Relaxing vacation home.

Our family had a nice relaxing vacation. Great fishing on the lake. Silver Springs State Park is close by, and we enjoyed the glass bottom boat. Hoping to make this an annual family vacation spot.

Birthday weekend

The lake view was perfect for a morning cup of coffee. At night, there was wooden logs that were great to start the fireplace for a great ending to the day. It was a wonderful stay.

Peace, quiet, tranquility, and beautiful views

The water view from the lake to the pool made it a relaxing weekend celebrating a 40 year career and retirement with friends. Being close to Silver Springs State Park made that for a great days adventure and then back to relax in the pool.

Great house for many possible vacations. We were there in February and did not use the pool or the lake. Both would be great in March or April. No problems all week. Great house!
