstairs is turned off.

Make sure the sink is empty of all dishes. Dishes placed in the dishwasher need to be started.

What a great view
Once inside the house, we were taken in with the beauty of each room. Everything was tip top clean and perfect. When we stepped outside on the deck, saw the view, we were over the top impressed. What a wonderful stay we had. Plenty of room for vehicles and boats, etc. The only problem I had was I just wanted one more day! Thank you for an awesome stay in your beautiful home. Bet we're back someday.

Family Vacation
This was a wonderful house for our needs. The views were spectacular. Watching the sunset over the lake caused us to pause and admire God’s creation. Drinking coffee in the morning on the deck was peaceful and relaxing. The house was well stocked (except for trash bags) and was as described. The “trail” to the lake was overgrown and hard to navigate, we did not take the kids down to the lake (it was at flood stage anyway). There was plenty of room for our party of 17. The interior was clean and well maintained. One ply toilet paper was mentioned by a few in our group. Also the folding table in the laundry was useful.

Awesome Thanksgiving getaway
Our family converged on the lake house for a three-night stay. The kids enjoyed exploring at the lake, and we appreciated the extremely well-stocked kitchen when we cooked our Thanksgiving meal. The listing says the house sleeps 20. We could only count 15 actual beds. Thankfully, my brothers both had to back out. If they had come, I'm not sure where we would have put them at night. But other than that, the house was amazing, and we would come back again.

Beautiful and CLEAN lake home
This home was one of the cleanest VRBO's we've stayed in. The kitchen and all of the wonderful pots, pans, and utensils were perfect for us as we like to cook. The AC kept the house very cool even with the record-breaking heat. Our all-adult group of 7 had more than enough room and having access to the garage was perfect to store our boat equipment overnight. The large property made it easy to maneuver our boat and also had large covered areas for the boat and cars. Marissa was very responsive when our code didn't open the door on arrival and didn't hesitate to allow us an early arrival and late check out. We will definitely stay here again!

Amazing Place
We had so much fun at this amazing house. Plenty of room for 10 people and so nicely done. Well equipped with most anything you need in kitchen. The view from the top deck is stunning. communication with the owner was great, very prompt and nd very helpful. Location is perfect near town and near beach area and fishing. We had a 5 yr old and he had a blast on the back deck as did we all. We will for sure be booking this again in the future. Only problem we had was cold water in shower, problem controlling A/C to keep it on and the beds are all so high except for one and we are short so very hard to get on the beds LOL but will not keep us away.

Property not as expected, but we still enjoyed ourselves!
We rushed to vacate the property by the 10am check-out time, and wish they'd follow hotel check-out times of 11am or 12pm. This property has a strange floor plan! The main floor has three bedrooms with beds to sleep ten. Unfortunately, there's only ONE bathroom on that floor for TEN people to share! Upstairs is the kitchen, the main living area, and two bedrooms with a full bath for each. One bedroom is the Master Suite and has a lovely bathroom. The other bedroom has a Jack-and-Jill bathroom that connects to the kitchen. The kitchen is laid out well, has all the necessary cooking tools, and was perfect for our group! The deck off the kitchen has a beautiful view of Lake Whitney, but we had to brush the cobwebs down before we could venture out! There are two steps down to a lower deck, but the bottom step is a safety hazard 'cause it isn't marked with reflective tape. The back yard has fences dividing it into three sections. Unless guests are bringing hunting dogs, the "pens" are eyesores and take up valuable space where we could've played yard games. The property description said there's a trail to the lake, but it isn't marked! We never found the trail, so we drove across the bridge to the beach area. Looking back across the lake, we could see this property on top of a hill with a sheer, white stone wall sloping down to the lake, much like The White Cliffs of Dover. No trail was visible from that vantage point either! Thanks, but we won't book this property again.

Just Wow
Wow is all I can say. The home was beautiful, clean and spacious. We were there for my husband's 60th Birthday, so (almost) all our children and grandchildren were there too. Additional family came in on Saturday for the day to help celebrate. Everyone thought the home was beautiful. Although I brought most everything I needed, the home was very equipped with everything you could need. It was beautifully decorated and had large bedrooms. Lots and lots of space. The only thing I would say, in which I probably just didn't understand, the living space, kitchen, master was upstairs. Downstairs was just bedrooms and a bathroom other than a living space. It was a very spacious also. Very large deck with lots of outdoor furniture was overlooking the beautiful lake. Very relaxing area. All in all, our children loved it and had a blast. Thanks so much for offering your home. We tried to care for it as our own and hope to maybe come back in the future. Highly recommend to everyone!!

Spectacular house for multiple families!
Our family had a wonderful time staying here! The house is beautiful and well maintained. We had our 4 adult children and their families with us, 10 adults and 8 children, 7 and under. The yard was fun with our 3 tiered hammocks that we brought. Plenty of room for outdoor games. The hike to the lake is rocky but our 2 3-yr olds, a 4, 6, and 7 yr olds had no problem hiking it multiple times. The lake is beautiful and the kids loved throwing rocks in it. The Owner's Retreat upstairs and the king bedroom downstairs were super nice and comfortable! The kitchen was great, fully stocked. We loved the air fryer/toaster oven. The deck was so much fun! Plenty of seating out there and the view was amazing! We also enjoyed the fire pit for s'mores on a cooler night. Marissa was amazing, very responsive and helpful with any issues. We highly recommend renting this house!
