Our family had a wonderful Spring Break staying at your home! It had everything we needed and was spotless. Our children enjoyed kayaking off your dock and looking for snail shells. It was a great location to bike to restaurants and The Train Station for duck pin bowling! We also enjoyed a kayak tour which was about a 30 minute drive. Thank you for everything!

Amazing place in the cutest little town!

We loved our stay! The house was spacious and beautifully decorated. It was also clean and had all the amenities we needed. The kids loved playing on the dock and the family bike rides to downtown for ice cream just a mile away was one of our favorites. Thanks for letting your home be our home for the week!

Reunion with Sisters weekend

This home and its location are top notch! The home is beautifully remodelled and decorated, comfortable and well stocked with anything you could need for a wonderful vacation retreat! The backyard is inviting and beautifully scenic with a gorgeous view of the lake. Many activities are possible as the owners have provided kayaks, bikes, a fire pit, hammocks, the list goes on! I will definitely stay here again in the future!

We stayed 5 nights in this wonderful home. The house is beautiful with 3 bedrooms. The living room, dining room, and kitchen are open to one another. Great floor plan. The back yard is on the lake, has a fire pit, and a dock with kayaks. After staying here, I will book all future stays at this home.

Great place for a vacation!

The home was very comfortable for our family. We have 4 teens and they were never bored. They shared using the bikes on the Withlacoochie trail. Having kayaks was also a bonus. We were also only a short drive to Orlando and Tampa Bay area. The hosts were always available for questions. Great place to stay!

Wonderful Lake House

This was a very welcoming lake house. It was beautifully decorated, with all of our necessities in the house, as well as included kayaks and bikes for outdoor fun! The lake view is beautiful, and the kitchen has the best appliances and family friendly. The washer and dryer were a huge plus. We left our dog at home, but besides missing her, this is a great rental with attentive hosts. We felt very at home, and will visit again.

FANTASTIC GETAWAY

What a beautiful home! You can see the thought and care that went into finishing and decorating this home. One of the NICEST VRBO properties I’ve stayed at. The hosts were great and excellent with communication. I look forward to future stays there since it’s close to my family. LAKE ACCESS TOO! Gorgeous inside and out. Serene water views from the kitchen and living room, plus a screened in patio to enjoy the cool evenings by the lake.

Short get away

My friend's and I loved the atmosphere. The moment we opened the door we fell in love. The house truly felt like a home. Its was a simple lay out and very clean!!!! The home owners did a wonderful job at keeping in contact with us if we had any questions. They even gave us a few suggestions on where to eat and adventure. It's a nice quiet spot with a few gators, but that didn't stop us from having fun on the kayaks. The back porch is in the perfect spot for a morning sunrise. I would definitely come back to this house again!!! A solid 10/10

Don't Miss Out On All This Home Offers

Returning to the property after a long stressful day made each of us pause and unwind thanks to the meticulous attention to detail the owner has provided. These is no need to leave the property with so much at your fingertips. An issue after arrival was addressed promptly by owner. You will not want to leave the backyard so tell the others to meet you there. Coffee while watching the sunrise will be the first to-do each morning and the peaceful environment will welcome you morning, noon and night. Enjoy the lake, views, wildlife and all the amenities of this home away from from! Ready, Set, Relax!

6 Stars

Of the VRBOs I've stayed and given well deserved 5-star ratings, if it were possible, I'd give Christine and their Lakehouse Retreat 6 out of 6 stars.Place is gorgeous and well kept. What sets it apart are the details, the upgraded finishes, and above all, the little extra's they've included for your stay. I wont spoil the surprises, but we arrived and the people we traveled with went room to room with oohh's and aahh's!!Loved the place, next time I have a need to visit family in Inverness, will be looking to stay here. They had a quote on the wall, "come as friends, leave as family", which we certainly felt like.Thanks to Christine and her Husband for accommodating our group during our difficult visit (we were in town for a funeral).Please note while I gave 5 stars for location and neighborhood, because it met our needs for where we needed to be, for awareness to others the general area is not an upscale neighborhood, although this home is furnished to make it feel that way!!
