Enjoy the crystal clear waters of this spring-fed lake nestled in a very rural setting just two hours from Jacksonville, one hour from Tallahassee and just 30 minutes from Valdosta, GA. Cherry Lake is ideal for swimming, skiing, tubing, jet skis, and fishing. Large mouth bass and fresh water brim are plentiful in Cherry Lake.

Bring your boat and enjoy your favorite water sports. It is approximately a mile in diameter, almost a perfect circle in shape with a total of about 500 acres. This home has its own private dock.

There is an additional room with two twins off the downstairs bedroom, and a small room with one twin and a crib adjoining the upstairs bedroom. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you will need for large family meals. There is a Keurig and a drip coffee maker. Linens are provided.

In the evening enjoy a marshmallow roast or a campfire sing-along in the outdoor campfire area. Whether you're a golf enthusiast or an amateur, you will love our Golf Pong game. Putters and balls are provided. Fishing equipment is provided and there is no license required to fish from the dock. Get out on the water with the use of a kayak or paddle board provided for your fun and enjoyment. Life vests are also available for your use. For the young or the young at heart, a 50 foot rope swing is a thrilling good time for all. A huge yard provides space for yard games and plenty of space for the little ones to run around.

If you’re looking for a charming, peaceful lakefront retreat with all the comforts of home, this is an absolute gem!We loved our stay at this beautiful lake house! We enjoyed peaceful mornings by the water, beautiful views throughout the day, and quiet evenings that made it easy to completely unwind.The house itself is spacious, comfortable, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. The kitchen was wonderful for preparing meals, and the living spaces were perfect for spending time together. There was plenty to enjoy both indoors and outside, making this an ideal getaway for relaxing and making great memories.

Our family of 14 was in town to visit wild adventures. This was one of the only options that would accommodate all of us. It truly exceeded our expectations. The house itself was beautiful and beautifully decorated. There were so many bedrooms and everyone in our family had a bed to sleep in. The lake was very nice, and I thought it was such a kind gesture that the host provided fishing poles, lifejackets, a paddleboard and even a kayak. We will definitely be back the next time we are in that area.

This is the second time my family has stayed here. The house is perfect for a large family celebration. The house was clean, kitchen fully stocked, and the blackstone grill was awesome. The rope swing was great for three children and the lake sunsets were perfect. I highly recommend Southern Charm.

We had a great stay! We had 3 families staying together, and there was plenty of room for everyone to have space. The home was clean, and the kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. Our kids loved fishing from the dock, playing in the putting area and swinging from the rope swing. The lake and dock area are beautiful....pictures online don't do it justice. We would definitely book here again.

Unfortunately, we were a little disappointed. There was a used feminine hygiene product found in the bedPower went out twice for hours , no fault of the owner but there was one flash light, one lantern (that did not work well) needed batteries and only two candles. The window sills needed cleaning (dead bugs) and we had to wipe down porch furniture before we could use them.

About the host

Hosted by Tina S. Radloff

Host profile image

My husband and I have three wonderful children. We love our time at the lake. It has become a family treasure to us.

Why they chose this property

I grew up spending summers at the lake with my family. These were priceless memories that we wanted for our children.

What makes this property unique

Cherry Lake is a beautiful, spring fed lake. I like the fact that the water is clean and clear. Our children have learned to knee board, wake board and wake skate on the lake. Of course, tubing is an all time favorite for them, as well as all their friends who come to visit.
