I can't put into words how PERFECT our stay was here on the lake !! The cottage is absolutely amazing and the view cannot be beat! I am in love with the interior The location is wonderful it feels remote but easy access to several towns. We would love to stay again!
My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary and it was the perfect getaway! The house was perfect filled with everything we needed and that lake view and sunsets were the icing on the cake.
Location was excellent with many things to do nearby. The Withalacoochie bike trail and the lake for kayaking was great. Everything was there in the house as far as toiletries. Great sunsets from the back patio and in general peace and quiet.
Loved this house! I was needing a quiet stay for 4 nights. My wife and I loved the lake views from anywhere in the house! Even in the kitchen. So peaceful! We went to Crystal River one day and Ocala once! Publix was close by too. Bed was very comfortable. Lots of charm!
Stayed for 7 days. Very relaxing, cozy, quiet place right on the lake. Perfect sunsets would definitely recommend and would stay again. Fun, simple activities around the towns and some good antiquing if you’re into that.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the lake house in Hernando. It's a bird watcher and fisherman's paradise. It was so relaxing. The sunsets were amazing and we enjoyed watching the bats come out of the bat house (on the dock) after sunset each evening. Highly recommend.
Really enjoyed the lake and the house, it really has that great cozy fish camp feel. It’s a quiet area even with the boats on the lake over the weekend, it feels like summer. Owner responded well to all questions and communication. The house was clean and comfortable. To top it off we got to see the bats at sunset leaving it’s house on the boat dock.
Pretty good stay. Old Florida feel. Was nice getting out on the boat for some good large mouth bass fishing. Good food close by. Would visit here again.
The place is adorable. So comfortable and everything you need to feel at home. We’ve already recommended it to several friends. The host is super friendly and we needed for nothing during our stay. We will most definitely be back! For sunset lovers… the best view. 😊
