Exceptional cabin on a lake in the Ocala Forest! Plenty of space, amazing screened-in porch, canoes and kayaks with launching space, life jackets, paddles, fishing poles, and other supplies provided. Our family enjoyed s’mores by the fire put every night and kayaking/canoeing during the day on the lake…perfect family get-away and great location for visiting nearby springs. Cabin was well-decorated and so cozy! Host was amazing with communication. We would definitely book again!

This place was amazing! The location was so quiet except for the sounds of nature - the dock was a great place to enjoy morning coffee. The cabin was welcoming and the kitchen was stocked very well. Comfortable beds & hot showers! The host, Teddy, was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. We did not have any issues during our stay but if we would have, I am confident it would have been taken care of efficiently. (The cane pole hanging in the garage brought back memories :-)

Our host, Teddy, was very responsive and friendly.The pictures of the house were right on. Everything we needed was in the house. Loved the fireplace!The Sandhill Cranes were a special treat.It was a perfect place for 4 “older” cousins to get together. Silver Springs was only 15 minutes away, and there’s a grocery store 5 minutes away.Thank you, Teddy!

A wonderful place to stay!

We had an amazing stay at the Lake House. If you’re looking for a quiet place to get away and relax this is it! The house is clean and inviting. It is in a great location, right in the middle of some awesome state parks and attractions. Although, the view from the screened in porch is so great you may never want to leave it!
