Beautiful place
This was our second time to stay at Reel ‘Em In. We have a large family reunion at a nearby venue and mostly just need extra bedrooms. But this home is beautiful and the deck out back is so peaceful for morning coffee. Check in is easy and Farlene and Andy are easy to contact. We are already planning for next year!

Golfing tournament
The general area in the house was great for 6 ladies. The bbq grill needs a good cleaning underneath as there is leftover grease and it was hard to keep the flames under control. Had a slight communication misunderstanding, but was resolved quickly with a phone call.

Great Get-Away and Fabulous View
Great lake get-away for my wife and my parents and specifically for my mom's birthday. House is as advertised and was decorated like you think a lake property should be. Bedrooms were comfortable and the bathrooms were updated and nice and clean. Plenty of towels, linens, pillows, blankets, etc. Great space connecting the kitchen and living room. Kitchen was well stocked with cookware and utensils...everything we needed. Spacious deck with plenty of seating for everyone, a nice grill and a tabletop fire pit as well as additional fire pit with seating next to the deck. Great sunsets every night from the deck as it faces west. Although we didn't make use of it, it has an additional and separate guest quarters with a game room, bar and two smaller bedrooms-one with a full bathroom. plenty of space for larger families. We loved this place and will go back again. Farlene and Andy were quick to respond and attentive. You should feel good and confident about renting this property.

Amazing house with great views!
We had an amazing stay. There was plenty of space to spread out and it was nice having two separate areas so we could have an area to be loud after young kids went to sleep. Communication with the property owner couldn’t have been easier, check in/was a breeze. And you couldn’t beat the lake views!

Great Lakehouse
We had a wonderful time. The house was spacious, clean, and the location couldn’t have been better—close to everything I wanted to explore. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook meals, which was such a huge plus. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and feel comfortable, and the outdoor space was a great bonus.However, I did want to mention that the owner seems to check the outdoor cameras frequently, and we were unaware that she had called the cops on the neighbor’s dogs until we walked outside one morning to find a sheriff in the driveway. While the dogs were not a problem at all, it was a bit surprising to find out this had happened without any prior heads-up from the owner. I just wanted to be transparent about it in case others value knowing this kind of information in advance.We also had a couple of issues with the heating and cooling. The heater in the bunkhouse wasn’t working the first night, so we couldn’t sleep out there. The owner was very responsive and sent someone out to fix it the next day. However, on the third night, it became quite hot in the bunkhouse, and while we were able to sleep there, it wasn’t as comfortable as it could have been. It seems like the A/C wasn’t working properly, and despite the owner’s efforts to address the issue, it wasn’t fully resolved.Overall, despite a few minor issues, I had a great experience and would recommend this place to others looking for a relaxing convenient spot!

Clean but had some minor issues.
Smoke alarm Kept going off in the game Room. No battery for the igniter on the grill. Besides that everything else was amazing. The lake was 5 ft over its banks so it made it almost impossible to get into the water. ac in the bunk beds room isn’t
Sufficient. Loved the house though.

Total eclipse trip
Loved this property. Very expensive, but was priced for the eclipse. The separate bedroom, bathroom was actually in a remodeled garage, and did not really like the space, but would work great for teenagers since it also includes a party room with darts and table tennis. Could use a bedroom side lamp or two. Sunset is amazing!

Perfect escape
Let me start by saying the views are incredible. Everything about the home was comfortable and relaxing. The decor made it feel like home. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for cooking some great meals. We enjoyed lounging on the back deck watching the sunset over the lake, played some ping pong and darts in the game room and some cornhole in the side yard. We even cuddled up on the super comfy couch to watch a movie. Everything we needed was on hand. Farlene and Andy were the perfect hosts. We will definitely be staying here again and hopefully next time with a boat to enjoy all the lake has to offer.

Absolutely A Gem on Lake Whitney
This is an adorable house situated on Lake Whitney that has a spectacular view of the sunset. The house is decorated so beautifully and it is very spacious. Detached is a garage /game room where the entire family enjoyed ping pong, darts and bags. It is a quick walk to the water where you can fish and swim (using a rope to navigate part of the way). The sunset view from the deck is gorgeous (the pictures cannot capture the beauty of the view)! We plan on renting again because it is a gem! Also three minutes from a boat dock.
