Nice view.

Only one comment: kayak launching is difficult. Air boats are very annoying.

The Perfect Winter Getaway

We absolutely loved everything about this home! The hosts were very friendly and thought of everything you would need to make you feel at home. The location was central to all the things and places we love. It was just minutes from the town of Inverness and the bike trail and parks. There was lake access for kayaking/fishing from the back yard.We enjoyed many meals outside on the xlarge wrap around screened patio as well as it being a fantastic place to read a book and listen to the sounds of all the different wildlife. It was quiet and private in a friendly neighborhood. We spent two months there and hated to leave!

Beautiful Lake View

This rustic lake cabin is on a waterfront lot with a beautiful view of the lake and wetlands with unlimited bird wildlife. The area has large oaks and lush foliage with lots of parks and trails and friendly neighbors and frequent music in the small town of Inverness. The house is older and rustic and the sofas and armchairs are worn and need replacement, but the beds are new and comfortable and the master bath and kitchen are newly remodeled. The screened porch that wraps around the house is a great feature. In all we really enjoyed the stay and would recommend for casual families interested in fishing and nature.

We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay at our lake house! We totally agree that the lake, wildlife, and proximity to downtown are great benefits. While renovating the entire property, we felt a big porch would enhance the lake front views. We are in the process of making even more updates that include improving the furniture. Again, we are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you made good memories.
