About this property

Hidden Piece of Heaven on Lake Limestone

Our little cabin has been a family jewel since 1983! Four generations have enjoyed the property over the years and now our grandchildren love it so much, they never want to leave! Since we've always had such wonderful family time here, we decided to share it with others when we aren't using it ourselves! We are 2 - 2 1/2 hours from Houston, Dallas, & Austin so we are a great place to meet in the middle for a lot of Texas families! This fabulous little cabin has 2 bedrooms with 2 custom designed bunk beds (queen on bottom & twin on top) in each room which sleep a total of 12 people. It has 2 full baths with both a shower and a tub, a large open kitchen completely stocked with everything you need, a living area with 3 comfy couches plus a TV/Stereo/DVD Player/Movie Library, and a dining table that seats 8 with additional seating at the island and game table for a total of 14. While the inside is spectacular, we prefer spending the majority of our time on the large tree shaded outside deck overlooking the lake. Sunsets are majestic from this location and at night, the patio lights throughout the property add a mystical ambiance to the evening. If you prefer sitting by a fire, we've got a large fire pit and a steady woodpile waiting to host the day's fishing tales, ghost stories, or even our favorite, popcorn and s'mores! During the day, guests can enjoy easy access to the water, sunbathing via our boat dock, or kayaking in the calm waters of our cove. The property is lined with trees on both sides, so you will feel as though you are the only people who know about this secret paradise. Having this much private space is a rare find at the lake!!!! Lake Limestone is famous for its great fishing, and a lot of it can be found a few yards in front of the dock! Fish species include large mouth bass, striped bass, crappie, brim, and catfish. Whatever your interest, from quiet relaxation with a good book and a glass of wine, to spending the day filled with activities on the water, this property will fill the need! We even have a play area for the kids! There is nothing better in this world than spending time with family/friends while making memories that will last a lifetime!

TRULY Piece of Heaven!

This place was the perfect getaway for our family during Spring Break. It was a good balance of fun and quietness when needed. The cabin has everything you need and more! We are looking forward to our next stay back hopefully this summer!

We Loved everything about this place!

We came for a relaxing weekend to celebrate Mother’s Day, a birthday and an anniversary. The place is absolutely stunning. Very peaceful and relaxing. The wind did not cooperate for much boating and fishing but we still thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

2nd visit to our favorite lake house

This was our second visit to this beautiful space and it was just as magical as our first -- now with the added bonus of a kid's playscape, which our little ones absolutely loved! We spent the weekend kayaking and relaxing near the water and made s'mores on the fire pit every night. It was perfect!

Perfect Family Getaway

We had a wonderful time staying here! The property is breathtakingly beautiful and our kids loved the lake. We fished, kayaked, and swam during the day and enjoyed the huge porch and rocking chairs in the evenings. The cabin is one of a kind! Beautifully decorated and has a family centered layout. Paula was so caring and thoughtful in her messages, she was truly a pleasure. We can’t wait to take our family back again!

Family Lake House gathering

This is a remarkable place, very family friendly place. We stayed there 3 nights and enjoyed it very much. Our hope is to do it again. Already planning! Grand kids loved s'mores by the fire pit and playing in the pebbles, OMG pebbles in shoes, pants etc. Thanks to the Coats for making this a special weekend

Lakeside on Labor Day

The property is beautiful and the house very roomy. The AC did not work on the Living Rm and Dining Rm areas, so the temperature inside rose to 90 degrees.

Best spring break

Thank you Paula, as usual we enjoyed our stay. We did leave a pillow and white satin pillow case. We had 2 of the grand kids with us and they may have used one of your little packaged soaps. They also had a lizard hunting game so many of the rocks got moved hopefully we out back were they go. Thanks again we hope to stay there again this summer.

Beautiful home on a gorgeous property

We had such a lovely time on this visit! Paula is an incredibly responsive and caring host, and the house and property are clearly very loved and well-cared for by her family. We spent all day splashing in the lake, kayaking on the open water, fishing off of the dock, and just relaxing and enjoying the beautiful views. It has just been a few days and my kiddos and parents are already asking when we can visit again! Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!

The Ultimate Escape

We visited Lake Limestone for my son’s fishing tournament and wanted a lake cabin to accommodate two families. I can’t begin to describe how perfect this cabin was. From the CDs to the VHS tapes, the board games and toys, our kids never thought about screen time! They stayed so busy just being kids, enjoying lake life, the beach, the dock, the large grassy yard! We loved everything about this cabin, and we can’t wait to come back!

This was our second time staying at this property and we will be back again. The owners are great as is the property. It's a beautiful relaxing home. I love sitting on the porch watching the kids swim and fish. This is one of my kids favorite places to go. They are already asking when we can go back!

Annual lake tradition

We have stayed here 4 times for our annual cousin lake trip. They always have everything you could need and then some. Both our families of 4 fit perfectly in the bedrooms and everything is always so accommodating! Very nice property and family that graciously lets us share it!

About the host

Hosted by Paula Coats

Host profile image
Ray & I love spending time with our family at the lake! We started coming here when we were 17 years old. Our kids grew up here and will quickly tell you this is their "forever home"! And it's even more exciting that our grandchildren are making wonderful memories at our favorite getaway place! We all love outdoor activities and since we have been here so long, we have many friends at the lake. It's always nice sharing meals together or just visiting with them over a glass of wine! Nothing is better in the world than family, friends, and great memories!

What makes this property unique

This property is one of the few on the lake that gives you complete privacy! We sit on 2 lakefront acres and have tree lines on the other 3 sides. This amount of privacy is a rare find at the lake as most lakefront houses sit on 1/2 - 1 acre lots and neighbors are only a few steps away. We have a lot of front yard for the kids to roam & play and they will love all the animals that come to visit throughout the day!
