Really great location and convenient to Silver Springs State Park and Ocala, FL. The house has a spectacular view of a freshwater lake and there is a lot of wildlife nearby and in the vicinity including lots of birds! Family of four stayed here comfortably, cooked a few meals, fished a little, and enjoyed the dock and breakfast on the deck in the morning. The house was comfortable and enjoyable for 4-5 people and made our trip to Ocala complete.

We loved the beautiful landscaping and sitting on the deck watching the wildlife. The location is very convenient to several springs, hiking and the grocery store. The host is quick to respond to questions and he answered my phone call immediately when I thought I was lost. Being able to bring our two little dogs was a huge plus. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful Lake House Stay

We had a wonderful time at this property. Jake was very accommodating and quick to respond to any questions i had. We loved the kayaks available to use and the property was private and secluded.
