We loved the secluded area of the cabin. The wrap around porch was great for sitting and enjoying nature. Cabin was very clean and well stocked. Enjoyed our short get away weekend,
We really enjoyed the property and the location. It was perfect for a weekend trip and the weather was perfect. Plenty of deer on the property to watch most of the day.

Glad you enjoyed your stay David! Come back anytime!
This is a peaceful cabin in the woods. Cabin was comfortable and cozy. My only criticism is the light switches are hard to find. Hidden in places you wouldn't expect. Place is not really built for 3 grown adults. There is 1 full bedroom and a loft over looking the living room with 2 futons. Good place for a married couple to take kids, not necessarily for 3 adults. There are a lot of rules and lots of reasons to lose you deposit so make sure you follow them. Overall, it was a nice, clean place in a remote area to unwind and we enjoyed our stay.
We loved the porches and the seating all around. Very private. Everything inside was all in good order too. We chose this cabin for the secluded woods around and we were very pleased.
Love the porch and the view. The bed needs a new mattress

Thanks for your input. My apologies the mattress was not comfortable for you. However,
The mattress(s) are not that old and they have a fairly new toppers on them. We recently replaced the toppers.
This cabin in located in a community, but because it is at the end of a deadend road, it feels like you are very secluded.
There is a nice wrap-around porch, a grill, an outdoor fire pit, and a covered parking area; all nice amenities.
It was clean and had a nice layout, with extremely comfortable beds.
It is located near a boat ramp for accessing the lake.
All-in-all, I'm looking forward to staying at this property again.
The cabin was wonderful! The wraparound porch gives the back side of the cabin a treehouse feel. Angela is a wonderful host and communications were great before and after our stay which was unfortunately cut short due to an emergency that came up. We would love to come back and stay longer next time!

Thank you Kevin! So sorry about your emergency and I Hope you can come back and enjoy a full stay!
The location was perfect for us. We loved the wrap around porch with all the seating choices. The inside of the house was a little unclean. The floors could have used a mopping and the window sills were very dusty and full of dead bugs. Even with this we enjoyed our stay and would return.

Thanks for your input. In the future let us know while you are at the cabin if there are any issues such as your claims. Cabin is cleaned after each stay with pictures provided to me. We were actually at the cabin for maintenance right after your stay and found no dead bugs inside, only furniture moved around out of its place and window shade ripped off the wall.
I wanted to visit my dad who just turned 90. He can’t do much these days. We had such a great time watching the deer through the big windows and telling old stories. The owner was fantastic and gives great directions. Easy arrival and exit. We will be back!

Thank you Jennifer! I am happy to hear you had a great time at the cabin & being able to visit your dad! Thank you for staying with us and come back soon!
This is an amazing property. If you crave serenity, this is it. Others wrote about the wrap-around porch; it is truly perfect. We had all of our meals out there, practically in the middle of a forest! The house is great. The kitchen is adequate, but not ideal for cooking; it is very small. It wasn't an issue, but when we go back, we'll know. Nearby Lake Whitney State Park offers very beautiful trails (short ones).
We had a very relaxing, peaceful weekend. When we arrived, the water was off due to a valve issue, but the property owner was extremely prompt in getting help and rectifying the issue. The only other issue we had was that the Vrbo listing at time of booking included a hot tub, which was one of the main reasons for my booking, but the property in fact does not have a hot tub. Overall, it was a wonderful weekend, and we appreciated the owner's excellent communication and prompt handling of our needs. Would definitely book here again!

Hi Joy- thanks for your understanding with the water & hot tub. Apparently, The water company had just re buried a water line and did not turn the water back on to which I was unaware of. The hot tub had to of been a glitch with their site as we have never had a hot tub or advertised we that we had one. Over all I am glad you enjoyed your stay!! Come back anytime.
The best word to describe our experience was magical! The Cabin at Lake Whitney has all of the ingredients for a PERFECT cabin experience. It feels secluded and private and is only a quick hour from the DFW Metroplex. It’s also located 20 minutes away from two lovely State Parks (Meridian and Lake Whitney) where we spent some time hiking and riding our bikes. The cabin itself is a vacation though. One of the best features is the wrap around porch nestled into a tree-lined hollow with plenty of seating areas to relax (and watch the deer). We also enjoyed spending time relaxing indoors in front of the wood burning fireplace and outside around the firepit area. The interior of the cabin is very spacious, clean and was even decorated for Christmas! Thank you for the wonderful experience, Angela. My sister and her husband have already booked a stay and we will definitely be back!

Thank you so much Mary! So happy you had a wonderful time at the cabin. Come back anytime!
I really never leave reviews, even for things that I buy.
The location was great. Instructions to the property were perfect. Once we were there, we wanted to stay. We took hundreds of pictures of the deer.
Now the bad part. The house was not cleaned as expected. The couch and one of the chairs had dog hair all over it. The countertop in the kitchen was dirty. There were cobwebs on the ceiling fan and in the bathroom. The rugs in the bathroom needed vacuuming.
Other than that, the stay was really nice. I would recommend this place to friends and family.
Thanks
Overall our stay was great!
Dates shown above are incorrect. We were there July 31st thru August 4th.
I do have a few suggestions.
Directions to The Canyons needs to be more specific starting with exiting from I35.
Boat that we brought was not a problem getting into the property and parking was very sufficient.
In the description for turning on the family room tv is not accurate. It says to use the Black remote. All three (3) are Black also the tv is a Toshiba and none of the remotes are for a Toshiba. As a result we were unable to connect the tv. Both bedrooms tv were excellent and work properly.
Also what is up the "Caution" tapes on certain trees? That made us uncomfortable as if it were a crime scene. If it is for safety, I would use another tape and explain why they are taped.
I also cleaned out the bbq pit before we left as asked; however, it was not cleaned when we started our charcoal fire.
Hopefully this will help in the future so that you will get the excellent rating.
BTW neighbor waved at me while taking out the trash. We had no problems with them.
I will be using Vrbo again! So easy and good!
Thank you!

Thanks for staying with us! The directions given from me are from the hwy right off the entrance to the cabin as gps gets you to the entrance but usually gives a different and longer way through the neighborhood. The TV in the main room is brand new and there is a universal remote for it and the Roku, my apologies for the other remotes being put back out as they were put away when we installed the new tv. Story on the trees, we just had someone come out to inspect them and taped the ones needing trimmed. Hope that explains your concerns, thank you for all of your suggestions. Thanks for staying with us!
Very nice clean rustic feel cabin with a full wrap around porch including tables and chairs. The inside was just right for our family of 5. Very quiet stay. Highly recommend!
