When you come in from a long day fishing, you want to have enough room for the whole group to relax. With all the couches, recliners, & cushion chairs we were able to do that just fine. Most places don’t have this. The house is very clean & the air conditioner makes it very comfortable. This was a great place to stay.
Everything exactly as it should be. We accidentally ran over one of the lawn lights and didn't have to pay for it!

About the host
Your host
My husband and I have never lived anywhere other than beautiful Kentucky. We love to fish, (but just at Okeechobee), enjoy our grandchildren, go to services at church, and I play at pickleball. He loves to hunt moose, elk and deer. We love to share the comfort of our serene getaway home with other visitors who are Okeechobee fishing enthusiasts .
Why they chose this property
We love the Buckhead Ridge Community where this house is located due the close proximity to the lake and river. The Buckhead moose Lodge is just down the street for great catfish on Friday night and so is a quaint little market / restaurant. It’s such a close , friendly community full of people who care for each other, wrapping it in charm .
What makes this property unique
2000 sq. foot house has plenty of room for privacy or interaction with friends and family. Huge carport would make a great pickleball court! Get in out of the rain from parking without even getting wet! It is Beautifully decorated in calming blue accenting the natural colors of the canal at the back yard.
