Secluded Family Home, Large Deck, Outdoor Activities, Firepit, Lake close by

Family fun & relaxing is what comes to mind when you pull into the gated entrance of this stunning home nestled back off the road surrounded by beautiful cedar trees. The views off the huge back deck are truly breath taking. The sunrise over the Lake Whitney Bridge is something you will truly enjoy as you drink your morning coffee.
This home can easily sleep 8 adults. The wall of windows in the living area and master bedroom allow you to never miss a minute enjoying the scenery. The spacious kitchen, wood burning stove, aspen wood finishes, barn with ping pong table, tire swing, and many outdoor activities for our guests is just a short list of reasons why this will become your favorite vacation spot! The property is roughly 3 1/4 acres, allowing you to spread out and enjoy yourself.

The kitchen is fully stocked with a freezer with an ice maker as well as 6 ice cube trays, blender, Keurig & a coffee pot, toaster, full size oven, crock pot, cookie sheets, rice cooker, flat electric griddle, nice cookware, BBQ Grill & utensils, 2 prong skewers, hot pads & oven mitts, kitchen towels, wine bottle opener, and Ice Tea pitcher. We provide ground coffee (kept in freezer), powdered creamer, pancake mix, syrup, salt, pepper. (Please bring your favorite K-cup for the Keurig.) We have beautiful butcher block counter tops. Keep in mind that wood and water play well together, but not for long periods of time. For any water that gets on the counters we keep kitchen towels in the drawer to use to keep things clean and dry.

The bathrooms have the softest towels and are in different colors so everyone knows which towel is theirs to help avoid confusion! We've got a few toothbrushes in case you've forgotten yours (or your children didn't pack one, haahaa) The hot water heater can handle 4-6 quick back to back showers with ease, and there is a hair dryer in both bathrooms.

The bedrooms all have very soft cotton sheets with great pillows and soft quilts. Extra pillows are in the shams that match the bed quilts. The over-sized loft has 2 Queen size beds as well as a futon and the 2 downstairs bedrooms have Queen size beds. There is plenty of room to move around without feeling crowded. There are mirrors in both bedrooms so people can get ready while someone else is in the bathroom. Downstairs bedrooms also have dressers to place clothes inside if you are staying for a bit and do not want to live out of a suitcase for your trip. A full sized closet is available in the front bedroom to hang clothes in. The closet in the back bedroom is used as an owners closet.

The washing/dryer machine is a hard working stack-able that is underneath the stairs. Nothing better than returning home with clean swimsuits and kid’s clothes from the lake!

Boat owners, bring the boat with you as we have plenty of room to park and maneuver your boat and trailer on this property. There is also lake access just a 5 minute drive away with a secluded cove & a boat ramp and dock to launch your boat/canoe/jet ski. Swimming in the cove is also easy and enjoyable as there is a small beach area where the surrounding cliffs keep the waters calm and serene.

Lake Whitney is also listed as one of the TOP fishing lakes in Texas. Predominant fish species on the lake include striped and white bass, smallmouth and largemouth bass, crappie and channel, blue and flathead catfish. The lake offers scenic views of gently sloping banks, clear and hardwood timber as well as awe-inspiring views of the limestone bluffs.

Nature enthusiasts will enjoy the spectacular wildlife that frequents the property. Deer can be seen most mornings as well as a family of foxes, and many species of birds. The property backs up to a wooded area with no fence, so the deer come and go in the back yard like it is their own playground.

We are located near Corp of Engineer land and Hiking Trails with astounding views of Lake Whitney. The hiking trail is at the end of the street. We usually drive down to the end (you could easily walk it too), and then take the trail to a beautiful quiet cove with some of the best views of the lake. The shoreline along the trail is a great place for fossil hunting. You can see many ammonite fossils embedded in the rock there. We have found some great walking sticks that we leave on the front porch for anyone to use. If you find any good ones on your walks feel free to add to the collection.
