    This home is amazing. It appears to be a labor of love from the home owner. Everything you need is provided. The setting is beautiful. There is a nice lake, dock, and canoe. The area is peaceful and you will not be disappointed! My family enjoyed our time in this amazing home.

    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.

    What a great little hideaway! If you need to get away from it all, this place is it and you can not beat the price! Excellent waterfront cottage. The showers are all stone and just cool as heck!

    Just returned from our 2nd trip to this location. We called the owner with very little notice for Labor day weekend and he was very accommodating! Had a great time boating, tubing and fishing. The weather was wonderful and was perfect for grilling out every night.We can't wait to return.

    Very quiet and secluded location with much to offer - fishing, boating, marshmallow roasting, etc...The house was very clean and well equipped for a get away.We enjoyed sitting and reading both on the dock and the upper deck. We definitely plan to return and also tell our friends and family about this wonderful new vacation spot!

    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.

    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!

    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.
