GETAWAY FROM THE CRAZINESS: COME RELAX & ENJOY THE WATER / FISHING / SUN / FUN
Quiet comfortable getaway located on the best kept secret of North Florida, beautiful George's Lake...just 46 miles south of Downtown Jacksonville, 50 miles west of St Augustine, 35 miles east of Gainesville and only 74 miles northwest of Daytona Beach. This lovely 2 bedroom / 2 bath single family home allows you to enjoy the picturesque views of the lake; sunrise, sunset, wildlife and everything else nature can offer you. Bring your boat, jetski, kayak, canoe, or just your blow up float and soak up the lake life. Don't forget your poles and plenty of bait for our renowned fishing. Load your family up and getaway to George's Lake. Relax with all of the comforts of home, but none of the stress or worries.
"ABOUT GEORGE'S LAKE
Located in Between Two-State Forests
George's Lake is located in northern Putnam County, conveniently situated between two lush state forests: Belmore State Forest and Etoniah Creek State Forest.
Swimming, Fishing, Boating, and More
George's Lake is known for its clear water and sandy bottom.
Visitors and residents enjoy swimming, boating, and fishing all less than 50 miles from Jacksonville. Some of the more popular fish caught in George's Lake are largemouth bass, black crappie, bluegill, and catfish.
George’s Lake Public Boat Ramp is easily accessible for those who need to drop their boat in the lake.
Fun at the State Parks
Belmore State Forest is a great place to enjoy hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Hunting and fishing are both permitted during specific times of the year. Wildlife is abundant in Belmore, and visitors might see wild turkeys, white-tailed deer, hawks, and songbirds if they are lucky. There are even a few threatened species that call Belmore their home. The gopher tortoise, Sherman’s fox squirrel, Florida black bear, American alligator, and the eastern indigo snake can also be found on a lucky day.
Etoniah Creek State Forest is just as fun. The forest spans 8,879 acres of land, and this forest offers many of the same recreational opportunities as Belmore. Etoniah Creek has three hiking trails available.
George's Lake is just a short drive to the vibrant cities of Jacksonville, Gainesville, Ocala, St Augustine and Daytona Beach. There are museums, zoos, a planetarium, and more state parks to fill your schedule."

About the host

Why they chose this property
I was looking for the impossible, far enough out to be remote but close enough to get anything I need within 30 minutes, waterfront, boat, dock, fishing, freshwater, peace and quiet. When I saw it, I knew this was my home. It has been my primary residence until July 2019, when we scheduled our wedding and figured out TN would now be home. So many fun memories and experiences here made it impossible to sell, so instead I want to share it with others so they too can experience the wonders of George’s Lake!
