Lake Kerr

This is one of the cleanest places I have ever stayed in. Stocked kitchen with everything you would need. Great view of the lake. Very cordial home ownner. We even got to see deer, sandhill cranes and many other birds. Would stay there again in a heart beat. Almost forgot, great little sand beach with boat access also a fishing pier or a place to sit and admire the lake.

Beautiful view

Me and my wife loved that they had their own boat ramp and boat dock. So we could keep our boat docked and ready to take off whenever. We will probably use this spot every year for my family reunion.

Lovely lake home

I take my twin granddaughters on a mini vacation each year and this year we chose to come here. We had a great time! The house is small but very comfortable and plenty of space for the three of us. The girls are 12 and they had an amazing time swimming and paddling around on the youth size canoes. It is quiet and I was able to relax on the covered porch and the covered dock and read and watch the girls play. The girls have already said they want to go back on our vacation next summer. Thanks for a wonderful few days filled with memorie!
Canoes were a huge hit with the kids

Little slice of heaven

Great long weekend get away loved the sunrises and fishing in the morning. Property was very clean easy to get to. Owners are a sweet couple who are there if you need anything and very easy to talk to. The access to the water was perfect for unloading and loading your boat. Beautiful views of the lake sitting under the covered dock. Can’t wait to come back. Awesome place.

Weekday getaway to paradise

I would like to thank Diane and Tom for Allowing us to stay at their piece of paradise. We stayed at the McDade cottage this visit, could not ask for more comfortable and peaceful accommodations. Time slows down on Lake Kerr you truly have time to relax. We hope we can come back soon! Thank you so much Tom and Ann Gold

Wonderful few days in the Ocala National Forest

The cottage sits on Lake Kerr. The accommodations were very clean and comfy. You get a great view of the lake from the living room. My son and I enjoyed fishing for bass from the dock, and provided canoe. The cottage was in a great location for us to enjoy all the Ocala National forest had to offer. Tom and Diane were very helpful and their hospitality was top notch. We will definitely make a return trip

LAKE KERR

THE LOCATION WAS GOOD BUT TOO MUCH MONEY FOR THE STAY. I FOUND A FILTHY OVEN, DIRTY FLOORS, DIRTY DISHES. THE PLACE NEEDS A DEEP CLEANING. I DIDN'T LIKE THAT THERE WERE OPEN WINDOWS IN THE LIVING AREA. IT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE OF THE VIEW BUT IT MADE ME FEEL UNEASY. NEEDS SOME KIND OF WINDOW DRESSING. WOULD NOT RETURN.

Great for a lake side weekend (or week)

Stayed here with my wife and two kids. We really enjoyed our 3-day weekend. Lots for kids and adults to do. Beach, swim, canoe, fish, hike, fire pit or just be lazy on the dock all day. Lake Kerr is very clean. And, If you're a boat owner, then even better! The cottage is on a compound of 3 buldings - 2 rental cottages (McDade and Jones) and the property owners residence. Each is spaced far enough apart so you feel as though you have your own space to hang out on the porch and still have your privacy. The hosts really are thoughtful and thorough to make sure your stay is enjoyable. One small critique I would make about the McDade listing (and this is just my opinion) is that while it does technically sleep 4. The futon pullout is not recommended for two adults but 2 adults and 2 children will work fine. However there is ample space if you brought and air mattress. I would be comfortable to recommend this vrbo to others and I would strongly considering coming back again.

Already trying to plan time to come back! It was the perfect trip-just needed more time. The renovations are well done and the view can’t be beat. Diane and Tom are great hosts and even set us up a fire for s’mores. Our kids had a blast.
