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!

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.

About the host

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!
