Plenty of extra seating on the covered back deck as well as a hanging bench swing. There is no fenced in back yard, just open views to the lake and sunsets. Great views, short walk to the lake, and plenty of room to relax make this a great place to escape from it all!
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. There is plenty to do in our area, including the Red Caboose Winery in Meridian, the Valley Mills Winery with beautiful Hill Country views. We are only 45 minutes from Magnolia Market in Waco. 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.
