Great Memories Made.

This was great location. Perfect for my son and I. We booked this for the Gator Nationals. It's close enough to be able to spend time doing things like fishing and just wasting time.

Peaceful and relaxing

It was very nice to be able to work out of town and feel relaxed and at home when you get off. Dock with fishing, nice screened in porch, beautiful view of the lake and clean home with a grill and equipped kitchen for cooking.

Peaceful Retreat

This property is beautiful and very well maintained. Being able to sit on the screened in porch overlooking the lake in the morning, watching the wildlife and again in the evening, listening to the frogs sing. The ceiling fan on the porch was great for the humid weather. The house is very nicely decorated, very clean, and provided everything I needed to cook for my family. I look forward to staying here in the future.

Beautiful lake view

Comfortable property by the lake. Comfortable beds and furniture. Since it was remote, the WiFi was spotty. The lake view was beautiful and you can walk to the water’s edge. Nature lover’s paradise.

Lake house

It was ok . Lake was beautiful , dock was older and no outside area near the dock it to sit or chairs . The backyard was filled with ant piles . We live here in Florida and understand it’s a constent battle with bugs . The back door did not properly lock the mechanism was damaged . We notified the host but did not get a response back . Trim is coming off the door in master suite . Gas grill did not have propane . If it would have stated to provide propane we would have purchased and bought with us. Fire pit was more of a burn pile . The inside was clean but older . It was a good price for the accommodations .

Quiet place on the lake

I was doing some hunting in local area and needed a place to stay. If you want a quiet place to enjoy the lake this is a good choice.....bring food and drinks I didn’t see any stores close by. No cable tv. Fire stick though.
