Very cute property I was glad that we were the only ones that had rented the house. It would’ve been a little awkward with other people a hot tub saved the day. It was very nice. Cover was very tricky to get back on. Felt like they could’ve spruce up the property of it with some fresh plants. And lots of dead stuff could use a spruce up.

Just to respond a bit to your review, the jacuzzi is not a listed amenity and is for our personal use, We had a lot of storms and fires in the area, the pool was spotless when we left, but from the weather can turn pretty quick. Thank you for leaving the place neat and tidy!

Nick and Ericka were extremely attentive and gracious hosts! The place looks exactly like the pics, and the hosts went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable! Nick lit the bonfire for us each night, they had all the things you don't think of- charcoal for the grill, big spray, etc. Definitely recommend this place for some peace and relaxation!!

My family and I have stayed in a number of rentals over the years, and though we understand there aren't too many options when renting in this part of Florida, we did not feel this cabin was worth the price. The kitchen was not the most well-equipped and the refrigerator made a lot of noise throughout the night. We were thankful to be close to the lake, which is why we selected the cabin, but we felt it was overpriced.

Thank you for staying and the kind words. The Roku has 100+ channels, sorry if it did not have the one you wanted, but may have been able to have been programmed while you were here. maybe next time, you could let us know before or during your stay

Cozy stay

We enjoyed our stay here, it was clean, cozy, and matched all the photos. I will say that I wish I had known the last 0.3 miles of the drive is very rough dirt roads. I would have driven the Jeep instead of the brand new Camry. Other than that, it was a pleasant visit.

Perfect to reconnect with nature

The property is quaint and off the beaten track. The property owners treated us like family; we could not have asked for a more enjoyable trip. If you’re looking for shopping and spas, etc. The property is about a half hour from town, so this is might not be the place for you. It’s exactly what we were looking for though.

Went for OHV trail riding and had a great time. Property location had decent road access for my 18' trailer and I could park it completely within the property fence and close the gate with it hooked to the tow vehicle. I did not see lake access but also did not go looking for it. It is a lower level rental where the owner stays upstairs but it was easy to forget they were there as it was quiet and relaxing. Neighbors were very polite when I got a bit lost due to bad Google directions (do not go straight at the signs, turn right instead). Good place for a single rider or couple to stay for OHV riding. Don't miss the opportunity to go to Odd Todd's if you're in the area. Some of the best food around.

Rural Experience

Erika and Nick are very accommodating hosts. Rental is nice. This is a very rural experience so make sure that is what you are looking for. Road in is dirt and very rough. Which was fine for us. Note: there is no pool as stated.

Rustic Rural Cabin

We had a good stay! Host was very nice and helpful when we had a need. Cabin is off the beaten path. If you cannot live without Verizon cell service, this would not be an area for you. Host does offer WiFi at the cabin. There’s a river within walking distance if you like to do a little fishing. If you plan on swimming in the pool, I recommend double checking with the host to make sure it is open for use. Same with the hot tub. Charcoal grill available for guest use.

Cozy Remote Getaway Near Ocala Natl Forest

My woman and I had a wonderful time here. The host was very accommodating and the interior was thoroughly clean and inviting. The road to get to the property itself is in dire need of maintenance, but that’s nothing to do with the property itself. The one critique is the pool; it was dirty (had to clean it myself) and there were electrical outlets & wires running by the steps into the pool. That aside, we had no complaints and only praise.
