About this house rental
*****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 Whitney!
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)
Goodies for S’mores (you can’t forget the important lake staples!)

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
We have done a family Fourth of July getaway over the last several years. This property was wonderful. Plenty of room for everyone.The house is well stocked with just about anything you would need. With our group a few extra towels were needed, but that’s never an issue since we always have beach towels with us. Over the week, we had between nine and 12 people. Games on the deck, movie marathons and quiet mornings on the deck just watching the lake. Washer and dryer for those moments that we needed to have our clothing and towels freshened up.The view was beautiful, and the water was great. We did experience weather, but then it’s not a great vacation without a little excitement.The communication with Marissa was spot on and she checked on us frequently and answered any questions that we had.This is definitely a vacation spot that we will revisit.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jun 2023
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.
