About this property

Family Fun, Quiet, Large Deck, Activities, Firepit, Sleeps 8, 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 even have a few extra 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 both have Queen beds that have very soft cotton sheets with great pillows and quilts. The over-sized loft has 2 more Queen size beds as well as a futon. 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.

Weekend vacay
We had an enjoyable family weekend here. The cabin was very clean and well kept. They also provided so many nice amenities that are so helpful. The location was perfect, so peaceful. Loved seeing the deer pass through the property and also enjoyed fishing at the private cove. We would totally recommend Bridgeview Lodge.

Great vacation spot!
We loved staying at Bridgeview Lodge! The private cove to launch our pontoon boat was awesome. The house was exactly as described and had extra household products like toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo, conditioner, etc. The back porch was our favorite place to hangout in the evenings. The firepit with the swings was a huge plus, very cool to sit around and catch up while stargazing. Thanks Steve and Melissa for sharing your wonderful lake house with us!

Breathtaking views, cozy home and helpful hosts!
My sister and her family and I absolutely loved our stay. The home is well equipped, sits on 3 beautiful acres with some of the most stunning sunrises and sunsets. We were even witness to an amazing double rainbow while sitting on the huge deck. We had deer who visited every morning and evening along with beautiful birds and bunnies. Access to the private lake cove with fishing topped off the trip! When in the area, we will definitely stay there again. The hosts were most helpful. It was worth every penny!

Eclipse-of-a-Lifetime
Stayed at the Bridgeview Lodge for the 4/8/24 total eclipse. Could not have asked for a better experience. The house itself was perfect for two families with teen and college-age kids, with plenty of room to spread out and was very comfortable. The adults had private, nicely appointed queen bed rooms, while the kids had a huge loft with multiple beds and gave them a space of their own as well. The barn full of outdoor toys kept everybody entertained, and the huge back deck was perfect for enjoying the view of the eclipse (which was spectacular). Kitchen was well-stocked and convenient for putting together family sized meals at the huge dining room table. Our host Melissa went above and beyond for us, answering all of our questions quickly,both before, during, and after our stay. She even checked with the local sheriff to see if a burn ban that was is in effect would prevent us from using the firepit (it didn't). Just a very memorable experience in a great place. Highly recommend!

Perfect place for our group.
Some members of my family and I stayed 2 nights at this house. The house location was beautiful. Grocery stores and restaurants were a short drive away. We saw deer every morning and evening. The yard was big and well maintained. My 5 and 7 year old granddaughters loved the tire swing. We didn't have to worry about their squeals and shouting bothering the neighbors. There was plenty of comfortable seating on the huge deck in the back yard. The kitchen had everything needed and was very well stocked. We had 3 vehicles and there was plenty of parking. If staying in the area we will definitely want to stay here again.

Enjoyable
My husband and i were happy but the teens wished for more to do. The beds were comfy and everyone slept great. The boat rentals listed in the book were cosed but a lady at a neighboring restaurant gave us a number to an open one. We loved sitting in the backyard every morning. The swimming cove was close and easy to find.

Nice property near the lake
Property as described. Clean and spacious. Only issue was that the lake was low and the boat ramp was unusable for us but that is not to blame on the property. Ended up using the ramp 12 mins away at Cedron Park. Deer every morning and evening. Very quiet place to relax.

A few minor issues
I tried to contact the owner prior to our trip to inquire as to whether we needed to bring beach chairs and did not receive an answer. Turns out, there were only two and we should have brought more. There were also sharp stickers from outside that were everywhere and required that everyone wear shoes all the time as they were not easy to see and ground into carpeted areas.

Awesome Place for Cousin Camp
We had such a fabulous time at this home with our oldest grandkids for cousin camp! The house and surrounding property were absolutely the perfect place for these kids to have the time of their lives! So much room to run and play outside, swings for lots of wonderful talks at sunset, a fun game barn, watching deers come up to feed in the mornings, a loft in the main bedroom that became their hideout and a large table to enjoy meals and play lots of fun games! The owners have seen to every detail to make this house nice and comfy and a place you will love staying at! Close to Waco, Dinosaur Valley and the beautiful Lake Whitney...so much to see and do for some daytime fun! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to get away for a few days and enjoy the peace and quiet of the country and a wonderful cozy home!!

4th of July at The Bridgeview Lodge
Our family is frequent visitors of the Lake Whitney area especially during July 4th. This property was absolutely amazing. From the moment we pulled up to the property we were greeted by deer, they are everywhere and it was absolutely amazing. The Bridge View Lodge provided a nature wildlife cozy type feeling and the back view of the property was absolutely amazing and you can see the Katy bridge over Lake Whitney. The inside of the lodge provided a comfort at home like feeling and has everything you need. We were extremely happy with this property and can’t think of one con. We will be back forsure and we definitely recommend.

Great Family weekend
We enjoyed our stay. This house has everything you need to be comfortable. We normally stay right on the water but the house has great views and was a quick 6min ride to the water, with the perfect private beach and swimming location. We had a great time floating and laughing. Really enjoyed the swings and firepit. The deer and roadrunner were a great treat. My only tip to visitors would be to screen shot the door code or wifi password before you get all the way to the house lol. None of us had service way out there and had to drive back up to the main road to get service and see the instructions on how to get into the door lol. We got the information in plenty of time it was totally lack of planning on our part. Happy floating!

About the host

Hosted by Steve and Melissa Henderson

Host profile image
My wife & I have always loved the lake life. My family has owned lake property in Oklahoma for a couple of generations, and I grew up with summers at the lake fishing and skiing. The times spent at the lake have always been cherished memories, and my wife and I wanted that for our family! We have been searching for the last 4 years to find the perfect home to spend summers with family & friends and THIS was it!!! We would like to share our home with you too, so that you can make lasting memories with family and friends as well.

Why they chose this property

Lake Whitney has been known for it's clear water, great fishing & just it's sheer size. When it's a 3 day weekend and you want to go boating - so does everyone else! On this lake you can DO that!!! There is so much room that the lake has several coves for skiing and wake-boarding without having to dodge all the other boats. These coves make for excellent fishing as well. The cliffs on the lakes edge are simply magnificent and breathtaking to look upon.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the serenity and the wide open space. The views from the deck whether watching the sunrise, star gazing, or just visiting with friends and family provides a relaxed, stress free setting. We enjoy watching the deer wander through our yard, and the hawks making lazy circles over the tree tops in the distance. The community cove is another enjoyable perk to this property. We enjoy a quick dip in the Lake in the summer evenings as the sun is beginning to set. The high cliffs surrounding the cove always keep the waters calm, and give a breathtaking backdrop to our swim. There are numerous hiking trails at and around the property. You can walk to the secluded cove (about a 15 minute walk) from the side yard of the property. Spectacular views of the lake can be witnessed on the hiking trail on the Corp of Engineering land near the house. Walks are just breathtaking on these trails especially at sunrise and sunset.
