Q: Location?
A: We are located 15 miles outside of Gainesville, Florida

Q: Do you offer long term stays?
A: Absolutely! In the two and half years we have had our rental listed we have had many long term guests stay. We do offer a discount for booking 28 days or more AND we offer discounts for booking 7 days or more.

Q: Is it comfortable?
A: For a camper (39ft Palomino Puma), it is quite comfy. The king size 10-inch memory bed is sure to give you a good night's rest. The bunkbeds, well they are bunkbeds but we do have memory foam under the beds to give extra cushion or you can stack the bunk mattresses to make it comfier. The dinette has a large memory foam under the master which is just as comfy as the memory foam bed in the master.

Q: Any grocery stores nearby?
A: There is a Family Dollar about 10 minutes away for quick needs, especially if you forget your marshmallows. There is a Hitchcock's Market, Harvey's Supermarket, Ward's Supermarket, Williamson's Food Store, and a Walmart within 15-25 minutes of the lake.

Q: Any restaurants close by?
A: There are several mom & pop places to dine close by or you can head into Gainesville which is 20 minute drive for a wide assortment of places to dine from fast food to sit down restaurants.

Q: Can we take to boat out & drive it?
A: We have our own experienced driver for the ski boat rental, however, there is Jon boat we will be offering guests to take out on their own and a Pontoon boat coming soon.

Q: Can I check-in earlier than 3 pm OR check out later than 11 am?
A: We will do our best. Most days there is someone else checking in the same day there is someone else checking out but we try to go above and beyond if this is requested.

Q: What to expect that is different than a hotel or house?
A: It is a camper. it is a unique FUN experience. Campers are not insulated it is imperative to keep the front sliding glass door closed as much as possible if you want to stay cool inside. Furniture is as comfy as a camper can be. Toilets, well they are camper toilets that you have to fill with a pedal and drain after using the bathroom. Sometimes the toilets can omit an odor from the dump tank. If so, in the medicine cabinets we provide toilet pods where you fill the toilet, drop the pod in and then flush. Camper toilets DO NOT have the same plumbing as a house. There is propane used for the stove and heat so be careful NOT to hit the knobs on the stove so the camper does not fill with propane. There is a Carbon Monoxide alarm in the camper should one of the knobs get turn accidentally which will send off a loud alarm to exit the camper and allow it to clear out. We take great care of our camper but we expect guests to tell us if anything is not working properly and we will PROMPTLY respond and will try to repair it in a timely manner.

Q: Do you allow pets?
A: Absolutely! There is a $50 non-refundable pet fee to ensure the extra cleaning of pets between guests to be sure any guest who has allergies does not have any issues. PLEASE ADVISE OF PETS WHEN BOOKING. We ask that dogs not be puppies, don't scratch at the doors or be left alone for a long period of time - unless crated. We do have ducks and neighborhood dogs that run around so we ask that you do not allow your pet to chase our ducks and be attentive in case a neighborhood dog stops by to say hello. They are all friendly.

Q: Parking?
A: We have signs up for designated parking. If you have more than 3-4 vehicles that will be on the property, please let us know so we can advise them where to park so it does not block the boat ramp area.

Q: Can we bring our boat?
A: Yes! We have a private boat ramp on our property for guests to use.

Q: Can we rent paddleboards, kayaks, paddleboat, ski boat, Jon boat or canoe?
A: Yes! Rental access to four paddleboards and/or kayaks: $25 per person, per day or contact us to ask about our package deals. Paddleboat rental is available for $35 per day. Jon boat with a 6hp motor with fuel, life vests & orrs for $175 per day or Canoe with life vests & paddles $40 per a day. Contact host for details on how to make payment for rentals. Rent a Ski boat & tube with our experienced driver - message us for details. Rental & liability waivers MUST be signed for each person using them, including children BEFORE use.

Great Family Getaway
Our family had a great stay! There was enough room for everyone including our dogs. Kids enjoyed fishing from the dock and playing on the beach and all the water toys. Close enough to get to places but far enough to feel secluded.

Great place for family
Excellent setup especially for a group. Kids loved the beach and the tubing/fishing the lake had to offer. Definitely recommend bringing your boat if you have, good place to get your kids tubing/fishing without a crowd.

Quiet getaway
The property is way nicer than expected, photos do not do it justice! The yard is huge, so much space to run around and hang out. The water was so nice and calm everyday. You’re a little far from things but honestly it was nice to be out there. The only bad part was the heat, but it’s Florida so that’s to be expected, I would suggest putting fans under the big porch part. I was nervous planning our first vacation with a 10 month old baby but it was great. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Donald Sidbury

Host profile image
We are a father/daughter duo who loves to entertain and travel. Don is the Owner of Outlaw Marine located about 4 miles from our lake property. He loves being out on the water. Allison is a homeschooling mother of two who lives in Jacksonville, Florida. Here we hope to share the love of the sunshine state and lake life through our vacation rental.

Why they chose this property

Don grew up water skiing on this lake during his professional water skiing career where his two daughters grew up loving the lake life and learned to water ski at a very young age.

What makes this property unique

The sunsets and sunrises over the lake are to die for. We enjoy sitting out on the deck or on the sandy beach watching the boaters and soaking up the sunshine.
