We are 10 minutes from downtown Whitney with local shops and dining. Our location is less than a 90 minute drive from DFW area, under an hour from Waco and no more than two hours from Austin.

Below are links where you can find "things to do" and "places that rent boats" on Lake Whitney. I would call and reserve your boat before your dates to make sure they have one available.

Perfect for a girls weekend

It was a rainy weekend but, we still had a great time enjoying the view. The place had everything we needed and when we ran out of TP, they quickly dropped some off for us. We will definitely be back.

Peaceful Getaway

We had a great, relaxing long weekend getaway at the cottage. Very clean and comfortable. No issues whatsoever. Views were amazing. Quiet cul-de-sac, friendly neighbors. Trail to the water is steep, but manageable. Can't wait to come back!

A small slice of paradise

Everything was as exactly as described except one thing - THE LOCATION! The cottage sits a ways higher than the lake, and the view from the backyard really was picturesque. The real gem, however, was the rock-paved cove that led down to our own semi-private crystal clear water beach. This alone is reason to stay here again and again. We cannot wait to go back!

This little cabin was clean. It had everything we needed. The only problem was finding our way in and out. The is a restaurant call Serenity Cafe. The catfish is wonderful. The pieces are large the frys are hand cut. So go check out this sweet hinden gem.

Ute little house

It was very apparent that a lot of love and thoughtfulness went into the appearance and decorating of this home. There were so many cute little touches that made it feel warm and cared about. We were only there for a few nights and really didn’t cook a lot so I can’t really say how well stocked the kitchen was, but it appeared to be very well stocked. And clean, clean clean this place was spotless and that is important to us. The only downsides that we have is the Internet connection was very poor. When we finally contacted the property managers, they said it was due to the storm that was there. There was a very large storm so we Went with that. But the next day when it was absolutely beautiful and sunny it still wasn’t good we could only get my phone connected not my Husband‘s or either of our iPads. And the television streaming was also quite poor. I would recommend that you put window coverings on the kitchen, windows and door. I didn’t like sitting in the evening without any privacy, even though that side of the house was remote to most everybody. The beds were comfortable and I loved sitting in your recliner chair. Thank you.
