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!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.

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.

Great getaway on Lake Limestone
Beautiful property on Lake Limestone! The Living room and kitchen area has plenty of room for everyone to hang out in. Big open concept with a huge vaulted ceiling. Also a nice bar area right when you walk in. One bathroom is completely private, and there is a shared Jack and Jill bathroom between the two bedrooms. The bedrooms are cozy cabin like rooms with two bunk beds each. Queen beds on the bottoms and twin on the tops. There are two outdoor patios. One at the front entrance with a dinning table and a grill. The back porch is a great sitting area that over looks the big back yard, lake, and pier leading out to the covered boathouse. We brought our own boat so the boathouse with the boat lift was awesome! We caught many fish right off the pier, and it was a great spot to watch the sunsets! Real quite neighborhood that felt very safe and friendly. All in all, it’s a great place to get away, play and stay on Lake Limestone!
