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!

Fabulous weekend

Our group was fishing a bass tournament on Linestone and we stayed at this place for a few nights. WOW, it’s setup so perfect for a large group and also for two groups that may want a little privacy. Very clean and homeowners are very nice and accommodating. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend.

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!

Ready to go back!

The location and home were perfect. We caught fish off the dock, swam in the water, kayaked, and just relaxed. The home had everything we needed and the beds were super comfy. My kids are already asking when we can go back! It was a great weekend and I too hope to return soon!

Weekend Getaway

The listing is very accurate and the reviews are spot on! I can tell you that I rate a rental on 2 things (besides location); cleanliness and the beds. This rental is clean and neat, but let’s face it, it’s never going to be “your house” clean. At least not for me. Still, no complaints! The beds were OUTSTANDING! We slept so good! I was a bit skeptical with them being bunks, but all the mattress(on bottom) were equally soft and comfy! I checked to make sure. We will definitely be back!

Excellent Communication

1st time experience for the owner and us as there was flooding which prevented us from our scheduled trip. The owner was extremely responsive and provided updates. Offered to accommodate beyond expectations. Much appreciation for an unexpected event. Hoping to visit in the future. I was unable to post without filling out all ratings. Of course, most didn’t apply as we were unable to stay but no fault of owner. Owner was amazing. Therefore, I gave the highest rating as I’m sure based on my experience, all would have been 5 stars.

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.

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!
