Weekends Feel Longer Here

Maybe it’s the easy hour-long drive from Dallas on a Friday afternoon. Or the fact that once you arrive, everything is effortless—no boat prep, no yard work, no pool maintenance. Just pure, uninterrupted lake time.

At Long Cove, weekends feel longer because every detail is designed for you to make the most of them. A full-service marina. Miles of hiking and biking trails. Stocked fishing ponds. Pickleball and golf. Lakeside bonfire pits. Resort-style pools. A Play Field for every sport and a Toy Barn packed with gear and cruiser bikes. All spread across 1,200 acres of adventure, connection, and relaxation—yours to enjoy.

Hear from Homeowners

“You’re not buying a lake house here. You’re buying a vacation home. No two weekends are alike because there are just so many options here.”
Robert Elliott
Still on the Water, Dodd’s Landing
“We’re all into our Mahjong and pickleball of course. Wherever you are, you just make friends. People here are friendly, outgoing, and genuinely interested in getting to know you, how you got here, and where you’re from.”
Kate Cutshall
Casa Su Lago, Shumate Pond
“It’s so relaxing. We come out almost every weekend and we’ve really enjoyed getting to know our neighbors. Sam literally catches bass from our backyard. And the dogs just love it.”
Jennifer Polak
Rockin’ 7, North Shore
“We love it here. We decompress in that hour and 15 minute drive. And then once we’re here, if one of the kids happens to have a soccer or football game, I’ll drive back to Dallas. We’ll play our game and it’s close enough where we can drive right back. ”
Rob Crain
Harbor Townhome
“We were at dinner and I looked over at my husband and said, I just want you to know I love the lake house. It is my peaceful, happy place. You just release and let go as soon as you get here.”
