Cozy Cabin by the Lake - Salt Springs Resort
Pristine, upscale 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage on Little Lake Kerr. Are you weary and just need some peace and quiet or are you just dying to burn some energy? Or, do you still need to work remotely but want to change up the scenery? Then this is the place for you! Our cozy cottage is located in the heart of the Ocala National Forrest within a gated resort community. Come relax and enjoy serenity in this very special place that's loaded with old oak trees, Spanish moss and lots of wildlife. Our cottage has two really comfortable beds, a pretty décor, cable TV and strong Wi-fi! The eat-in kitchen is equipped for cooking and has plenty of seating. Like to read, have a glass of wine and watch the sunset? Perfect as we have a screened porch for you. Like cooking on the grill? Perfect - we've got a grill and picnic table for you. The Sandy shoreline is great for swimming, fishing or just hanging out on a pool float. If you've got a boat, bring it - boat launch available! We even have a pool table and and ping-pong inside the lodge across the street. If you've never been to the Ocala National Forrest, you have to come! This area is fantastic for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts as there are tons of trails and natural springs! Activities include hiking, motorbiking/four-wheeling, boating, kayaking, biking and an outdoor gun range.

Lakes, springs and forests - all of the outdoors boxes are ticked and the location within the Salt Springs Resort is an easy stroll to Little Lake Kerr. We traveled with two young children and everyone had a great time. We'll be back!
