Very clean, comfortable and cozy house with an amazing lake view. We were there for a motorcycle event on a park near by. The house had all we needed. This was our third time there and we are looking forward to repeat the visit next year.
This was the second visit at the Lakehouse and once again we loved it. This is one of the most relaxing stays and has plenty of room for a large family. We hope to get back again soon!
The property was clean and plenty of room for our whole family, convenient to shops of Keystone, one a beautiful quiet lake and access to the kayaks and canoes was an added bonus!!
We enjoyed our peaceful stay by the lake. The kayaks, canoe, paddleboat and other boat were fun! Great view off the sunroom. Beds were comfy and our pup liked the fenced in yard. Winn Dixie is about 10 minutes away. Great getaway!
I can’t say enough about this this property everything was magnificent and the hospitality was wonderful and I will stay there again and again, and again I love this property
I loved this home and the location. A lot of the items in the home are original and coupled with antique furniture gave me the feeling of spending the week at my grandma's house when iv was a kid. Fun place to stay.
We were there with friends for a motorcycle event nearby. The house was the perfect accommodation for a peaceful sleep. This is the second time we’ve been here and we will come back.
We stayed last year and it was amazing. We knew we would be back. The kids enjoyed the water toys and fishing. We also enjoyed the sun room and the large table to share dinner and play late night cards. Thank you for sharing this house!
We loved everything about our stay there. We liked the small town feel of Keystone Hts and the lake house itself was perfect. I would highly recommend this to any family looking for a great opportunity to vacation together. Thanks so much
We did a Girl’s weekend at Scott and Aimee’s lake house and the views were wonderful! Aimee and Scott have done a great job of including everything you could possibly need to enjoy a relaxing getaway!! Aimee was quick to respond to all my questions and gave us great recommendations. Thank you for letting us stay in such a beautiful spot!
My wife, my son, and my sister all stayed here while we visited my parents in Keystone Heights. It worked out great. We didn't have to inconvenience my parents by packing into their house. Everyone had plenty of space and my son really loved kayaking, swimming and trying to catch minnows.
Lovely lake views with beautiful sunrises, birds and stars at night. Thus us rhe real Florida. Vintage quality furniture yet modern kitchen and baths. Lots of personal cozy spaces to read or chat. Great getaway place
This was a great place for my family of four and in-laws to stay on our trip to Florida. The house was quaint and well laid out for our group. The house was on a beautiful lake and had a well maintained beach and all the amenities that we needed. Would highly recommend!
My family loved our stay here! Beds were comfortable and the home was full of fun things to do when it got too hot outside! Puzzles, Jenga, cards and Wii were played! The outdoor spaces were so lovely too. We made many memories around the fire pit.
Words and pictures can not capture how great this property is. The back porch overlooking the lake, under all the trees is just amazing and peaceful. The house is fantastic, very clean, comfortable, and very well equipped. They have thought of everything and everything was there to make our stay fantastic. If our travels take us back to keystone heights, we will definitely stay here again. You can’t go wrong renting this place.
We had a short notice cancellation for another property. Aimee fit our 8-person group in at literally the last minute and saved our vacation! The property was great, clean and very relaxing! We will go back again!

About the host
Hosted by Aimee Olmsted
We are a husband and wife team that have been in the long term rental business for almost 30 years. Our specialty is finding the properties that no one else wants ("extreme fixer uppers"), seeing the potential behind the disaster, and turning them back into a home. We love our jobs and are very hands on, doing most of the work ourselves. After finishing the remodel of this spectacular lake house, we decided the property was too special not share with others, which is why we are opening it up to the short term rental market. The house was originally a "Camp Blanding" structure brought over to this site in 1949 to be a family vacation lake house and had an addition built onto it in the 70's. It had been owned by the same family, passed down through the generations, until we purchased it in 2021. Although it has had a complete remodel, we tried to save as many of the original features as possible (original hardwood floors, door knobs, to name a few). This house will most definitely give you an old Florida feel while still experiencing all the comforts of modern living.
Why they chose this property
Our lake house is the perfect family vacation spot. Our nephew (age 10) summed it up nicely... "Why do we need to go anywhere...all the fun is right here at the house."
You have private access to a piece of Lake Geneva, fishing poles are provided, lake toys and floats are there as well for beach and swimming time. There is fire pit for s'more making, a bench swing for relaxing, canoe for exploring the lake, sunroom for pleasant conversations or much needed naps, plenty of board games for the rainy days, a Wii, and Netflix for movie watching. There is a huge, fully-outfitted kitchen (we've tried to think of everything) for making that famous family favorite, or a grill on the back porch located right off the kitchen for easier meal preparation and a table for outside dining. Also, there is plenty of bird life for those avian enthusiasts!
But if you feel the need to explore past the property, we are located about an hour from the beaches or the many natural springs North Florida, making a day trip very manageable (we do it all the time ourselves).
Very quiet neighborhood. The house is located at the end of a cul-de-sac directly on Lake Geneva. About 30 minutes to Gainesville, Starke, Middleburg, or Palatka. Lots of amenities within 5-10 minutes including multiple restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies, liquor stores, gas stations, fast food chains, etc...
What makes this property unique
The Lake! It is usable in everyway; swimming, boating, fishing, bird/wildlife watching. etc.
The Large Kitchen! Create your family favorites with this fully stocked kitchen (I have tried to think of everything you might need)
The Firepit! We stock it with firewood for you to enjoy a relaxing fire for s'more making, story telling, or just some quiet reflect time.
The Sunroom! A favorite spot of past guests for napping, board games, family meals, or conversations.
