Small Mother-In-Law suite, located on Lake George, the second largest lake in Florida and is surrounded by trees and water. We are in a small neighborhood but when you look out across the lake, there is not another house in sight. The sunsets are amazing. The quiet is (usually) unbelievable. The stars at night are brilliant. It is a beautiful, relaxing slice of paradise and the perfect retreat.

Other things to note
We are far from the hustle and bustle of the city but within easy day trips of pretty much anything you want to do. Our unique, fresh water springs and beautiful nature are the attractions here! Boating is big here! Airboats and Jet skis are often seen running to the nearby springs. The speedway in Barberville provides exciting dirt track racing. There are frequent fishing tournaments going one as well as just good fishing all around. There will be airboats launching from the boat ramp and driving by but they usually pass quickly. Just give them a friendly wave. There are also several excellent locally owned restaurants nearby and an Italian Pizza place that delivers. Quaint, interesting, unique small towns like Mt. Dora, DeLand (Home to Stetson University), Ocala (Home to Silver Springs and the famous glass bottom boats) and Eustis are nearby for shopping and browsing. Wildlife abounds. Birds are everywhere. Come enjoy some of our beautiful nature.
