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.

About the host

Hosted by Trisha Mixer

Host profile image
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.
