This house can be rented as a 4/3 or a 3/2 because of the in-law suite ...see our other listing to rent it as a 3/2. Only renting the 4/3 house guarantees you will have the whole property to yourself.

Bring the whole family to this amazingly restored Florida lake home with lots of room for fun. Swim in the lake, catch some fish, build a sandcastle, make s'mores, nap in the sunroom, play fetch with your dog in the fenced yard, and so much more. Only an hour away from the beaches and the many springs of North Florida. The 1940's "Camp Blanding" house has had a complete makeover giving it the feel of an "Old Florida" lake house with all the comforts of modern living.

A great getaway !
We had an amazing time at the property from beginning to end. The home is blessed with a large yard and also a lot of lake frontage for all of your activities. The green house is fully stocked with floats, fishing poles, and life jackets, and yard games for your enjoyment. My 3 year old loved building sand castles down at the sandy beach while we floated in the water and our lab puppy swam around. We felt right at home, whether we were watching a movie in the living room, or hanging out in the Florida room while our children played with toys that were provided and our puppy played in the spacious yard. Be sure to wake up early to be on the water so that you catch the gorgeous sunrise. My only regret is that we did not book a longer stay!

Quiet & Serene
This was a great place for my family of four and in-laws to stay on our trip to Florida. The house was quaint and well laid out for our group. The house was on a beautiful lake and had a well maintained beach and all the amenities that we needed. Would highly recommend!

Like being at Grandma's house
I loved this home and the location. A lot of the items in the home are original and coupled with antique furniture gave me the feeling of spending the week at my grandma's house when iv was a kid. Fun place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Aimee Olmsted

Host profile image
We are a husband and wife team that have been in the long term rental business for almost 30 years. Our specialty is finding the properties that no one else wants ("extreme fixer uppers"), seeing the potential behind the disaster, and turning them back into a home. We love our jobs and are very hands on, doing most of the work ourselves.
After finishing the remodel of this spectacular lake house, we decided the property was too special not share with others, which is why we are opening it up to the short term rental market.
The house was originally a "Camp Blanding" structure brought over to this site in 1949 to be a family vacation lake house and had an addition built onto it in the 70's. It had been owned by the same family, passed down through the generations, until we purchased it in 2021. Although it has had a complete remodel, we tried to save as many of the original features as possible (original hardwood floors, door knobs, to name a few). This house will most definitely give you an old Florida feel while still experiencing all the comforts of modern living.

Why they chose this property

Our lake house is the perfect family vacation spot. Our nephew (age 10) summed it up nicely... "Why do we need to go anywhere...all the fun is right here at the house."

You have private access to a piece of Lake Geneva, fishing poles are provided, lake toys and floats are there as well for beach and swimming time. There is fire pit for s'more making, a bench swing for relaxing, canoe for exploring the lake, sunroom for pleasant conversations or much needed naps, plenty of board games for the rainy days, a Wii, and Netflix for movie watching. There is a huge, fully-outfitted kitchen (we've tried to think of everything) for making that famous family favorite, or a grill on the back porch located right off the kitchen for easier meal preparation and a table for outside dining. Also, there is plenty of bird life for those avian enthusiasts!

But if you feel the need to explore past the property, we are located about an hour from the beaches or the many natural springs North Florida, making a day trip very manageable (we do it all the time ourselves).

Very quiet neighborhood. The house is located at the end of a cul-de-sac directly on Lake Geneva. About 30 minutes to Gainesville, Starke, Middleburg, or Palatka. Lots of amenities within 5-10 minutes including multiple restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies, liquor stores, gas stations, fast food chains, etc...

What makes this property unique

The Lake! It is usable in everyway; swimming, boating, fishing, bird/wildlife watching. etc.

The Large Kitchen! Create your family favorites with this fully stocked kitchen (I have tried to think of everything you might need)

The Firepit! We stock it with firewood for you to enjoy a relaxing fire for s'more making, story telling, or just some quiet reflect time.

The Sunroom! A favorite spot of past guests for napping, board games, family meals, or conversations.
