Lakeside Location & Boating Safety

Please note: We have one boat slip used by a friend who rents his boat to our guests at a discount. More info will be in the guidebook after booking. The other covered slip will be for your boat. We also have tie ups.

The water off the dock is very deep, and swimming or boating is at your own risk

Enjoyable Stay for Wedding Weekend

We stayed here with friends during our wedding weekend, as our venue was in Gainesville. The house is beautiful and had plenty of space for everyone to sleep comfortably. The views are beautiful and it was the best part of the stay. All the amenities were great, of course. I would recommend this place to others.

Wonderful Christmas stay!

We had a wonderful time at Tera’s house! It was plenty big for 6 adults and 4 teenagers. The kids enjoyed the pool table and poker, and the adults enjoyed the spacious living room and kitchen for games as well as the fire pit and coffee options. Close to restaurants etc even though it feels rural. Loved it!

Getaway Weekend

Property was perfect for our friends getaway! Accommodations were exactly what was advertised and we all felt more than comfortable. Boat Dock was nice, we brought our boat and Waverunner and tied up no problem. Steep walkway from lake which was our daily workout! Would stay here again!

Mountain paradise

We had a wonderful stay at Knotty Pines. The house is beautiful, very clean, well stocked with all cookware. The dock is large, we had some nice nights watching the otters on the river. Beds are comfortable. The fireplace was nice. We saw a few deer. Tera is very nice and responded very quickly to all my questions. We would definitely stay here again!

Family Celebration

I just had a birthday and my grandson just graduated from high school so this was a get together for our family. The house was absolutely stunning and full of every possible thing that you could or need. Air-conditioning was great, beds were comfy. Lots of space for everyone! We really enjoyed the pool table and the double dock. Even though we had rain Saturday morning, we still had a blast!

Country lake

The property was very nice and located in a very quiet wooded area. Room situation was good for our family because the girls had an area all to themselves and so did the boys. It was nice to step out onto the porch in the morning and have deer visiting. Access to the dock was a little challenging and that information was fully explained. Life jackets of all sizes were provided so it wasn't difficult for everyone to have one that fit. Overall it was a great time.

Beautiful Property

The house is beautiful, spacious and had all the amenities that you need. Even on the rainy day, we had the opportunity to play pool on the lower level, darts on the main floor and cards on the 2nd floor. It has a wonderful kitchen that was well stocked with everything you needed to cook a wonderful meal. There are 3 decks that were wonderful for enjoying the beautiful evenings. It was a quite refuge for our family and we had a wonderful long weekend. The location is excellent where you have seclusion but are less than 10 minutes away for the Kroger and Publix and several restaurants. Getting to downtown Gainsville to enjoy the great restaurants and coffee shops on the square was quick and easy. Tera was an exceptional host checking on us to make sure we were OK after the storm in the area. This listing is one of the most accurate of any property that I have rented and I would highly recommend this property for a large group gathering. Thank you Tera and Jason!!
