PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS
From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by a wall of windows that fills the home with natural light and frames serene lake views.

A spacious formal dining table sets the stage for memorable lakeside meals, while a second living area offers extra seating and flows effortlessly into a fully equipped kitchen. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, and all the cookware and supplies needed for your stay.
Step outside to the patio to breathe in the fresh air, fire up the grill, or head down to the private floating dock. Outfitted with a high-end sectional, two hammock chairs, and slips for both a boat and two jet skis, the dock is a favorite hangout spot. For on-the-water fun, guests can enjoy 2 kayaks, two adult fishing kayaks, a paddleboat, and two paddleboards—all included with your stay.
As the sun sets, gather around the fire pit to toast marshmallows and take in the peaceful beauty of the lake.

LOCATION
Unbeatable Location with Access to the Best of Lake Buchanan!
One of Whitetail Cove’s most compelling features is its ideal location on the east side of Lake Buchanan—just moments from some of the area’s most beloved attractions and activities. Nestled just around the corner from the Burnet County Park Boat Ramp, the property offers effortless access to boating, swimming, and lake adventures.
Directly across the street, guests will find the Blue Store—a local favorite where you can fuel up, grab essentials or snacks, and even order made-to-order pizza. A brand-new restaurant (opened in 2024) also sits conveniently across the road, giving you even more dining options just steps from your door.
Only minutes away, Spider Mountain Bike Park promises adrenaline-pumping fun with a unique lift-served downhill biking experience. Riders of all skill levels can take the chair lift to the top and cruise down a variety of trails—an unforgettable adventure just 7 minutes from the property.
For a relaxed outing, head to Templeton’s, a local hot spot known for delicious food, great drinks, and a fun, laid-back atmosphere. Enjoy a game of pickleball, disc golf, or billiards while taking in the Hill Country vibe.
Nature lovers will appreciate our proximity to Canyon of the Eagles, which features scenic hiking trails (available for a small access fee) and a restaurant with expansive lake views. Reveille Ranch also lies nearby, offering more outdoor opportunities and tranquil scenery.
Guests can easily explore the surrounding area with visits to Vanishing Texas River Cruises, Falkenstein Castle, the Eagle Eye Observatory, Hidden Falls Adventure Park, and Sweet Berry Farms. The area is also home to charming shopping districts, antique shops, historic landmarks, peaceful fishing spots, and some of the best wineries in the Texas Hill Country.
Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or a little of both, Whitetail Cove places you in the heart of it all—while still offering the peace and privacy our guests love.
IMPORTANT PROPERTY POLICIES
To ensure a safe and comfortable stay for all guests, we kindly ask that you observe the following:
Smoke-Free Environment: Smoking is not permitted indoors or outdoors. Vaping is allowed outdoors only.
Pet-Free Property: Due to severe family allergies, Whitetail Cove is strictly a no-pets property. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a safe environment for our family and all guests.

Lake Levels: Lake Buchanan, like Lake Travis and many of the Highland Lakes, is a variable-level lake. Water levels naturally fluctuate from season to season and year to year. Please note that we do not issue refunds based on lake levels, as these conditions are beyond our control.
Uncontrollable Circumstances: We are not responsible for power outages, inclement weather, or other acts of nature. As such, refunds will not be issued for disruptions caused by factors outside of our control.
Unexpected Maintenance Issues: While we work diligently to ensure the property is in excellent condition for your stay, occasionally something may be damaged by a prior guest and there may not be sufficient time for repairs before your arrival. Rest assured, we address all issues as quickly and thoroughly as possible.

About the host
Hosted by Trisha Mixer
I am married and have 4 children. I love beautiful properties, enjoy decorating and design projects, traveling, reading, and I love meeting new people. Starting Whitetail Rentals 3 years ago has been an enjoyable new experience for me. It combines my love of hospitality with my love of beautiful properties, organization, and design. This isn't a hobby for me, it's my job, and I've found it suits me perfectly!
Why they chose this property
It's hard to put into words why you should choose this property.
-First and foremost, beauty. It's just so beautiful at Whitetail Cove. The lake, the house, the gorgeous Hill Country...it's all a feast for the senses.
-This property is in a prime location. The cove itself is quiet and being in a cove gives you protection from boaters. The property itself is ideally located due to the proximity to other attractions. Just north of us 3 miles is Canyon of the Eagles. They have hiking trails, a star-gazing observatory, and a restaurant with great views. Just a bit farther is Vanishing Texas River Cruises which can take you to see the Bald Eagles and the beautiful falls on the Colorado River, it has become an icon in nature tourism in the State of Texas. Around the corner from the property is a gas station and convenience store which is so convenient, and also just around the corner is a boat launch at Burnet County Park. The most recent and very exciting attraction just opened in 2019 and is 10 minutes south of us- the new Spider Mountain Bike Park. SO.MUCH.FUN!
-There's plenty to do on property. Between the ping pong table, the long pier for fishing, the kayaks, paddle boards, and canoe, you won't ever run out of things to do. On the contrary, you'll wish you'd booked yourself a longer stay.
-We have great Wifi which a lot of properties in this area do not have.
-Plenty of space to park your boat and vehicles.
-mature, beautiful trees cover the back yard which provides ample shade for your enjoyment. Pecan & 2 types of Pear trees are also on property!
-The house itself is beautiful, comfortable, and well-stocked. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. We leave plenty of towels, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, dish detergent, and laundry detergent...all the things that most rentals don't seem to supply enough of-at least the ones we've stayed at.
