About the host
Hosted by Dawn Croft
Hi, My name is Dawn. My family and I have enjoyed Crystal Lake for well over twenty years. It is a place we come to for family fun and relaxation. It is good to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, even if for a short time. One of our favorite family activities besides, skiing, swimming, and fishing, is our annual Low Country Boil every July 4th. It consist of boiled shrimp, snow crab legs, sausage, potatoes, onions, and corn on the cob. Dessert always involves home-made ice cream. We have made priceless memories, enjoyed countless breath-taking sunsets, and built life lasting bonds. It is a joy to be able to share a part of this with you.
Why they chose this property
Crystal Lake is one of the most beautiful, clear, spring fed lakes in the area, and is a popular vacation spot. The house is nestle among large oak trees on a slopping hill. It is conveniently located 25 miles from Gainesville, Florida, for the sports fans who enjoy college sports.
