Relaxing vacation home.

Our family had a nice relaxing vacation. Great fishing on the lake. Silver Springs State Park is close by, and we enjoyed the glass bottom boat. Hoping to make this an annual family vacation spot.

Birthday weekend

The lake view was perfect for a morning cup of coffee. At night, there was wooden logs that were great to start the fireplace for a great ending to the day. It was a wonderful stay.

Peace, quiet, tranquility, and beautiful views

The water view from the lake to the pool made it a relaxing weekend celebrating a 40 year career and retirement with friends. Being close to Silver Springs State Park made that for a great days adventure and then back to relax in the pool.

Lake vacay

We loved this property! The home is inviting and large, with comfortable beds and all the amenities we needed for our visit. The pool is refreshing and was great fun for the kids. We enjoyed the kayaks- a first for 2 of the kids who were with us. I highly recommend this vacation home!

Great house for many possible vacations. We were there in February and did not use the pool or the lake. Both would be great in March or April. No problems all week. Great house!

Loved the house very spacious for 4 children and 4 adults . We were close to the springs which was why we booked here. Kids and dads loved fishing outback and kayaks. Perfect for what we were looking for and house had everything you would need !

Awesome spot

Overall one of the better rentals I have stayed in - kitchen well stocked with glasses, plates and all required utensils. Three bathrooms is a plus and the beds were so comfortable. Outstanding yard and even a beach! Lake is nice to paddle around and I bet its a great swim in warmer weather. Pool, however, is not heated so it remained unused during our March visit and that was the one disappointment.

Visiting the springs

The house was very nice and comfortable. We enjoyed the pool, the lake, and the proximity to all the Springs that we wanted to visit. There were four of us two couples. Age ranging from 58 to 66.
