Monday thru Thursday was perfect because it was so quiet and the kids had the whole cove to themselves. They had a blast and absolutely wore themselves out! The house was perfect and the beds were comfy. It was a really nice vacation!

Our stay was great! We travelled from out of town and hauled our boat with us. The dock was available in cove and we were able to tie up to the dock for easy in and out boating trips. The house had everything we needed.

Good Times
Overall a good time. Had some bad weather, but we faired well. The property was as advertised. Really liked the location. There were a couple of issues, one was problems with the grill, and the other was not being able to use the dock for and day and a half. This was our sole reason for getting this property. Once it was fixed we used it a lot. Lots of fishing, swimming, floating, and yes jumping off the cliff. We all had a good time.

Great Peaceful Place
When our guys went to go into the house, they were in awe how nice this home was and it was very relaxing to them after a hard days. The requested to stay at this home while we finish our required work out there. It was everything and more than you could ask for. The communication between Jeff and I was on point and also checked to see if they arrived and then asked if anything else was needed. Highly recommend.

Hidden Treasure
Our high school boys had a fishing tournament on Lake Whitney. This home was at the perfect location for us. Everyone had their own room. My favorite was the cove out back where our boys came to say hi several times through out the morning. We hope to return to this beautiful lake and this home!

Nice clean place on a cool waterfront cove.
It’s a nice clean property with lots of amenities. The dock is down in s deep cove, which makes a fairly private cove. There’s allot of steps on the gangway to the dock, but we’ll worth it.

Nice Place
First, the PROS: House was very clean, nicely decorated, had comfortable beds, nice electric fireplace for ambiance and to warm the living room, a great assortment of kitchen ware if you wanted to cook meals, a picturesque view of the cove, and in a good location. As seasoned travelers and users of VRBO, here are some CONS: I would like to suggest an update to the description on VRBO. It was mentioned that the property required steps and may be difficult for guests with limited mobility. Though there are only 4 steps, it should be clarified that the steps are inside the house and both bathrooms are upstairs but all the bedrooms are downstairs. As senior adults, though not disabled, it would have changed our decision to rent this property because of getting up at night to use bathroom and having to navigate stairs. There was an issue in the bathroom with green tub, the diverter valve is not working properly preventing enough water pressure to come up to the shower. Also there seems to be a problem at times with flushing the toilets. When one is flushed the other gurgles and bubbles up. Don't want to be sitting on it when that happens. If someone is showering and a lot of water is draining out of the home the toilets tend not to want to flush at all for a while. Please note that I did not contact property manager about these issues, we just worked through them. The checkout instructions are not received until after the booking is secured and I think it should be stated up front. It seems to me that if I have to pay a cleaning fee, I should not have to take out the trash, strip the linens off the bed and deliver them to the laundry room, wash, dry, and put away all dishes used. We did see however, that the checkout instructions on the back of the door in the house were slightly different than what was sent to me after the booking. My intent is not for this to sound like a gripe fest, but to let you know how you could improve the description in VRBO and to let the property owner know about a couple of issues. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and the visit to the area.

Trip
Amazing views and cute little house. The layout was funky. You had to walk through one bedroom to get to another and the fourth bedroom was so tiny. The only complaint I have is that, once we got in bed, I noticed fresh blood on the sheets. Totally grossed me out. I emailed the owner and got no response. I normally bring my own bedding for this very reason but was in a rush this time and forgot. Wont happen again!

Perfect lake getaway
We had such a wonderful time here! There are three good size bedrooms that easily sleep 6 adults. The other room is very small with a futon in it. Plenty of towels and the bed linens were very comfortable. Not ideal for 4 couples due to the futon. The stairs leading to the dock are pretty daunting, but we were able to take several kayaks and paddle boards down there with little effort. The lake was great. The area was peaceful and meteor shower was a total bonus.

Nice Home but not so sure about the people around it
We had a great time inside the house, didn’t leave the house much. But once time for us to leave . The neighbor across the street had a shotgun standing in his doorway looking at us. (3 young black ladies). Very scary and uncomfortable honestly.
