    Keyless Entry Self Check-in Property



    Get out of the city and come on down to Lake Whitney! Great location to get away from the hustle and bustle of the D/FW metroplex and unwind with family and friends. With its 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, this property easily accommodates up to 6 guests. There are multiple marinas and boat ramps nearby if you want to bring your boat and cruise the lake for the day. We look forward to you coming in and enjoying our lake property.





    Be sure to ask about our other properties around the area, if you have more guests wanting to come than what the occupancy of the property will hold, and depending on availability. Property is situated adjacent to the Rustic Star Ranch (which can be rented separately) with both properties accommodating up to 21 guests.

The property was welcoming to pets. The lack of rugs.carpet made it a bit challenging for our older corgi, Winn Dixie to walk well (without traction) through the house, Host was east to reach and communicate with, the kitchen was well appointed, with everything we needed at our fingertips. Beds were comfy, shower was appropriately powerful. Very nice stay. Would return.

Comfortable house near the Lake. Nicely decorated and the kitchen was well stocked. The roads were a little rough, I'd recommend a 4 wheel drive or a vehicle that sits up high. The owner was very helpful and quick to respond.

Great getaway!

Really nice, new property a short walk from a lake. Really enjoyed playing in the yard. The property is either really new or really well maintained. Beds are a bit high for young kids, and otherwise everything was perfect for a family of 4

Family friendly and great location

Jeff was very communicative. Place was clean and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. I wish there were extra bedding and I wish the WiFi was not so spotty. If you have to do any work from this property, just know the WiFi is very unreliable.

Beds were super comfy, slept all night 1st time in a very long time. Owner was quick to respond. The only thing i was disappointed about was the “path” to the lake. It was more of a downhill, all rock creek bed. Other that that it was all good.

Worked out well for us. It is a little difficult to find initially but owner answered right away and got us there. Kitchen could use a few more things like a bottle opener and can opener as well as a microwave safe plate or dish. Overall very nice and clean.

Nice Property Pet Friendly

The property itself is very nice. Everything is new. Loved the pet friendly and the fenced area for our dogs. Overall, we enjoyed the peace & quiet. It was worth the money we spent. On the flip side, there are a couple of things the owner needs to address. The "access" to the lake is not a safe path. I don't recommend anyone take this path, it is dangerous. There are no smoke or carbon monoxide detectors. There was a septic tank leaking gray water, which drained directly into the path we had to take to get to the fenced dog area. Just a couple of detractions to an otherwise lovely property.

Modern, clean, cute cabin. Perfect for families or couples. It is secluded behind another property in a quiet area, which is nice. I will say that if you are bringing a boat, be aware it is extremely difficult to back it in down the road (more like an alleyway) and into the driveway given the tight location.
