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!

Quick stay for baseball weekend
We came to play a baseball tournament in Franklin and needed somewhere to stay. The property was perfect for two families to share and not too far from the fields! Would love to come back and stay longer! Paula was a very communicative host!

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!

Beautiful location and great host.
Paula went over the top by purchasing a new coffee maker and bringing it by, when her previous one conked out, all on Christmas Eve. Even after we told her it wasn’t necessary. She definitely wants her guest to have a great stay. Also, the cabin and location are great.

My coworkers and I scheduled a girls trip this summer but had to postpone due to Covid. The host was extremely responsive and considerate when we needed to reschedule and the property is just as lovely as it looks! The house was well appointed and you just need to bring clothes and groceries! Thank you to the Coats family for sharing this property and providing a great opportunity to relax and catch up with friends.
