Lovely Stay

This home is beautifully organized & situated house located on a huge river. They left everything you could ask for, and even thoughtfully arranged the dog basket, too. Enjoyed the stay very much, appreciated the hospitality, and if there could be a cleaning to the outside chairs in order to use the fire pit, this would give this home a five star rating. Thank you for everything.

Relaxing Lake Stay

My mom and I enjoyed playing games on the deck and fishing down at the dock. The house was the perfect size, and the windows in the kitchen let so much natural light in. Well equipped kitchen as we made all of our meals there. Very accommodating for our fur baby too. Note: A gator got pretty close to the dock a few times, so make sure you keep your fur babies on a leash!

Relaxing week on the lake

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this lovely property. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay as we enjoyed daily bird watching and nightly star gazing. The high speed wi-fi was a plus that enabled us to easily get some work done during the week. The neighborhood is very peaceful with low traffic volume that made for nice walks with our dog. The hosts were great to communicate with and ver responsive to questions. Highly recommend this property if you are looking in this area.

Very cute and cozy house on the water. The dock at the house was great for tieing and storing our boat. Boat launch was very close to the house. Very friendly neighbors. The host's trip guide was very informative and helpful. We visited Bird's oyster shack in Tallahassee. Food and atmosphere were great. Host was welcoming and very responsive. House and ammenities were as advertised. Will stay again in the future. We had a great fishing getaway.

Great little cottage with a great deck overlooking the lake. Spent the week reading books enjoying the view with my Doodle at my feet. Easily hopped on my paddle board and went out to enjoy the lake. Kitchen is well appointed and coffee lover approved. Owners very responsive, although I had no issues. Just some silly questions... .

Beautiful & Cozy

This property is beautiful and cozy. It was the perfect size for our small family of 4 and 1 pup. The kids loved sharing a room while still having separate beds! The back deck over looks the lake and boy was it a beautiful sight! I loved that there is a pier for the family to fish and plenty of places on the property where I could sit and watch everyone enjoy themselves. The kids had so much fun and were not ready to leave. Not only was the property beautiful, but the host’s communication is worthy of more than 5 stars. They regularly provided important information, were quick to respond to my messages, and also had a virtual guest information book. This virtual book was very helpful with checking in and out, as well as basic information about how to use equipment on the property, and places to visit durning our stay. 10 out of 10, I recommend staying here. We will definitely be returning!
