Lake Whitney home

Nice home, plenty of room. The yard was landscaped and was very nice. We found several restaurants nearby that were good. The private cove swimming area was a short drive from the house. Clean and well stocked kitchen area. We played games at the huge dining table. Very enjoyable overall.

We wanted lots of room and multiple bathrooms. This supplied both. The kitchen has plenty of plates and silverware to accommodate 14 guests. Plenty of seating at dining tables inside and out on the patio. We could suggest that the management company be more professional in dealing with questions from guests. It should also be noted that just having a VRBO account is no longer adequate. Instructions didn't come to my email account or to my phone, forcing the acceptance of the APP. There should be clear instructions stating this fact.

Family of 12

We enjoyed a family reunion with our kids and 6 grandchildren, between the ages of 4 - 9. The weather was pretty rainy, so we stayed indoors a lot, but there was plenty to do. The kids played games, watched movies, and our favorite was the foosball table upstairs. We had a family tournament and had a blast! The property was very comfortable and so pretty. We enjoyed our time very much!

This house is awesome!

We had 13 in our party, 2 boats, a trailer, and 2 side by sides and we had plenty of room to park on the property. It’s a very short ride to the new Whitney Ridge marina, (formerly uncle Gus’) where there are RV spots, boat ramp and docks to store your boat in the water. This house is huge! Tons of room and it was spotless! I can’t believe how clean it was! Nice side porch that faces East so nice in the afternoon and evenings! We’ve stayed in a lot of rentals but this was by far the nicest and cleanest we have seen! We are already planning another trip here, we absolutely loved our time here!

Great property!

I absolutely would've given 5 stars for everything but their were some small issues. Number one was one of the comforters had what appeared to be blood on it. I wasn't aware of this until one of my guests told me about it after we had checked out. Other than that the property was very clean! The second issue was the property having "lake access". I understand lake access isn't the same as lakefront and I did put lakefront in my search parameters. I assumed lake access would be a short walk judging by the pictures. That was not the case. The third thing was we were booked for the weekend and the yard guy was pretty much on property all day. I would think it would be smarter to have him there on a weekday and not first thing Saturday morning. Very minor issues. Just leaving a very honest review. I would absolutely book this house again or any from that property management company. They were outstanding. The third

Vacation with their gardener

The property grounds are beautiful! Although, there is a lot of space in this house, the home needs several improvements. There is plastic on some of the beds, which makes for a sweaty sleep. The dishwasher is not bolted in. So if you pull both racks out, the whole thing falls forward and you have to catch it. The lake is not easily accessible. You have to walk through another property, and the lake is off the side of a cliff. If you have anyone that cannot navigate lots of really steep stairs, this is not the place for you. Additionally, when you rent here, you don’t have the property all to yourself. Apparently the yard/maintenance worker comes with the place. He was on sight after dark at 9:30pm when we arrived. He was back the next morning doing something with a ladder. The next day he was mowing for several hours. So sitting outside was not possible as the side yard he was mowing was where the patio was. The morning after that he was weed eating by the bedroom window while we were trying to sleep. He was back in the afternoon spraying weed killer. He does a great job bc the yard is gorgeous! Wish someone would spend as much time with the webs on the porch, as the spiders were everywhere. There are other things, but those are the highlights.

Beautiful home

This house is amazing. It had everything we needed. Kitchen was well stocked / wonderfully clean and so much room. We had an awesome time at this property. The added extra of a 2 nd kitchen was great. Yard games was supplied and sitting outside at the beautiful table and chairs on the patio to enjoy them was just the ticket. We had a family reunion of siblings and had plenty of space for all. We appreciate Kim allowing us to stay at her home. We just didn’t have a reunion…. We had a retreat. Would definitely recommend this house for large groups We all agree… we would like to come back again next year.
