The cottage provided a perfect place to escape. It had everything we needed and was comfortable. Near multiple springs and hiking trails. We brought our own kayaks and had plenty of room for storage. The owner was very friendly and helpful.

Jeff and Joan were wonderful, helpful and informative. Accommodations were spacious and clean and the view on the water side of the cottage lovely. So nice to sit outside and enjoy the variety of wild shore birds. This location made a good central spot for our day trips in all directions which was a real plus.

I can’t wait to return to this VRBO! The beauty of the area plus the peace and quiet was priceless. The cottage itself was comfortably furnished and the kitchen was well equipped with anything you might need! The owner was close by, a very nice person and easy to deal with.

Jeff and Joan were exceptional hoasts. The property is very quiet, clean and well furnished for all of our needs. The property served us well with access to the Ocala National forest trails for off roading. The hoasts also own several other properties with ample parking for your trailers or orv vehicles. The lake is beautiful as is the whole National forest. The orv trail options are plentiful ....Thank you Jeff and Joan for your friendly helpful service during our stay.

Wonderful

Jeff and Joan and family provided a warm and cozy winter for us. The cleanliness was a 10! Anything you may need for cooking and baking is provided. The kitchen aid stand mixer, blender, Henkels knife set and a charcoal grill was much appreciated. Top class rental!! Smiling, welcoming and helpful new friends were made - we truly enjoyed our stay. . It’s a bit far out from where we wanted to be, but the whole experience made up for it. Thank you, Jeff and Joan!
