Family trip

We enjoyed our short stay at the Home away from Home. Left a day early due to weather. The views of the sunset from the deck are amazing! The deck is really a great place to hang out and relax. Walking down to the water is a hike but the water in the cove is deep and a fine swimming spot.

My kids begged to stay longer

The house was clean and had everything you would need. Plenty of dishes and cookware. Even though the hike down to the lake was pretty rough, we LOVED having our own little private lake access. The road to the driveway is very steep and broken on both sides, don’t drive your car if it’s lowered like my husband did lol. We also loved the master suite!

Great place to say and have family fun with your grandkids.

We had plenty of room for everyone to sleep and could cook easily at anytime when they were hungry. We would highly recommend this place to other people.

We had a really nice, relaxed time. Plenty of beds and a great lake access.

The back deck had more than enough chairs and a beautiful view of the lake. We had a really relaxed Thanksgiving, with plenty of room for our large family.

Great times had here! It’s perfect for a boys getaway, with a great view of the lake, and a chill porch. The drive up is a bit sketch, but it’s a great place to stay for a no frills lake trip.

family vacation

We had a family group of 9 staying, house was plenty big for all of us. Getting down to the lake was difficult for a couple of the members of our party, was just unable to make it down definitely need to be fit to make your way down!! Swimming and playing in the was great for those that did make it down. fishing wasnt great, but weather played a big part in that can't control when & where the fish bite!! On arrival house was a little dirty but nothing major. Overall we had a great vacation, communication was great with owner always quick to answer any questions.

Perfect location for a relaxing retreat getaway

Hosted our organizations spiritual formation retreat for 3 days and this was a perfect location. Barbara was quick to respond to every question. We are so grateful to have had a quiet space with ample room to spread out and have a view of the lake.

About the host

Hosted by Barbara

Host profile image
I discovered Lake Whitney with some friends of mine some 20 years ago. I fell in Love with it's Natural & Unspoiled Beauty. The Cliffs & Limestone Rocks are great for fishing Or Diving. The Lake is so Clean & Clear. The Fishing is Great, Boating, Skying is also Great. You can Ski forever & never see any other Boats. Lake Whitney is a well kept Secret. Its has some very nice State Parks & Camping sites.I have some other friends that invited me to Lake Whitney for July 4th Holiday. I was hooked I was determined to find me a place. It is very hard to find a Water Front Lake House you can actually walk down to the water, most are Cliff Hanging Lots which are Beautiful to, but I wanted to be able to walk down to the Water. I bought the Lake House over 10 Years ago. I have a Great View & it is very nice & peaceful. It has all been updated with 45' Deck.I plan to retire there some day.. .

Why they chose this property

Lake Whitney is very quiet & peacefull.The Lake is one of the most Beautifull Lakes In Texas. Lake Whitney has been voted one of The Best Lakes in Texas with all of it's Parks & Camp Ground's. They even have Equestrian Trails for Horseback riding.It is vey close to Dallas/Ft Worth area little over 1 Hour Drive to the Metroplex.

What makes this property unique

When you pull into the driveway you see the Lake & you begin to relax. It has a Great View of Lake Whitney from the 45' Deck & every room in the Lake Home.The Neighborhood is a nice place to walk & watch the Squirrels, Birds chirping. You can actually see the Falling Stars in the Black Clear Sky at night.
