where relaxation and adventure meet. This spacious home comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests
with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a cozy loft with an additional bed. Nestled beneath
grand North Florida live oaks, the property exudes Southern charm and offers stunning lake
views from nearly every room. Designed with family togetherness in mind, the home features multiple inviting gathering spaces.

Outdoor living is just as spectacular. Step directly into the water from the lakefront steps or take
advantage of the private boat dock with swim ladders—ideal for swimming or docking your
boat. The two-story dock offers a sun-drenched upper deck for tanning and a shaded lounge area for relaxing. Expansive decks wrap around the home, perfect for entertaining, grilling, or simply enjoying the view.

boating, jet skiing, paddleboarding, or casting a line. And when you're ready to explore beyond

Absolutely most relaxing stay with our family in this Lakefront home. The host was responsive to questions before and during our stay. The view is stunning. The home is very inviting, comfortable and just adorable. We will hopefully be able to return later this year.

The home is lovely and met all of our expectations. The view is magnificent and entertaining. We enjoyed watching the coots, squirrels, turtles, an otter, and even an alligator. It was peaceful! My husband enjoyed celebrating his 70th birthday. Thank you for sharing your home.
