Relaxing place

I stayed here with my adult children. The home was very nice. We all loved the screened in porch. Lots of things to do in the area. Our favorite was kayaking down Silver River. We went on a few other hikes in the area and played frisbee golf

Great vacation spot

This was a great getaway for us. The description of the property was spot on. We used all the amenities the home had to offer daily (with the exception of the fire pit, it was just too hot out). The proximity of stores and attractions was fantastic. The atmosphere of the home is exactly what we expected and would definitely recommend this place .

Peaceful lakeside home

My husband I checked in and we had a couple issues in the beginning. Owner was quick to respond, which was nice. The beds were extremely comfortable and the softest sheets and cabin is as cute as can be. I would recommend this property.

Tranquillity

The Lake house was just as expected and more. Perfect for unwinding, yet plenty of opportunities to be active. We really appreciated the kayaks being on premise. There were canoes and even a paddle boat. Be sure to bring water shoes since entering the lake was muddy. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed, including coffee maker and blender. Ocala was close enough for some great restaurant options. Winn Dixie was less than a mile, which was very convenient. We will be back next year!

It was perfect!

I took my husband away for his birthday weekend and my goal was to have 4 days of adventure and fun! We went ziplining, four-wheeling and went on the glass bottom boat. The house and entire property was the perfect place to start our mornings in a calm and serene atmosphere and end our adventures the same exact way! That porch overlooking the lake is magnificent and the inside is a total cabin feel. We loved everything about it! I do suggest planning ahead of time what you want to do in silver springs because things are pretty far from each other but the trees and lakes make each drive totally worth it! We will be coming back with our kids and dog soon!!!

Even Better Than the Listing

The house and property are fantastic! It is well kept and clean. We particularly enjoyed the screen room, and the dock and boats. We took day trips to NASA, St. Augustine, Silver Springs, and the Rainbow River. The kitchen could use upgraded pots and pans, dishes, and food storage containers. It would be nice if the bathrooms had blow dryers and hand towel racks. I never know what to expect at a rental house; for this house I needed to buy facial tissue, food storage bags, beach towels, laundry detergent, and dryer sheets. I would rent this house again and highly recommend it!

Fabulous Lake Cabin

This place and Lorgia are the best. We booked last minute to wait out our plumbing coming back on in SWFL. I read the reviews before booking and liked the way Lorgia replied to reviews. I can tell you anything she said she would look at in response to reviews was done! The yard was so nice for our dogs. Plenty of shade so our pups loved it. Everything worked well and plenty of supplies for any typical needs. The lake was pretty to look at from the screened in porch. Lorgia was very flexible and the communication was great given our situation. I’m grateful for her hospitality and plan on coming back several times a year.

Charming cabin

We loved our stay. The cabin is very spacious and so nicely decorated! Truly one of the best cabins we've ever stayed at! We were able to use the canoe and the kayaks with ease. We visited Silver Springs State park (about 15 mins away) and Zip Canyon in Ocala (about 30 mins away).The cabin is located next to a lake, which makes it very special. To enhance this natural beauty, we would recommend cleaning up the entrance to the lake and adding a layer of sand. This small addition would create a welcoming touch, elevating the overall experience (just a suggestion). We'll for sure be back! Our kids also loved it.

Relaxing time

The place is beautiful and very clean. The view across the lake was amazing and very relaxing sitting on the porch. However, there were a few things I would have liked different during our four night stay. We only had 1 dishcloth and 1 dish towel. Also my husband and I only had 3 towels and 3 wash clothes ((The same for our two friends who stayed upstairs.) and there were no extra blanket for on the bed. It was 39 degrees one night. I would stay agai but I would take some towels and a blanket.

Lake Cabin

This is our 2nd time staying here and loved it! The property is gorgeous and it's nice having the canoes and kayaks to use. The only downside was our poor dog ate a shrimp with a hook on it and it got lodged in his esophagus. We had to take him to UF Emergency Vet Hospital. He stayed 3 days, but is doing well now. We would definitely stay again!

Delightful

I love this beautiful cabin. It feels like you are in the middle of the woods. The scenery with the lake is great. The location is ideal if you enjoy tithe tropical feel of central Florida. We spent a lot of time exploring the area particularly the OcalaForest. We loved kayaking the many natural springs, bird watching and hiking. My only request is for the kayaks at the house be more accessible. We did not go out on the lake because we co8ldnt move the kayaks easily

Beautiful place to share with the family, it met all expectations and more than we expected. Beautiful decoration of the cabin, clean, enough kitchen utensils, as well as in the bathroom.
