Relaxing place

I stayed here with my adult children. The home was very nice. We all loved the screened in porch. Lots of things to do in the area. Our favorite was kayaking down Silver River. We went on a few other hikes in the area and played frisbee golf

Great house for family stay.

Our stay was great. The house, porch and lake view were perfect. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed to cook and/or grill with a large kitchen table. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable beds. I would recommend this home and it was pet friendly.

A wonderful place to stay!

We had an amazing stay at the Lake House. If you’re looking for a quiet place to get away and relax this is it! The house is clean and inviting. It is in a great location, right in the middle of some awesome state parks and attractions. Although, the view from the screened in porch is so great you may never want to leave it!

Great vacation spot

This was a great getaway for us. The description of the property was spot on. We used all the amenities the home had to offer daily (with the exception of the fire pit, it was just too hot out). The proximity of stores and attractions was fantastic. The atmosphere of the home is exactly what we expected and would definitely recommend this place .

Beautiful place to share with the family, it met all expectations and more than we expected. Beautiful decoration of the cabin, clean, enough kitchen utensils, as well as in the bathroom. My children really enjoyed the bonfire at night, the canoes in the lake.Super quiet and spacious place.We suggest it 100%.

Charming cabin

We loved our stay. The cabin is very spacious and so nicely decorated! Truly one of the best cabins we've ever stayed at! We were able to use the canoe and the kayaks with ease. We visited Silver Springs State park (about 15 mins away) and Zip Canyon in Ocala (about 30 mins away).The cabin is located next to a lake, which makes it very special. To enhance this natural beauty, we would recommend cleaning up the entrance to the lake and adding a layer of sand. This small addition would create a welcoming touch, elevating the overall experience (just a suggestion). We'll for sure be back! Our kids also loved it.
