Surprise Birthday getaway

This is such a quaint property. It is located directly on a lake with local wildlife keeping you company, as you enjoy the breathtaking sunsets. The cabin had everything we needed to cook our meals and enjoy the scenery offered here. There are also many local restaurants to visit, if-cooking isn’t your style. The location is perfect and you can visit the different rivers and springs nearby. The host, Will, made the whole process to rent easy and stress free. His quick response to any question was appreciated! You will not be dissappointed with your stay at this unique property. We will definitely visit again.

Peaceful

The minute we walked into the lakehouse we immediately felt right at home. The house is so cozy and inviting and the large windows looking out at the lake was beautiful. We made a hearty breakfast and sat out on the dock and admired the view, spectacular! My husband enjoyed fishing and even caught a few. There are kayaks and canoes available for use. We enjoyed ourselves so much we booked another date next month while we were still there. The owner Will is wonderful and we had no problems communicating with him. I hate to give the lakehouse such a good review because now it might be harder for us to visit again as people may want to check it out! LOL

Wonderful Stay

After a tornado destroyed parts of our neighborhood in March, the pandemic, quarantines, virtual school, and finally a Christmas Day bombing a couple of miles from our Nashville home, relaxing by this mesmerizing lake for a week was exactly what we needed to recover and bid farewell to 2020. The cabin is delightfully cozy, with everything we needed for the week. My favorite room was the glass enclosed den/sunroom facing the lake, where I curled up with a book on the chaise lounge and where our six year old ran to every morning to enjoy the sunrise and some bird watching. The large yard was perfect for the kids to run and play freely, especially coming from a house in the city. We enjoyed morning coffee and evening meals and cocktails on the quiet dock. The lake is absolutely beautiful, and my family thoroughly enjoyed using the kayaks and fishing in it, every single day. The kids were delighted to catch several fish! We ordered grocery delivery from Publix on our drive in, so we were able to have a fully stocked kitchen before breakfast the next morning. The pantry was already stocked with essentials like spices and oil when we arrived. The town of Dunnellon was less than a ten minute drive for anything we needed. We mostly cooked, but did order takeout from nearby Gyros King one night and it was great! We did a couple of excursions to Crystal River to see the manatees and Rainbow Springs State Park, both within a thirty minute drive. The weather was sunny and 70's every day, making this location such a fabulous destination for those escaping the winter. We could not be more appreciative to the owner for sharing this wonderful property with us, helping give us a renewed sense of hope as we welcomed in the new year.

Great escape

We had a lovely stay in this small cabin. The home was clean and had everything you’d need. The kids really enjoyed fishing off the back deck and using the canoes provided. The location was perfect - close to Rainbow Springs tubing/swimming. My son is already planning our next visit. The owner was also extremely helpful with area info.

Awesome rental

We loved staying at Will's house this past week. The lake was beautiful and we made friends with a little alligator we named Ally. She was up waiting for us every morning. Will was very attentive with every questions I had and made the renting process very easy. We will hopefully be back next year!

This is home is on a beautiful piece of property right on the lake with a spacious deck. The yard is well cared for. The covered front seating area with several grills was a great place to escape from the afternoon rain. The kitchen is very small and there isn’t an actual oven but the refrigerator was large and cold. Will the owner was extremely helpful and responsive. The location is an easy drive to the restaurants and shops in Dunnellon.

Wonderful relaxing place

This house was well stocked, had comfortable beds, and was very clean. The owner made sure to let us know he was available for questions and addressing issues but there were none. Lack of a dishwasher was the only "make-do" we identified, but this was absolutely worth it for the view and wonderful outdoor spaces. Wifi and phone signal were excellent. The sunroom at the back provided additional space to relax in so that my family of five (all teenagers) never felt overcrowded. We would definitely stay here again.
