Lomg Cove Community - Across WaterJo just emailed me from Austin after she and her husband were on I-35, just passing West moments before the West Fertilizer plant explosion that is wreaking havoc on lives in that little town just north of Waco — that’s where they have the cute Kolache bakery on I-35. Authorities have arrested a Mississippi man in connection with Rincin-laced letters sent to a senator and President Obama. Dateline Kaufman: how in the world did a woman with chronic fatigue syndrome plan the cold-blooded murders of an assistant DA, and then the DA himself and his wife in their homes on Easter Sunday? And I still do not understand — who pulled the trigger(s)?

Then there’s the Boston Marathon bombings. I mean, is this week just one where you cocoon into a fetal position on the couch?

Maybe it’s time to get that second home in the country, on a lake, somewhere where you can feel SAFE, or pretend to! Long Cove is a new, private residential community located just over an hour from Dallas on Cedar Creek Lake. The area is getting a ton of buzz . It was built to give North Texas families a second home experience close-to-home, getaways that promote an unplugged, relaxing and family-oriented experience.

What’s the Long Cove prescription for relaxation? A true lock and leave experience — having your boat ready and gassed up the minute your car reaches Long Cove. Pre-planned catered events, kitchen and fridge stocked with the groceries your family prefers upon arrival, housekeeping and maid service, and home maintenance. No one wants to spend their precious vacation hours changing lightbulbs, cleaning baseboards or waiting in line at Wal Mart on vaca!

Situated on more than six miles of pristine shoreline in Cedar Creek’s deep waters and spanning more than 1,000 acres, the Long Cove property has been untouched for nearly 80 years. Long Cove offers special homesites for waterside cottages, lakefront homes and family compounds, which can all be built-to-suit, accommodating the unique needs of each resident. Amenities at Long Cove include boat valet and concierge, lakefront swim club, a fishing and canoeing pond, hiking and biking trails, outdoor gathering spaces and fire pits, tennis courts, full fitness center, amphitheater and more.
