The living room has a large sofa, recliner, a rocking chair as well as the daybed and a 50 inch flat screen smart TV connected to the Internet We provide free LG channels and you can stream any apps you have with your password. There is also a 32 inch tv with DVD player and plenty of movies in the bedroom. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare a meal, you just bring food and refreshments.

Plenty of extra seating on the covered back deck as well as a hanging bench swing. There is no fenced in back yard, just open views to the lake and sunsets. Great views, short walk to the lake, and plenty of room to relax make this a great place to escape from it all!
We are 10 minutes from downtown Whitney with local shops and dining. Our location is less than a 90 minute drive from DFW area, under an hour from Waco and no more than two hours from Austin. There is plenty to do in our area, including the Red Caboose Winery in Meridian, the Valley Mills Winery with beautiful Hill Country views. We are only 45 minutes from Magnolia Market in Waco. Below are links where you can find "things to do" and "places that rent boats" on Lake Whitney. I would call and reserve your boat before your dates to make sure they have one available.

Property was amazing. Perfect for what we needed. Wish we had brought fishing gear! Only downside is the neighborhood. But overall a great spot.

Peaceful Getaway
We had a great, relaxing long weekend getaway at the cottage. Very clean and comfortable. No issues whatsoever. Views were amazing. Quiet cul-de-sac, friendly neighbors. Trail to the water is steep, but manageable. Can't wait to come back!
