We enjoyed our stay at the lake house for a soccer tournament weekend. It was fun to be right on the water and the boys enjoyed fishing off the dock on our down time.

We loved our stay here! The home was very comfortable and easy for my Mom (90) to get everywhere she wanted to be. We enjoyed morning coffee, evening cocktails and even caught a few fish from the shady, comfortable dock.The wildlife was cool too....we saw all kinds of critters. There were 2 cranes that loved to look at themselves in the sliding glass door. So funny and entertaining.

Lake House with Amazing Dock and a Terrific House for our baseball tournament travels!
This was the perfect spot to stay for our baseball tournament weekend with our three boys. We cannot even explain how much we loved the dock and lake! The boys jumped and swam for hours, fished, and the nicest spot for dinner and hanging out in the shade of the boathouse with a breeze! The house was exactly as shown - clean, comfortable (seriously the best beds!), a well equipped kitchen made for easy cooking and the use of the BBQ on the screened porch was wonderful. The owners were so easy to communicate with and responsive when we had any questions before, during and after our stay. My family didn’t want to leave. The neighborhood was quiet and easy to get to town for groceries. Directions and check in were a breeze. Whether just for vacation, or for sports tournament stays, I would definitely recommend. We are looking forward to our next stay!

convenient location
we were happy to have a house to go back to after long days on the field hockey field for a tournament. The owner was very accommodating to allow us to have an extended check out to come back and shower after we were on the field in the pouring down rain to take showers before our flight. The house was clean. I had a great view of the lake and bonus, we had cranes that visited every morning to say hello.nice stay!

Perfect Lake House Getaway
This was the most amazing stay. Blown away by this little home and lake. The owner was always within reach and did his best to help us with any question we had. We couldn’t have booked a better place honestly. The fishing off the dock was so much fun, the family each caught something and they were huge! Turtles were cute. House was clean and provided everything we could need. Will most definitely be back!

Great move in weekend!
My family and I came to the area from South Florida to move my little brother into UCF. This location was awesome for just that! It was 28 minutes to campus but far enough away from the busy traffic! The lake is PHENOMENAL! There were so many beautiful bass, sunfish, turtles and we saw a bald eagle! Definitely coming back to this property when we come to visit! The property manager was great too! Quick to respond and super helpful!
