About this property

Jungle Oasis in Lake City - Private Pool - Nature Getaway - Pet Friendly

Welcome to Jungle Oasis at Rose Creek—where mornings may begin with deer in the yard and afternoons are made for floating in your private pool!

Hidden among the trees in Lake City, this spacious, dog-friendly retreat gives you the peace and privacy of the country while keeping you close to Florida’s beautiful springs, rivers, trails and outdoor adventures.

With three guest bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living areas and plenty of room to spread out, there’s space for everyone to relax. Bring the family, invite your favorite people and don’t forget the dogs!

Step inside your own little slice of the Florida jungle!

Jungle Oasis at Rose Creek is colorful, comfortable and just a little wild—in the best possible way. Tropical décor brings the outdoors in, while the wooded property gives you plenty of privacy and possible visits from deer, wild birds and the occasional turkey.

Start your morning with coffee under the covered patio, spend the afternoon splashing in the private pool and end the day relaxing with your favorite people.

With two separate living areas, everyone can spread out—whether you’re watching a movie, playing games or sneaking away for a little quiet time.

The home includes three comfortable guest bedrooms and two full bathrooms. One oversized bedroom sleeps several guests comfortably, making it a great choice for families or groups.

READY TO EXPLORE?

Some of North Florida’s best outdoor adventures are just a short drive away:

* 10 miles to the sparkling waters of the Ichetucknee River
* 17 miles to O’Leno State Park, with its suspension bridge and disappearing river
* 20 miles to world-class diving at Ginnie Springs
* 26 miles to Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park on the Suwannee River
* 28 miles to the rapids at Big Shoals State Park
* Approximately 40 minutes to Gainesville

After your adventure, come home to the pool, the trees and your own private oasis.

Keyless self-check-in makes arriving simple and flexible. A smaller vehicle may fit in the garage, while trucks and larger vehicles can park comfortably in the driveway.

Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a getaway with friends, a dog-friendly adventure or a peaceful escape from everyday life, Jungle Oasis at Rose Creek is ready to welcome you!

GUEST ACCESS

The house, yard and private pool area are yours to enjoy!

The only areas not available to guests are one locked owner’s bedroom, two housekeeping closets and the red barn/shed outside.

BRINGING YOUR FOUR-LEGGED FAMILY MEMBERS?

We love dogs! Easy walk-through pet gates keep the front living room, dining room and two bedrooms pet-free, while still giving pets plenty of room in the designated pet-friendly areas of the house and the fully fenced backyard.

Your keyless-entry code will be sent on check-in day as soon as your Jungle Oasis is clean and ready for your arrival.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE

A few important details before beginning your jungle adventure:

* Please treat the home, property and its contents with care.
* The home is very pet-friendly, but the front living room, dining room and two bedrooms are designated pet-free areas. Easy walk-through gates help keep those spaces separate.
* The $50 pet fee covers up to two pets. Additional pets are $20 each per stay and will be requested through VRBO. Please include the correct number of guests and pets when booking.
* Children and pets must never be left outside or near the pool unattended.
* Wildlife is part of the fun, but please admire it from a safe distance. Never approach, feed or disturb wild animals.
* Exterior security cameras monitor the entrances, garage/driveway area and backyard.
* Our pool professional typically visits on Wednesday or Friday between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. He enters through the side gate and usually finishes quickly.
* Reservations of one month or longer require a mid-stay cleaning for $150. Payment will be requested through VRBO when the cleaning is scheduled.

Come for the pool, stay for the peace and quiet—and don’t be surprised if a deer stops by to welcome you!

About the host

Hosted by Ty Larkin

Host profile image
I’m a true Floridian, and I love the peace and natural beauty of this place. I hope my guests enjoy it just as much as I do.

Why they chose this property

The home is set in a peaceful wooded area that makes it easy to relax. We love having a quiet place to come home to while still being conveniently located for exploring Lake City, nearby springs, rivers, outdoor recreation, restaurants, and shopping. It’s a great home base for guests who want a combination of privacy, nature, and easy access to the area’s attractions.

What makes this property unique

Jungle Oasis is more than just a place to sleep—it’s a private getaway where families and friends can relax and spend time together. The highlight is the private pool surrounded by a lush, tropical feel that gives the property its “Jungle Oasis” personality. Over 2,000 sq ft plenty of space to spread out, and a pet-friendly setup, it works especially well for families, couples traveling together, and guests bringing their dogs. After a day exploring the springs and rivers, you can come back, cool off in the pool, and enjoy having the entire home to yourselves.
