Cozy, Comfy & Relaxing
This was undoubtedly one of the best rentals we have had so far. The property is clean, well equipped with games, kitchen utensils/supplies and toiletries. The property owner is very responsive and answered all queries in a timely manner. The location is perfect for a family (with pets) who are looking for a quiet getaway. My family will surely cherish the time we spent at this property. Whitney & Shane, keep up the great job and we will surely recommend this property for anyone who is looking for a quiet getaway, not so far from home,

This property was just amazing. You can tell this is well loved home. Very clean and had all the things you need to make the stay comfortable. Super comfy beds with quick access to Whitney Ridge Marina where we kept our boat while we were there. Amazing host as well. Great neighborhood the home is in and its very quiet. So happy to have found this place and will rent it again. Absolutely loved it.

I had the best time celebrating my birthday with a girls trip to the lake. Magnolia Lakehouse was the perfect spot to hang out, play some games, and have a relaxing weekend. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Can't wait to go back!
The house was so cute and comfortable! I absolutely loved the work space upstairs in the loft to get a little work done in-between all the relaxing. The house is perfect for family time inside playing games or just hanging out or down by the lake. All the natural light made the home so inviting and you can tell the care that went into designing a space for whoever enters to enjoy. We cannot wait to go back!

About the host

Hosted by Whitney Holmans

Host profile image
Welcome to our home. My daughter, pups, and I love to adventure and spend time near the lake.
We love to travel, but with a family, our local hotels don’t make the grade. We hope to be a welcome alternative to a hotel room; there is just no comparison. We have put comfortable, durable, easy-to-clean furniture in the home.

I am no stranger to hosting friends and family, but I am new to running a short-term rental. Your grace is appreciated. Thankfully I have combined with some truly remarkable individuals to ensure you have a 5-star stay. We are all here for you!

My favorite thing about hosting is hearing how enjoyable your vacation was because of our accommodations. I love knowing that we had some hand in helping you make lasting memories. It is truly a dream come true.

Why they chose this property

My family and I live in the Ft Worth, Tx area and wanted to find a vacation spot by the water to visit. We fell in love with Lake Whitney and everything it has to offer! We love boating, fishing, exploring, hiking, and soaking in the sun on our patio. We were very fortunate to be able to find our perfect lake house that had been newly updated by Magnolia Homes in 2021. It has gorgeous lake views and we are able to access the water within a 10 minute walk!

What makes this property unique

Fully equipped house and kitchen for all your family's and pup's needs.
1.5 miles from Whitney Ridge Marina for boat docking, live music, and fishing.
Lake views from the property and relaxing on either top or bottom porch
Sitting around the firepit roasting s'mores with the family
Grilling outside while enjoying the quiet neighborhood
Fishing and boating around the lake
Hiking around the bluffs that overlook the lake
