About this property

Boat Friendly!! "Fisherman's Haven" by Lake Harris/ Bass Fishing HQ

This home is the perfect location to fish all of Central Florida’s lakes. Located within a 5-minute drive to boat ramps on Lake Harris (Ski Beach), Lake Eustis (Buzzard Beach), Lake Dora, Lake Griffin and more. Bring your boat and keep it covered under the new, large carport- big enough for two boats/ trailers with electric and water. Two additional boats can set up next to the carport. Electrical can accommodate 4 boats at once! Property is large enough for additional parked vehicles. Bring on the tournament fishing by spending less time driving to your lake and more time fishing.

Fisherman’s Haven is newly remodeled with 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. New kitchen with granite countertops and shaker style cabinets. Enjoy cooking using new stainless-steel appliances. Kitchen is fully stocked and ready for preparing meals or your favorite beverage.

Each bedroom is newly furnished with comfortable beds, plush linens and new flat screen TV’s. Fast internet and a smart TV subscription includes Peacock TV and all your favorite streaming. The master bedroom boasts a king size bed and ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom comfortably provides two full beds. The third bedroom is made cozy with a queen size bed. The fourth bedroom stays cool with a dedicated AC unit, two twin beds and a couch for kicking back. The living room sectional hides a pull-out sofa bed. The quiet area and expansive rooms can sleep 8-10 guests with a total of 6 beds.

Angler’s and friends alike will enjoy the ease of launching a boat into the surrounding lakes. Spend your day catching a big bass or trolling through the chain of lakes to see the abundant wildlife in the area. Lake Harris and surrounding lakes are a top destination in Central Florida to fish for largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill and more! Enjoy seeing alligators and watching Sandhill Cranes along the banks. Easily dock at lakeside restaurants and watch a beautiful sunset while you eat. After a fun filled day on the water, return to Fisherman’s Haven and have a drink at the kitchen bar or slip outside near the fire pit and enjoy the evening.

The area has many things to do and places to see. Annual festivals, museums, parks, hiking trails, fishing, boating, kayaking, restaurants, bars, shopping and even sea planes. Orlando & Central Florida attractions are less than an hour drive away. Visit Ocala National Forrest or discover hidden caves.

Very clean home. Rocks under shed made it a little difficult to pull out on motorcycles but host says that will be addressed. Not far from downtown Leesburg and great home base if you like to ride. One of the cleanest and neatest places Ive stayed on bike trips.

Great Trip

Dorothy’s property is incredibly nice and spacious inside, and the enclosed backyard is great for gathering in the evenings after a day of fishing. She is a great host and immediately responds to any communication. We had three boats and trucks on the property, and the access road to a handful of homes made it very convenient to get in and out. Great location for fishing any of the Harris Chain lakes.

Fantastic To Say The Least

Ms. Dorothy’s Fisherman’s Getaway was nothing short of spectacular. The boys and I were in town for the yearly Leesburg Bikefest and was the perfect distance for enjoying the local festivities. Every room was perfectly equipped and super comfortable. The amenities available were exceptional as we typically do an eat in dinner with the crew, so we barbecued some steaks with the onsite grill, sat around the fire pit and enjoyed the evening laughing reminiscing our travels. Looking forward to next year and hopefully, Fisherman’s Getaway is available. Thank you for everything Ms. Dorothy!!!
