While the owners live on-site, your space remains fully private aside from sharing the driveway and outdoor areas. We thoughtfully balance guest privacy with the natural layout of the property, using fencing, strategic landscaping, and a discreet presence to ensure a restful experience.Please note: While we thoughtfully maintain separation, complete seclusion may vary at times. Our commitment is to create a peaceful, respectful environment where you can relax and fully enjoy your stay.

✨ Outdoor Experiences ✨
Step into a backyard sanctuary where nature, relaxation, and a sense of playful connection come together effortlessly.Spend your days drifting between the sparkling pool and the on-demand heated spa, or escape to the hammock, cradled beneath the trees. At sunset, climb to the elevated tree platform — a private perch with a bistro table and chairs — perfect for morning coffee, evening wine, or simply savoring the views of the pool and surrounding landscape. Beneath the platform, a gently swaying saucer swing adds a lighthearted charm.
For moments of playful connection, guests can enjoy axe throwing, cornhole, washers, and PaddleSmash — all thoughtfully arranged to complement the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Each day, both Cottage and Loft guests can reserve a two-hour private time slot to enjoy the pool. Outside of reserved times, you’re welcome to use the pool if it’s available. If the next time slot hasn’t been claimed, feel free to extend your swim or enjoy the space earlier if open.

This property was perfect for what we were looking for. Quiet and secluded but close to shopping and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again!!!
Beautiful location, felt like we were way out of town! Clean and had everything we needed. A very pleasant stay , Trisha was super responsive and very nice. Would stay there again for sure!Thanks Trisha!!
My family and I recently had the pleasure of staying at this clean and cozy cottage. The pool area was a great place to lounge with a book (or work) while our son enjoyed a swim. Trisha was incredibly friendly and helpful. It was an ideal location for a staycation and we look forward to booking again.
We stayed at this property while my daughter was playing at the Round Rock Multiplex. Couldn’t have hoped for better accommodations. Incredibly clean with thoughtful amenities. Between the quality of the neighborhood, the quiet surroundings, and the ever present deer, it exceeded expectations. Only more impressive than the property is the quality and responsiveness of Trisha as host.
Everything was great except it was a studio located in your backyard. Not quite as "private" as expected but it was not an issue and we enjoyed our coffee conversations
I can't say enough about our stay at Whitetail Cottage. The location is 5 minutes away from a major shopping center that has everything you might need. The accomodations were amazing. Where do I begin? Open floor layout, very comfortable bed (I think I slept better than at home), excellent AC and heating system, spacious kitchen with all the essential kitchenware. But best of all was the host, Trish. You couldn't ask for a more attentive and responsive host.
You get the whole beautiful pool to yourself!!! It was just as you see it in the pictures: clean, 2 electric waterfalls, colorful lights at night, and pool toys for everyone. The ambiance of the Edison patio lights made it picture perfect. Excellent hosts who give you ultimate privacy and are there when you need them. If you are even slightly hesitant about the level of privacy by staying in this guest home, I can reassure you, it is more and what you expect! You'll LOVE it!!! Deer every morning and evening to view on their open field. They come right up to the treehouse by the pool. This home had all that we needed. Unlike a townhome, villa, or condo, this location allowed our kid to go in and out to play without having to worry. Took a walk down the quiet road while our son biked and enjoyed seeing the homes spread out in the open area.
As a teacher with specific attention to detail and one who values aesthetics and cleanliness, I give her an A++++!!!!!!
The best of both worlds. An Amazing upscale community with 5 acre ranch homes in the county.
Trish was so incredible with Whitetail properties, she replies so promptly.
White tail Deer sightings on this property on a regular schedule.
Quiet, cozy, country living.
My husband I had a very nice relaxing time at this cute cottage with a beautiful swimming pool and a very large yard. The cottage was very spacious and had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the TV had many options for our viewing. The pool was very nice and clean. It wasn't warm, but once you got in it was very nice. We saw plenty of deer and really enjoyed watching them when a sudden rain came down. We did not have much success getting the hot tub warm. We turned on the spa button and it warmed up a little bit. Over all it was a wonderful stay for a great price. I would recommend this property.
This location was perfect for our visit. We were far enough away from congestion, but close enough to shopping and great places to dine. Very peaceful and relaxing. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
We enjoyed the quiet location after the busy driving around in Cedar Park. It was close to shopping and our family but allowed us to return to a space of our own.
This place was clean, nicely decorated and has an amazing outdoor pool and patio area. My last day, I did yoga on the patio while the deer walked around in the backyard. It was fantastic and we had plenty of privacy! Will stay here again!
Trisha was prompt on communication and very gracious. There was a mishap in communication on my end and she was very kind and understanding.
The place was cozy and super cute!
