Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Mike Barker

Hello, I’m Mike and grew up in the lake region area. I currently reside in Jacksonville and Lake Rosa House is our families get away. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
The lake and the property. Lake Rosa is a clear sand bottom private lake (no public access). The water is cool year round and great for fishing, wake boarding, wake surfing, and tubing. The property is over 3 acres with mature oak trees that provide great privacy.
What makes this property unique
It is a newer home with the main house having been redone recently and the guest house being new construction (in last 6 years).
