Family trip

We enjoyed our short stay at the Home away from Home. Left a day early due to weather. The views of the sunset from the deck are amazing! The deck is really a great place to hang out and relax. Walking down to the water is a hike but the water in the cove is deep and a fine swimming spot.

My kids begged to stay longer

The house was clean and had everything you would need. Plenty of dishes and cookware. Even though the hike down to the lake was pretty rough, we LOVED having our own little private lake access. The road to the driveway is very steep and broken on both sides, don’t drive your car if it’s lowered like my husband did lol. We also loved the master suite!

Best friends/family fun on Lake Whitney!

We have rented this property a couple of times previously and it never disappoints! We had 18 in beds on Saturday night - very rare to find a house that sleeps so many so comfortably! The stairs down to the water are a challenge but have handrails the entire way. This house certainly isn't anything super fancy but is just perfect for a lake house. We highly recommend it!

family vacation

We had a family group of 9 staying, house was plenty big for all of us. Getting down to the lake was difficult for a couple of the members of our party, was just unable to make it down definitely need to be fit to make your way down!! Swimming and playing in the was great for those that did make it down. fishing wasnt great, but weather played a big part in that can't control when & where the fish bite!! On arrival house was a little dirty but nothing major. Overall we had a great vacation, communication was great with owner always quick to answer any questions.

Photo inaccurate

The photos of property were misleading. It is a hike to the water down steep stairs and rocky area to water The refrigerator had a hard time getting cold, the beds are loud and uncomfortable. Overall I am disappointed in the property.

not even close

The only thing going for this place is reasonable access to the lake. Otherwise it is an old house that does not even get routine maintenance. The air-conditioner went out because the filter was so filthy it looked like it was coated in cement, leaving our entire group in 104 degree Texas heat. It was finally repaired the following day (we had a two day holiday rental.). 2" black roaches in the kitchen discouraged using the facility. The furnishings are worn out and out of date. Overall this place was extremely misrepresented. Causes concern for future VRBO use. It seems no one checked this rental before advertising it on VRBO.

Horrible stay

First off with as much money as they arebgetting renting this property, it looks like they would fix their drive way. 2nd off house was dirty when we got in, floors hadnt been swept, there were crumbs in our beds. The yard hadnt been mowed so kids couldnt really play, the steps down to the lake were absolutely horrible, the railing to hold on to wobles and my sister in law broke her leg this weekend walking down. There are weed plants growing down by the water, there were beer bottles and cans down by the water it was absolutely horrible!!! The house when we left this morning looks great because we actually cleaned it. I also now have pink eye, we as a family take a vacation every year for the kids to have a great time, but this was the worst place we have ever rented and i will never recommend this place. I may actually talk to a lawyer because we took pictures of everything wrong. Tvs not in every room, the laundry room they put 2 twin beds in it for a room the bathrooms were absolutely uncomfortable, when you sit down your knees hit the counters. One room tv didnt work at all thank goodness my son brought his xbox so he could watch tv. I will be talking to someone because this is illegal

About the host

Hosted by Barbara

Host profile image
I discovered Lake Whitney with some friends of mine some 20 years ago. I fell in Love with it's Natural & Unspoiled Beauty. The Cliffs & Limestone Rocks are great for fishing Or Diving. The Lake is so Clean & Clear. The Fishing is Great, Boating, Skying is also Great. You can Ski forever & never see any other Boats. Lake Whitney is a well kept Secret. Its has some very nice State Parks & Camping sites.I have some other friends that invited me to Lake Whitney for July 4th Holiday. I was hooked I was determined to find me a place. It is very hard to find a Water Front Lake House you can actually walk down to the water, most are Cliff Hanging Lots which are Beautiful to, but I wanted to be able to walk down to the Water. I bought the Lake House over 10 Years ago. I have a Great View & it is very nice & peaceful. It has all been updated with 45' Deck.I plan to retire there some day.. .

Why they chose this property

Lake Whitney is very quiet & peacefull.The Lake is one of the most Beautifull Lakes In Texas. Lake Whitney has been voted one of The Best Lakes in Texas with all of it's Parks & Camp Ground's. They even have Equestrian Trails for Horseback riding.It is vey close to Dallas/Ft Worth area little over 1 Hour Drive to the Metroplex.

What makes this property unique

When you pull into the driveway you see the Lake & you begin to relax. It has a Great View of Lake Whitney from the 45' Deck & every room in the Lake Home.The Neighborhood is a nice place to walk & watch the Squirrels, Birds chirping. You can actually see the Falling Stars in the Black Clear Sky at night.
