Lakefront home on Lake Kerr near Salt Springs with large porch and great yard
Located in Salt Springs in the Ocala National Forest, this renovated 2 bedroom / 1 bath home is set on nearly a half-acre of beautiful lakefront yard. Enjoy the view from the amazing, oversized porch, relax on the hammock, or have fun roasting marshmallows in the firepit. You'll also enjoy the area's many activities such as fishing, swimming in the lake or nearby springs, hiking, or trail riding.
You are welcome to bring your boat, and there is a public boat launch nearby. However, please understand that there is not a private dock available onsite. There is a community shared dock very closely located within walking distance, but it is quite high during low water times and can be a little challenging for entering and exiting a boat. You are welcome to beach your boat at the shoreline for easier access getting in and out. We allow a maximum of two watercraft to be there. Please be respectful of the neighbors and understand that their dock and floating platform are not ours and not for guest use.
We have security cameras with sound monitoring located on the exterior of the home for the safety of our property and our guests. No smoking or vaping inside and no pets of any kind, please.
Unfortunately, due to problems we've had with large groups, we must insist that there can be no visitors over the number of people that you have on the reservation. If it is found that you have additional visitors (the neighbors call), you will be required to immediately leave the property. There are areas nearby that are better suited to large group parties such as Moorhead Park or the Salt Springs Recreation Area.
Thank you, and we look forward to having you!

The property's setting on a clean beautiful lake. The cabin was a great blend of rustic and casual, perfect for relaxing. The large yard is crowned with 250 year old oak trees with sweeping huge/long branches providing shade and spaces for the birds and squirrels. That is my idea of a perfect escape. This was my second visit, I will be back

Great property to stay at. The property manager and owner went well above and beyond to help us. We needed a place to stay while the hurricane came through and it was perfect.
Perfect peaceful clean cabin in the woods with a beautiful lake view! We will be back.

The written directions to get to the cabin were misleading, using Fort McCoy as the address rather than Salt Spring. Using them we were misled by approximately 10-15 miles. This was at 10pm. Fortunately the lady helping manage the cabin called us and tried to talk us into the right path. When she realized we were helplessly lost, she drove 15 miles to personally guide us to the cabin. The cabin itself was very nice. The shower bath tub set up is in desperate need of shower safety bars and a rubber mat on the tub floor.

We are sorry you were mislead in the given required Google location. We have updated the address with VRBO .
We also list our amenities of our home and safety bar is not listed in any description of those amenities, We are sorry you did not confirm it before booking your stay..But we certainly hope you enjoyed your stay and will return again in the future ..
Thank you , Myra
We had such a wonderful time. It was clean and spacious. The only thing I would note that needs work is the pluming. The shower wouldnt drain properly and had to wait a while for it to go down. But overall we had a wonderful time and would definitely stay again!

Hi, We appreciate the great review and looking forward to your return in the future..and Yes we apologize for any issue you had with the plumbing we are currently having it addressed and repaired..
The weather so nice, we decided Lake Kerr was calling us for a quick getaway. We packed, hooked the jet ski up and were off. The property and cabin were very nice and the time away was just what we needed. The cabin has everything you need and was just a few steps from the beautiful water. I would have liked the swimming area to have been a little larger and cleaned out a little more for larger groups to sit out in .
