We enjoyed our stay at the Lake House on Lake Kerr. The house was very clean and no issues at all. Very nice dock. The only issue is the steps off of the screen porch. Just a little steep for people with mobility issues. Beautiful backyard with plenty of shade to just enjoy the lake.We will be back for sure.

Lake house

Loved having the lake access...grandkids loved the onsite kayaks, playing non-stop in the water and fishing from the dock. House was clean with lots of common area. Great sideboard in kitchen for buffet meal service as family cooking is part of our family vacation protocol ; )

Winter Fishing Trip

We have for many years gone fishing on the St John’s River, and this year decided to tryout Lake Kerr. The lake was wonderful and the house was amazing! All the amenities that anyone could possibly want. We all loved the dock being on the water, walking out of the house and stepping into our boats.Jennifer was a great host, and very responsive to any questions. We will definitely go back again!

Fisherman’s Dream

Lake Kerr is just beautiful and my husband was in heaven fishing all day, every day. House was comfortable but needs more attention in the cleaning department. Loved the neighbors, Odd Todd’s tacos and the Square Meal restaurant. Just keep in mind, it’s rural and bear, bobcat and alligator friendly.

Cozy & Quite

This property is in a very quiet neighborhood with access to everything outdoors. The lake is beautiful so bring the water toys! The house itself was neat & clean with plenty of space for a large group. The bed in the master bedroom needs replacing and maybe some lamps for living room & bedrooms for softer lighting. Jennifer is a pleasure to work with and very quick to respond. We would definitely stay again.

Peaceful Lakehouse

We recently stayed at this lakehouse and had a lovely time. The open living room and kitchen space was comfortable for our family, and we also enjoyed hanging out on the lanai sectional and outdoor swing. The lake view is beautiful and serene as we hoped for. We will cherish the memories of our time there including campfires in the fire pit, family game nights with the many board games, kayaking on the lake, and just spending time together. The surrounding area is full of scenic springs and Silver Springs, in particular, is a must see. The owner was very responsive and super helpful when we had a little snafu with the electricity early in our stay. Overall this was a lovely property for our Thanksgiving week getaway.

Peace and tranquillity

The photos in the listing just don’t do the property justice. The house is clean and well appointed with all the comforts of home. Communication with the owner was great. The lakefront backyard is a dream. No sound except the birds and water lapping against the dock. My husband and I, his hunting buddy and our golden retriever are all pining for a return to this lakefront paradise.

Relaxed and rejuvenated

Our family really enjoyed this lake house experience. The home is very clean, has a inviting decor, well stocked with supplies, beds very comfortable, and a very large screened porch. The outside is where we spent most of our time. Kids kayaked, fished, kept the fire pit fed, and enjoyed the swing. The kids never fought one time!! The lake is incredible. Boating, fishing, and just site seeing every day. The manager was very easy to communicate with and very welcoming. Highly recommend this home and experience to anyone looking for a vacation away from the ordinary vaca hustle!!

Quiet, beautiful, convenient

Nice home for a family vacation right on the lake, with free kayaks to use right off the private deck, and BBQ dinner, and bun fire in a large yard in the evening. The house is 15-30 minutes drive from the most prestigious warm springs in the states where you can swim next to manatees! Would love to be back again!
