Perfect getaway to enjoy the sunsets on the lake each night. Would be perfect for snowbirds wanting to get away from the cold and snow in the north during the winter. Private lake where fishing is great. This is a wooded area and the house sits on 1.2 acres.
Canoe and paddles are onsite. You can also launch your own boat from the property.
Roast marshmallows over a camp fire and eat either on the dock or the picnic table.
Enjoy swimming, fishing, and canoeing on a beautiful, private, spring-fed lake. You would also have access to a 300 acre private lake within 1 mile.There is a commons area and a boat ramp.
Disney World or the Orlando area attractions are about a 2 hour drive. Busch Gardens and other Tampa Bay area attractions are about a 2 hour drive.

Desirably remote but easily accessible, this home is truly lovely. The home is extremely clean and well equipped for a family getaway. We enjoyed canoeing, fishing ,camp fires and spectacular sunsets. The location was convenient for short day trips to St Augustine Beach, Juniper Springs in Ocala National Forest and Zip the Canyons which were all very enjoyable. I would highly recommend both this rental and the owner as he was very accommodating.Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

The home is very comfortable in a quiet setting. We enjoyed canoeing and fishing on the lake, and relaxing in the evenings on the dock. Although some property owners have motorboats, there were only a couple times when they were on the lake. We would recommend it to anyone wanting to get away for a while. A very good value.Recommended for: Families with young children, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

Extremely Charming Cabin Getaway!

This charming cabin was the perfect getaway for our family! We stayed the week of March 21st, 2011. Greg was very helpful and he took our reservation last minute. This house was clean, equipped, and was located in a very nice and safe area. Our children loved fishing & swimming out the back of the house and we all took a shot at canoeing! We roasted marshmallows while sitting around a campfire. We ventured out on nature walks and went to Salt Springs for a day! (only 35 minutes away) We also had lunch at the famous Ivy House Restaurant in Williston. (about 45 minutes away) Our family had a wonderful time. This house is centrally located to many springs, lakes, & parks and it is the perfect place to kick up your feet and enjoy the breath taking views from your own back yard! We hope to return for a couple of weeks in the summer!Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

Had an awesome time at the Lake House. Very secluded lake, very quiet, no boats on lake whole time I was there. Really enjoyed using the canoe, caught lots of bass both in canoe and off the dock. My kids go to college in Univ of Florida and they came out and stayed at the cabin, about 20 minutes from Gainesville. We went to St Augustine one afternoon about 90 minutes away, never been there, kids loved it. Hope to come back and stay at this lake house for my next visit to see my kids in Florida.Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.
