The home was perfect for two, and can accommodate an overnight guest or two! There's so much nature to take in, we loved the entire area! Beautiful neighborhood to bike or take strolls. The back yard was a good spot to watch sunsets, and we enjoyed paddling our kayaks in the lake. Lots of nice touches in the house, well-appointed kitchen, we would definitely visit again.

The lake house was so peaceful and relaxing. Being right on the lake was special treat as we love watching the birds. This home was located very close to Rainbow Springs and was one of the reasons we chose this home. The owner had so many extra special touches that made us feel right at home

Excellent weekend getaway

Adorable getaway spot to relax and unwind! The beds were super comfortable and I loved the twin beds for my two kids! I appreciated the thoughtful touches like s’mores supplies and refrigerated filtered water. We will be back!

Absolutely beautiful lake view! House was fully furnished with everything needed for a long weekend! Bed was so comfortable-hard to get up and get going. Florida room was perfect for dining and watching the sunset. Outdoor fire pit was perfect for a cold evening as the sun went down and listening to the Sandhill cranes roosting on the lake! My only wish was there was a t.v. In the master bedroom-otherwise everything was absolutely perfect. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us.
