Fun, Family Friendly Home steps to Lake Whitney

Fun, family-friendly, recently renovated home. Enjoy your stay with a nicely equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, and updated bathrooms. The main home offers lake views from the living room, the kitchen, the dining room, and from the master bedroom. The apartment offers its own updated kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room, but it's still close enough to feel connected to the family. The main home offers seating for all in the dining, living, and patio rooms for family meals and game nights.

The space
Our Songbird and Caracol properties are located 1 hour from DFW and 30 minutes from Waco. The homes have been completely remodeled with new appliances/furnishings. Enjoy lake views from most rooms in the main house. The master bedroom has unobstructed views to the lake. The French doors lead to a deck with a seating area to enjoy your morning coffee while you birdwatch or just gaze into the lake.

**NOTE: Due to low water levels, currently it is not possible to walk straight into the lake or carry the kayaks from the house to the lake. You can walk to the cliffs and fish (fishing license required) and enjoy beautiful sunsets. You can drive about 5 minutes, launch your boat, and if you have the right vehicle, you can load the kayaks and launch them more easily.

In the apartment, from the moment you walk in, you'll fall in love with the open space. The open kitchen, dining, and living area make the space feel so big yet it's cozy enough to grab a blanket and enjoy your favorite movie in front of the electric fireplace.

The homes are in a 1-acre lot, so each property has plenty of space. The property backs up to green land maintained by the army corps of engineers with an easy walk to the lake. The bluffs provide a great spot for fishing and to enjoy beautiful sunsets. Less than half mile hike to Soldiers Bluff Park, you can skip rocks and walk into the water. From the home there’s great picture opportunities of the Parsons Castle. A boat ramp is right on the other side of the dam, with a swimming and wadding area at Lofer's Bend Park. Clear nights provide great stargazing, and plenty of seating is available in the covered patio for those bonfire nights.

Both kitchens are fully equipped, with new stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops, and a breakfast bar. The main home dining has enough room for all guests and a 50-inch smart tv with Netflix and Disney+ included. The kitchen features a 36-inch gas range and electric oven, plenty of pots, pans, a blender, microwave, and toaster. A coffee machine and coffee grinder are available, as well as an electric kettle and Keurig machine. The living room features a 75-inch smart tv, seating for the entire family, and plenty of family games to keep everyone entertained.
