Melinda and her husband, Gary, own and operate one of our favorite weekend getaways, Arrowhead Resort on Lake Whitney. The property is beautiful and impeccably maintained, the cabins cozy and comfortable, the service friendly and personal. Best of all, it is a quiet place to rest and rejuvenate, far enough to the city to enjoy a respite from the frenzy, yet close enough to plan a movie night or an afternoon at the water park.
