Incredibly peaceful, beautiful, exactly what we needed.
Stayed here for our eldest daughter’s UF graduation. Perfect place to stay for all of us & our fur babies. The views are incredible! I cannot brag on this place more. Everything we could have ever wanted or needed. Spices to cook with, pots & pans, cookware, towels, soaps, lotions, shampoo, body wash, canoe, kyaks, fishing gear, coolers, washer & dryer, fenced in front yard, detergent, dish soap, trash bags, tp… they thought if every little detail and then some! Audi is strong, tons of tv channels, so much to do! We cannot wait to return.

Great for our family
We were visiting with family so this spot worked well for us. Close enough so some stores if needed but also very secluded. Property was clean and simple. It was an easy stay with young kids. My husband and oldest even caught some fish in the lake. Would definitely book again for a future family reunion!

Great getaway
We stayed for the 4th of July holiday weekend and got to watch the neighbors fireworks show. It was great. The neighbors and host are all friendly and helpful. The house was even better than the picture. Clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook all our meals. All we had to do was bring food. The kids and adults LOVED the lake. We couldn’t get the kids out of it from daylight to dark. The boats and floats that are there made it that much more awesome. Great getaway for families looking for fun or couples looking to relax.
