We had a wonderful time. The kids loved the paddle boat, puzzles, and the back yard. Neighbors are quiet and a beautiful view of the lake.

Everything about our stay was very enjoyable. We loved the open floor plan and especially the windows with the view of the lake. The appliances, TV and fireplace were very nice. We could have used a dresser in the bedroom. The owner, Dave, was very responsive to any problems or questions we had during the weeks we were there. We had a wonderful stay.

Had a problem on our first night. Contacted David first thing next morning. He acted quickly to get the problem fixed within hours. The master bed is very high. I recommend short people bring a folding step stool. Helped us to get in and out easily. Once in the bed, it was very comfortable.The rest of the house is very well appointed. The deck view of the lake was fantastic! Nice and quiet and very relaxing.Recommend for a relaxing stay!

Great few days at this cute lakefront cottage!

We enjoyed our stay very much. This cottage is very nicely remodeled and we found everything we needed for our stay. The host has some nice extras to make your stay more enjoyable. The canoe and paddle boat were a hit with my teenage children (and husband). Beautiful lakefront view and very comfortable beds. We would definitely stay again.

Great little place

Traveled to the area to kayak Silver Springs. The property was close to the state park and offered a beautiful lake view of its own. Property was very clean and new décor, beds were very comfortable. Communicated with owners on a few occasions and found them very responsive and accommodating. Overall a great stay.

Cozy Cottage!

The property was adorable and clean. A great location if you are planning on exploring Silver Springs and Juniper Springs state parks. Right in the middle of both parks. Ocala was also close by with a great downtown area with lots of restaurants. We would book this home again.

Spacious and easy

This house was great-we were meeting up with extended family in the Ocala national forest, but needed more space. I loved the layout. There is a super separate, quiet comfy sun porch and the kitchen is far from the bedrooms (ideal with kids). Overall, loved it!

Great lake house. We really enjoyed staying there. The house needs some special attention to many stains on curtains and pillows were gross on couch. It seems that the comforter in 2nd bedroom were used with strange white stains & lots of hairs on it so my son slept in the 3rd room. Other than listed above, the house was clean. The beds are really high and was hard for me to get into and I'm 5' 8" but everyone else in my party are 6' plus. Kitchen was great & well equipped. We had everything we needed to grill and cook in the house. The back deck was wonderful to hang out on with our small dogs. Once the sun goes down there was spiders galore everywhere. The paddle boat was broken so we had to fix it to take out. The sun cover on it is no longer there. We were hoping for some great fishing but it was just ok. People were swimming in it but we didn't. The bottom was mucky. This house was centrally located. Great jeep trails(mins away), silver spring kayaking(10 mins away), salt springs for tubing(20 mins). Great restaurant Mojo is 10 mins away but all other spots were closed early or not open when we were trying to find places to eat. All in all, it was a great mini great away.

Hi Sharleen, Thank you so much for this information. We have already dispatched our team to take care of these items tomorrow. We strive for a 5-star experience as evidenced by reviews. That is why in our Welcome/ instruction package we ask guests to inform us right away if something isn't up to par. When we are informed upon check-in we can get issues resolved right away rather than after a guest checks out. Thank you for staying with us, and we welcome you to stay again so you can see the improvements. Safe Travels

Beautiful Lake View

We really enjoyed our stay at the Silver Springs Lakefront cottage!!! It was super clean, was completely updated and had beautiful lake views. The owners were available with any questions or needs. The beds were very comfortable! They had a canoe and paddle boat to use on the lake. The only negative was the road noise but we "toned it out" and had a wonderful relaxing time!

All the Comforts of Home

We had everything we needed at the cottage to be very comfortable for the entire month and David was quick to respond when we reached out. It was great to have multiple outdoor sitting areas and ample space in the house with comfy beds. The lake view was wonderful, and we enjoyed frequent visits from the sandhill cranes and little blue herons.Thank you David and Darlene for creating such a wonderful space and sharing it with us.

Overall nice cottage

Nice on inside with all toiletries and towels provided with washer and dryer and all the stuff provided to use. Outside shower convenient for bigger groups as only 1 inside. The paddle boat doesn't work make sure you take oars to navigate. Convenient for fishing. It was nice during july 4th with firworks right there on lake. The contacts were available with any questions as i bugged them alot. Overall great experience.
