Great Stay, as always!

This was the 2nd time we stayed at Katy & her husbands property for a THSBA tournament weekend. House is beautiful, location is perfect, and the dock is wonderful. House has eveything you would need for a stay and there is plenty of parking, even with a boat trailer. Enough room for everyone to relax and unwind after a tense tournament day.

Our entire family really enjoyed our stay at this property. Plenty of room in the house and the boat dock was our main hang out during the day. We brought our boat and the location on the lake allowed us to pull our grandkids on the inner tube without having to be far from the house. This property was the perfect setup for our family.

Super Fun Place to stay!

We loved our family getaway. Our 5 year old granddaughter had a blast, from kayaking, fishing, and swinging to card games in the super tall loft with just right Barbie chairs . We had smores and all the birds that I love to watch. Very special lake house and view. Thank you to our gracious hosts.

Lake Limestone Getaway

Stayed here for a much needed relaxation weekend and this house fit the bill! Plenty of room for 7 of us with two more beds that we did not even use. Kids had a good time playing ping pong, games, swimming and fishing. Kayaks were a nice bonus as well. It was our first time on Lake Limestone and we enjoyed it very much!

weekend getaway

our stay at Lake Limestone property was excellent. My husband enjoyed fishing and the house had all the amenities. It could do with a little bit of cleaning on the outside because it was full of bugs. Overall it was very good.
Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2021
Response from VrboOwner on 30 Mar 2021
Thanks for your review. Unfortunately, when you live on the lake, bugs are a fact of life. Our exterminator even says there’s not much you can do. As soon as you treat them, they come right back. And restrictions around lake water prevent us from using most higher-strength products because of runoff.

THSBA had weigh in right around the corner at County Park #2. This location was super close and easily accessible. Katy was very responsive with all of our questions we had before we arrived and during our stay. They've got a very nice property and location on Limestone. Will definitely stay again when visiting Limestone for fishing tournaments or leisure!

Eclipse home base

We stayed here to allow all family members to see the 2024 eclipse in nearby Waco. The home was as advertised, held our full crew easily, and gave us the bonus of a lake experience to boot. The only issue is that you really do have to manage the use of the septic system with a group this large.

David and I are glad you enjoyed your stay. I think the issue with the septic had to have been because of the close to 8” of rain we had during and just before your stay. 🤦‍♀️. Thank goodness that doesn’t happen often!

Best lake house so far

We rent a lake house every year. This house covered all our bases. Good for young grandkids as well as our teens , our dog and for us older folks that could sit inside with a great view of the lake and watch the activities in the AC. Boat ramp, convenience store and grocery store close as well. Katy and David were great host as well. We will definitely be back.

Great Lakeside Get-Away

Great time at a great place. Not just a "room" or "place to stay".... but a HOME.... and loved! Home is clean, quiet, and beautiful.... and everything you could ask for in a nice home. You don't get broadband connection there (not that you need it at the lake...) but you DO get cell-phone service (1 to 2 bars) which is enough to check email or call into the office if needed. A great place to hang out with your family and just enjoy each other and your time together. We are already hoping to be able to stay there again sometime soon!

Thanks for the feedback on the pantry. I'll try to rearrange to leave space for guests next time. There is hanging space and drawers in the master bedroom. There is hanging space in the two other bedrooms. Most people use the shelves in those closets for their clothes. Maybe I need to bring more clothes hangers. :-/

Perfect place to disconnect!

We love staying here! Katy and David are amazing hosts and have a beautiful place! This is a fantastic place to disconnect from technology and reconnect as a family, and that is just what our family of 7 did. The weather was gorgeous so every second was spent outside. The grill was easy and accessible. We also filleted some fish we had caught in their fillet station. It was super easy to clean. The boat dock is a great spot to fish at night or during the day as well. We brought our boat and we’re able to tie it up with no problem. This is definitely a favorite place for our family!

About the host

Hosted by Katy and David Mitchell

Host profile image
David and Katy have been married for over 50 years and counting. We have two sons with their wonderful wives and 5 grandkids. We have dreamed of having a lake home getaway that we could enjoy with our family for years, but never thought it was possible. David still works part time in the family business with the help of his wife and his brother Pat converting large two-wheeled motorcycles to trikes (three wheelers) and raises sheep on the family farm.

Why they chose this property

We looked at lake property all over Central Texas for years. Most were too expensive, too crowded, too rocky, too small, too far away, etc. Honestly, we had never even heard of Lake Limestone until our oldest son mentioned he worked with a guy who grew up there. But once we found this property, we were hooked! As my son says, "It checks off all the boxes!" :-) The beach has a bulkhead, but it has a gently sloped, sandy beach which makes it perfect for the little ones when the lake level is down. When it's up, it's only about 2 feet deep at the bulkhead. You can sit in the shade and watch them play. You can fish off the dock, swim, or have a blast if you bring jet skis or boats. The large covered deck handles the largest family reunion or just the two of us eating lunch and watching the water fowl. We have kayaks available and a variety of water toys to enjoy. We love it here, and hope you will too.

What makes this property unique

In addition to sleeping 12 folks comfortably, this property has it all. The house is close to the water which allows you to be in the kitchen or sun room and watch the kids play. When the lake isn't full, the sandy beach (when the lake is down a bit) is gently sloped so very kid friendly. Or you can sit in the swing under the shady trees only a step or two from the water. The large covered deck off the lakeside of the house is perfect for eating for just a few or a large crowd.

The property is protected from the south wind which makes the water smooth whenever the wind is blowing from the south, which is when we all want to be in the water in the Summer. It's on the upper area of the lake with quick access to the Navasota River for fishing for white bass in the Spring. There is an outdoor covered porch area equipped with a sink which makes the perfect place to clean all your fish before you cook them for dinner!
In addition to the 3 bedrooms (1 king bed and 2 queens), there is a loft area with 2 twin beds which is perfect for the older kids. And in the game room equipped with a ping pong table and lots of kid games is a bunk bed with a full bed on both the bottom and the top.
