With lake on three sides you get both sunrise and sunset over the water. A private boat ramp, over-water dock with patio table, covered boat slip, kayaks, canoe, paddle boat, jon boat, tubes, water skis, knee board and wakeboard are all here for you to enjoy for free. Bring your own boat or watercraft if you like or rent our on-site hybrid deck boat.

This 5000 sq.ft. home is handicapped-accessible and has 5 bedrooms (three of them en-suites), 4 bathrooms plus 3 additional sleeping areas for up to 22 guests. All bedding is provided. Dual fireplaces, full laundry, a spacious family room with 270 degree lake views and a pool table, dart board, table-top suffleboard and wide-screen TV. There are board games, outdoor games and activities for kids all on site too. If you are bringing your dog(s) there is a huge shady fenced-in area lakeside where they can run freely.
The kitchen is huge and comes with plenty of pots, pans, cups, mugs, dual coffee makers, double oven and Jenn-Air stove with built-in grill and griddle. Pretty much everything you need is there. An outdoor propane BBQ grill is also on site.
The second-floor master suite is huge and French doors open up to the balcony overlooking the lake to the north and east. The sunrises there are often breathtaking! Enjoy your coffee up on the balcony or take the stairs down to the patio area. There is lots of lakeside seating, and evenings by the lakeside fire pit bring everyone together!
There is a 20 ft hybrid deck boat available for rent with cushioned seating for 9-10. Local attractions include the quaint downtown Inverness area with shopping, antiques, parks, restaurants and more. A 1/3 mile oval racetrack is in town, as well as the county fairgrounds with various events throughout the year. Airboat rides are nearby, scenic bike trail too just minutes from the property. Everything is within a 3-12 minute drive so although you have a tranquil spot on the lake, the entire town is conveniently close and easily accessible.

Great house for a family vacation! We loved the firepit for making s'mores. The kids enjoyed rides in the paddle boat as well. The host is easy to communicate with. We would book this home again in the future.
The home is beautiful, and has everything you could ever need. We had the whole family out for Christmas and were surprised to see the while house decorated and there was even a christmas tree there. Will try to stay here again if we come back to this area.
We had a wonderful stay in this absolutely beautiful house. The lake view is so peaceful and the house is equipped with everything that you could possibly need. We look forward to staying here again - hopefully many times. It is perfect for a family vacation.
The house was amazing ! Very clean so many nice features and toys at our disposal. Beautiful view . Great communication between the owner . Would definitely go back again !
Outstanding location, spacious house, fully stocked for LOTS of people to have fun on the water! There are two single kayaks and a double, canoe, rowboat, and a pedal boat, complete with so many life jackets in every size, even the little kids, even the big guys — all included with the house. We rented the big boat and had so much fun popping over to Inverness for the playground, antique shopping, and ice cream (check out Sweet Alps, even the people with a million food allergies come away happy!). Hosts extremely accommodating and very prompt response time. Family trip for 11 with per in tow, wonderful memories made! The views of the lake are NOT oversold!
We loved our stay here, everything you could possibly think of was provided. Family friendly, pet friendly! Plenty of space for a large group. Thank you!
This is a beautiful property for families to bond and enjoy a really great time. Patty and Mark made sure every detail is in place for a comfortable stay.
I recommend this place and will definitely return!
The property was easy to find, had everything perfectly labeled and had every type of kitchen appliance you would need. Had a great grill for cookouts plus a fire pit for s’mores. Very easy boat access, and a perfect location. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice relaxing place to fish, boat and get away from it all
Great house right on the lake!! Wonderful views. The house had everything we needed and was super comfortable! We highly recommend this home for a vacation stay.
Sincerely,
Matt & Diane C.
We had a wonderful stay at this lakefront home! Private lake views with plenty of room for our dogs and a large fenced area for them as well! The house was enormous and had plenty of space for multiple families! This would make a great place for a large family gatherings or family reunion!

Thank you Delora, it was a pleasure having you as a guest! We're dog owners ourselves so we're glad you were able to enjoy your stay with yours. Please feel free to bring even more friends and family with you next time!
This lake front house was the perfect family getaway. The house had plenty of space for our big group and was well stocked with house hold items. We really enjoyed the views from the deck, using the fire pit at night and kayaking on the lake. The hosts were very attentive and answered any questions we had promptly. We would definitely stay here again!

So glad to hear you enjoyed your stay, we hope to see you again soon!
We were in town for a family event and thoroughly enjoyed our stay on the lake. We grew up in Inverness and have been looking for a great place to stay when we come back to visit. It is one of the prettiest properties on the lake. It is set on a peninsula so we got to watch beautiful sunrises and sunsets. This house exceeded our expectations. The hosts thought of every detail inside and out.
We had a wonderful time at this large and well stocked house, including a boat ride on beautiful Lake Henderson and an evening by the fire pit. The walkway around the yard looks like something you’d find in a state park. Definitely want to stay more than one day next time.

We look forward to having you back again. Thank you!
To start with the hosts Mark and Patty have gone above and beyond for their guests. From extra blankets, sheets and towels to a fully stocked kitchen. The boat and jet skis were a big blast for our group. We even caught 3 really large bass right off of the deck.
Our long weekend was worth every penny !!!!

About the host
Hosted by Patty Stadnyk
We love making great memories with our friends and family and we want our house to be a place where you can do the same.
Why they chose this property
There are very few houses on this single-block street and by being on the peninsula you have a semi-private retreat with no through-traffic.
What makes this property unique
We are a rare peninsula property with gorgeous views of the lake to the east, west and north. Everything you need is on site including boats, ramp, dock, beach, patio with fire pit, and easy access to all of the amenities in the area.
