Relaxing place

I stayed here with my adult children. The home was very nice. We all loved the screened in porch. Lots of things to do in the area. Our favorite was kayaking down Silver River. We went on a few other hikes in the area and played frisbee golf

Great house for family stay.

Our stay was great. The house, porch and lake view were perfect. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed to cook and/or grill with a large kitchen table. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable beds. I would recommend this home and it was pet friendly.

A wonderful place to stay!

We had an amazing stay at the Lake House. If you’re looking for a quiet place to get away and relax this is it! The house is clean and inviting. It is in a great location, right in the middle of some awesome state parks and attractions. Although, the view from the screened in porch is so great you may never want to leave it!

My husband I checked in and we had a couple issues in the beginning. Owner was quick to respond, which was nice. The beds were extremely comfortable and the softest sheets and cabin is as cute as can be. I would recommend this property.

Beautiful place to share with the family, it met all expectations and more than we expected. Beautiful decoration of the cabin, clean, enough kitchen utensils, as well as in the bathroom. My children really enjoyed the bonfire at night, the canoes in the lake.Super quiet and spacious place.We suggest it 100%.

Great vacation spot

This was a great getaway for us. The description of the property was spot on. We used all the amenities the home had to offer daily (with the exception of the fire pit, it was just too hot out). The proximity of stores and attractions was fantastic. The atmosphere of the home is exactly what we expected and would definitely recommend this place .

Lake Cabin

This is our 2nd time staying here and loved it! The property is gorgeous and it's nice having the canoes and kayaks to use. The only downside was our poor dog ate a shrimp with a hook on it and it got lodged in his esophagus. We had to take him to UF Emergency Vet Hospital. He stayed 3 days, but is doing well now. We would definitely stay again!

Labor Day getaway

Cabin was extremely clean which makes the stay so much more enjoyable! Everything was provided (minus trash bags but no biggie, the grocery store was not far). The paddle boat was fun for the kids and the kayaks was fun for the grownups. Would definitely come back the next time we want to visit the Springs

Peaceful Get-a-way for residents in Florida

A wonderful, peaceful experience in Ocala, Florida. Everything about the property allows for a relaxing vacation. The entire property is how authors describe beautiful scenery in books over the course of the last century, in particular, Central Florida. Picturesque from the back porch in the morning, afternoon, and evening. I would highly recommend!

Relaxing time

The place is beautiful and very clean. The view across the lake was amazing and very relaxing sitting on the porch. However, there were a few things I would have liked different during our four night stay. We only had 1 dishcloth and 1 dish towel. Also my husband and I only had 3 towels and 3 wash clothes ((The same for our two friends who stayed upstairs.) and there were no extra blanket for on the bed. It was 39 degrees one night. I would stay agai but I would take some towels and a blanket.
