What makes this property unique

When you feel the need to getaway…book Whispering Winds located on the Colorado River just a little over an hour from Aggieland! Feel free to roam over three acres and enjoy the gentle breezes on your face, grab your fishing pole and catch giant catfish and bass. Sit in your chair to enjoy the sunrise while sipping on your morning coffee.

After lunch grab a kayak, tube, or canoe, and make your way down the river! Take out at the bridge or at River Bend Park after enjoying a few hours listening to the river waters flow, the trees whispering in the wind and the abundant wildlife. Rising Phoenix Adventures is close by, and you can rent kayaks, canoes, and tubes. We have a few you can rent for an additional fee, just ask for the details.

Back at the house enjoy a fire in the small firepit or make a fire down the hill while watching the sunset and grilling with family and friends. Bring a large tarp and make your very own slip and slide down the hills, so many things to do!

After sunset, grab a book along with a glass of wine and read to your heart’s delight. Play games until midnight or stay up all night watching the shooting stars across the night sky.

Enjoy a short drive to Smithville, a picturesque and quintessential small town while grabbing lunch at Pockets Grille, Honey’s Pizza & Cocktails, The Front Room Wine Bar or La Cabana Mexican Cafe. Then check out Bone Spirits Distillery, Buescher State Park, Bastrop State Park for a hike or Rocky Hill Ranch for mountain biking enthusiasts!

Don’t forget to check out the movie film sites used in Hope Floats, Tree of Life, Artois the Goat, Five Time Champion, Doonby, Natural Selection and Beneath the Darkness.

Whispering Winds will be adding amenities as time allows, so each time you return you find new surprises!
