Professional BASS GUIDE with boat available..
Fishing is good almost all year around. This lake made it's reputation with Large Mouth Bass, with tournaments coming out of Palatka on the St. Johns River.


WE CONSIDER THE LOCAL FISH THAT LIVE IN THE WATERS AROUND LAKE HOUSE BLUE AS FISH FRIENDS AND ARE VALUABLE ASSETS, ESPECIALLY THE BLUEGILL POPULATION. OUR GOAL IS TO KEEP THEM FAT AND HAPPY BECAUSE THEY ARE THE FAVORITE DISH OF OUR BIG MOUTH BASS. OUR AUTOMATIC FISH FEEDER PROVIDES THEM WITH PELLET MEALS 2 TIMES A DAY AT 10 am, and 6 pm. WE THINK THEY APPRECIATE THIS PERK AND WE ARE GLAD TO PROVIDE IT..
LAKE HOUSE BLUE IS ALL ABOUT GIVING EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY A RESTFUL REFRESHING BREAK FROM THE PRESSURES OF DAILY LIFE.

FOR OUR BOATERS.. we have a floating EASY DOCK for your tie ups with a stationary ladder up to the main dock. Pull in, tie off, and let the dock and your boat act as one for your added convenience.

Daytona 500 one hour away: Don't miss the greatest NASCAR event of the year. Not very far away, and the perfect place to get away from the crowds and relax when it is over.
HORSEBACK RIDING is not far away. South on 17 between Barberville and DeLeon Springs...Deep Creek Stables has an excellent set up for all kinds of riding...
Also while in DeLeon Springs DON'T MISS your chance to swim in the 14 million gallon per day clear water Nature Spring and State Park. Be sure to go early so you can enjoy self made Pancakes at The Old Sugar Mill Pancake House. A crowd favorite !!

Thank you Melinda, for your great review. We are told often how enjoyable it is to have your coffee on the morning porch and cocktails on the afternoon porch. Being this far out in the lake has its advantages with nothing to block your view. This is what my family does when we are at the Lake House and have been doing this since 1980. Thank you for your kind words....

Incredible place, my third stay. Fishing was great. Accommodations included many small upgrades, such as down pillows, a great mattress, and high-quality linens. The multi-jet shower was what was needed after a day in the sun. I need to book my stay for next spring.

Thank you Kaye for an amazing review. We love our regular guests and they make our job so much easier. They keep us in touch with what we are doing right and wrong and that is very helpful. Our idea many years ago was to provide a treat for fish that call Lake House Blue their home, by supplying food on a regular basis. They seem to appreciate our efforts and we think we provide a sweet spot for our guests for their enjoyment as well....

About the host

Hosted by Dean Ellis

Host profile image
Our family has used this lake house as our get away from it all escape from reality. We have been pressured for many years to rent this property so everyone can get to enjoy one of Florida's most hidden and unusual secrets. Henry David Thoreau said ' A lake is a landscape's most beautiful and expressive features' A lake with a house in the middle of it is nature as it's best. We are very sorry we can't share our Lake House Blue with Mr. Thoreau, but we are sure he would love it....

Why they chose this property

We bought this lake house because we wanted to get back to the old Florida of days gone by. This area has changed very little compare to other parts of Florida. Just 25 miles North in Palatka was as far south people came around the turn of the 20th century. The great people of that era names like President Grant, Mrs. Lincoln, wanted to see the wild Florida and all it's natural wonders. Palatka had as many 100 Paddle Wheel boats tied up at the city docks. Years later Babe Ruth came a couple of years and taught a base ball school. Highway 17 is the original highway to Florida as well as US1 on the East coast. These are the things that I saw when my parents brought me thru this area in the 1950's. It made a lasting impression on me and I get to enjoy this area today just like I was a kid again...

What makes this property unique

This is a one of a kind home with class, modern features, and a view from every window and door. Wildlife is all around and likes to show off for our guest. Bald Eagles,Osprey's, Ducks,Blue Heron's,White Egret's, even an occasional Manatee. This is just the beginning because every month has a different supply of nature's best. Come experience the wonders of nature at it best....
