Nice
It was very tight to bring in boat and trailer due to trees. Had to go to back of property to turn around. My boat trailer fell into a hole in backyard that broke trailer light, and tag off of boat. Cost me a evenjng of fishing, and 62.00 to fix light. That hole is dangerous.

Great house on the lake.
We loved the location of the house straight on the lake. It's very peaceful and you're in the middle of nature surrounded by birds, deer and much more wildlife in the direct neighborhood. Although we didn't get to fish, the lake looks like an amazing opportunity! The house is modern and comfortable and had more than enough space for the six of us.

Nice and quiet
No internet due to a broken cord, but the property manager was quick to try to find a fix. We stayed for my daughter's UF graduation weekend, so barely there anyway. Ample space for my family of 5. Comfy beds. Nice and quiet piece of property and an easy drive into Gainesville.

Nice place
We had a great stay at the house. The dock was nice and caught a few fish from it. The beds were the most comfortable we have experienced in any VRBO or motel
stay. The kitchen was nice and really enjoyed the countertop air fryer. One ding was the dining room window treatments. 2 times one of them fell on my wife's head while trying to lower it. They are in rough shape. Other than that, we would highly recommend the
house. Plenty of room for boat and vehicle parking. Quiet and peaceful.
