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.

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.

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!

Nice place!
We had a great quiet two night time away from the kids and enjoyed the place very much!! Our only complaint is that when we arrived the AC units were off and it was so hot inside and humid that we had to leave for a few hours to let it cool down. Would be nice to have had those turned on prior to 3:00 checking time. But other then that we loved it!!!

Relaxing Stay
Our expectations were met, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The size of the house was perfect for my mom and me. We loved sitting outside in the morning, overlooking the lake while enjoying our breakfast. The living room was comfortable as we streamed shows on the TV. The roads leading to the house were decent, although I could tell that potholes had recently been filled. Mentioning this since there were previous complaints on the roads. The hosts were very responsive to my questions when I contacted them via VRBO.

A small slice of paradise
Everything was as exactly as described except one thing - THE LOCATION! The cottage sits a ways higher than the lake, and the view from the backyard really was picturesque. The real gem, however, was the rock-paved cove that led down to our own semi-private crystal clear water beach. This alone is reason to stay here again and again. We cannot wait to go back!
