About this property

Lake View Retreat Loaded For Fun, with STUNNING Views!

This private peninsula lakefront property isn’t just where you stay during your vacation, it IS your vacation! On-site fishing, boating, swimming, watersports, a game room, nearby restaurants and shopping, and absolutely gorgeous lake views. There is no end to the activities and fun already at this spacious home, and most everything you need for a great stay is already here.

With lake on three sides you get both sunrise and sunset over the water. A private boat ramp, over-water dock with patio table, covered boat slip, kayaks, canoe, paddle boat, jon boat, tubes, water skis, knee board and wakeboard are all here for you to enjoy for free. Bring your own boat or watercraft if you like. With four connected lakes there is lots to explore, plus you can visit the downtown area or a nearby restaurant by boat.

This 5000 sq.ft. home is handicapped-accessible and has 5 bedrooms (three of them en-suites), 4 bathrooms plus 3 additional sleeping areas for up to 22 guests. All bedding is provided. Dual fireplaces, full laundry, a spacious family room with 270 degree lake views and a pool table, dart board, table-top suffleboard and wide-screen TV. There are board games, outdoor games and activities for kids all on site too. If you are bringing your dog(s) there is a huge shady fenced-in area lakeside where they can run freely.

The kitchen is huge and comes with plenty of pots, pans, cups, mugs, dual coffee makers, double oven and Jenn-Air stove with built-in grill and griddle. Pretty much everything you need is there. An outdoor propane BBQ grill is also on site.

The second-floor master suite is huge and French doors open up to the balcony overlooking the lake to the north and east. The sunrises there are often breathtaking! Enjoy your coffee up on the balcony or take the stairs down to the patio area. There is lots of lakeside seating, and evenings by the lakeside fire pit bring everyone together.

Local attractions include the quaint downtown Inverness area with shopping, antiques, parks, restaurants and more. A 1/3 mile oval racetrack is in town, as well as the county fairgrounds with various events throughout the year. Airboat rides are nearby, scenic bike trail too just minutes from the property. Everything is within a 3-12 minute drive so although you have a tranquil spot on the lake, the entire town is conveniently close and easily accessible.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

It was a nice large well stocked house right in the lake. It was nice to use the kayaks, row boat, and paddle boat. I didn’t catch any fish, but a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work!

This house was perfect for our big family to get together for a long weekend. The lake views were amazing, there was plenty of room for everyone to have space, inside & out, and all the water toys kept the kids busy for hours. The entire home was spotless when we arrived and had a very well equipped kitchen as well as all the paper products, soaps, etc. The owners were very communicative and we had no issues at all. Thank Patty for sharing your perfect vacation home!!!

Wow, we had a great time! The house was spacious so our group could be together for games or alone to chill. Hosts were great in giving us ideas for places to enjoy in town and around the area. We had fun at Hunter’ beach in Crystal River, ( only 30 minutes away) twice and paddle boarded to 3 sisters springs for a couple of hours. We went to Rainbow river for a 4 hr river float from KP Hole in Dunellon and enjoyed watching sunsets from the boat on the lake. The time there was what we all needed to disconnect and reconnect with each other, highly recommend.

The hosts were incredibly responsive to my questions. The views are unmatched. The house is fantastic for large groups. It’s quiet and you really feel like there isn’t anyone around you but you are just a few minutes from places to eat and shops. It’s a great place to get away to a relaxing environment.

We had a fantastic stay at this VRBO! The home was incredibly spacious, spotless, and stocked with everything we could possibly need. It truly felt like every detail had been thought of to make our visit comfortable and enjoyable.The lake was absolutely beautiful and provided such a peaceful setting, and the pontoon boat was an added bonus that made our trip even more fun. It was a wonderful way to relax and enjoy the water together.Everyone in our group was extremely pleased with the accommodations and had nothing but positive things to say about our stay. We would highly recommend this property and would love to come back again!

I want to thank the host for letting us stay in their lovely home. The location was amazing. The house was spacious. The hosts seem to have thought of everything, from all of the kitchen utensils, soaps in the showers, games, and water sports equipment.The only reason I can not give the stay a 5 is that somewhere in the listing it says the house is handicapped accessible. With that I have to disagree. There are hand rails in the showers, but the doorways on all of the bathrooms are to small to allow a wheelchair or even a walker. That note is one of the reasons that we chose the house. My wife uses a a wheelchair, but thankfully she can walk a few steps, otherwise we would not have been able to stay.
