About this property
1 acre home on Lake Whitney w/ amazing views & trail to the lake... RELAXATION!!
*****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!)
Lake floats and towels (do NOT remove towels from the home)
Fishing poles
Lifejackets
Sunscreen
Bluetooth Speaker
Firestick or other streaming device (we have smart TVs but do not offer cable or satellite)
Extra paper goods (we do supply 1 roll of toilet paper per bathroom and 1 roll of paper towels upon arrival)

MARCH-OCTOBER set both thermostats to COOL 75. NOVEMBER-FEBRUARY set both thermostats to HEAT 55. Please make sure the sliding glass door downstairs is left open to the living room, and the wall unit downstairs is turned off.

About the host
Hosted by Marissa
My husband I are honored you are considering our home for your next Whitney vacation! I grew up coming to this lake to see family and could not wait to purchase a piece of this beautiful creation for myself. We named our home "Tranquility on Whitney" due to the quiet, peaceful, and amazing view from the covered porch that we enjoy no matter the time of year. What better way to enjoy Gods creation? The only thing I would add if I could would be a snow top mountain in the distance!
Not only is the view amazing from the porch, the entire 2nd floor will offer you opportunities to admire the beauty. Being a mom of 4, I spend a lot of time in the kitchen. I talked my husband into having a huge picture window installed directly in front of the sink so even when I am in the kitchen, I can enjoy the view!
If you choose to stay at our piece of "Tranquility on Whitney," we hope you enjoy it as much as we do and look forward to hosting you!
