We had a great stay in Inverness. Our plan to ride the bike trail worked out and we were tired, yet so pleased by the experience and accommodations. Kitchen, bedroom, living room all met our expectations. Birds on the lake were a bonus!!

Sanctuary!
Wow! Loved staying here! The location is amazing! Incredible views of wildlife on the lake! My favorite aspect is the privacy, yet easily accessible from either Inverness or Floral City. The apartment is very comfortable and the hosts are very accommodating. Everything had been freshly cleaned before arrival. The bedroom and private bath were well supplied with linens and essentials. The living room and kitchen area had a television and fireplace. Mornings on the sunporch offered spectacular sunrises through ancient Live Oaks that overlooked the lake. Definitely planning to return here next time in the area.

Repeat stay - will stay here again!
Once again, we had a delightful stay at Leaning Oaks in Inverness. The accommodations are private and comfortable. The landscape is nothing short of gorgeous when the Azaleas are in bloom! We love the grandfather Live Oak trees bearded with Spanish Moss and adorned with Resurrection Ferns. Sunrises and sunsets are spectacular and the constantly changing wildlife around the lake engages our attention from pre-dawn to full dark. For reflection, renewal and revival of the soul, this place knows no equal. The hospitality remains gracious and welcoming. Next time we return to Central Florida, this is where we will stay. Again!
