Lake House

Our stay at the Lake House was perfect! My siblings, Mom, and I met from all across the country to celebrate the life of two family members, and our host made sure our every need was accommodated. The house was as cute as can be, extra comfortable, and in the most gorgeous location. I was sad when our time in Lake City came to an end!

An amazing stay!

Our group had an amazing stay at the Lake House! The house is adorable, and had everything we needed and more. There is PLENTY to do in Lake City, and a lot is within walking distance. Our host, Patty, was super responsive, and answered all our questions quickly. No complaints whatsoever! If I could give more than 5-stars I would!

Cute, cozy home

We had a great stay here. Cozy home with everything you need. Weather wasn't in our favor to enjoy the outside much, but it's in a great location a block from the water and close to downtown area.
