Beautiful Newly Remodeled Home on River with Dock!

This beautiful, newly remodeled and decorated home is nestled under Spanish moss draped cypress trees with big, gorgeous views of the St. Johns and the Ocala National Forest. It is the perfect getaway to Old Florida with none of the crowds, overdevelopment and traffic. Whether you are a casual or serious fisherman, a hiker, a hunter, a reader or a boater this home and location will appeal to you. This very comfortable home, yard and dock gives a feeling of freedom and serenity that is hard to match and a peacefulness that helps you go back to a simpler, less complicated world. There are great views of the river whether you are in the nicely appointed kitchen, at the dining room table, sitting in one of our new leather reclining sofas or chair, sitting in the large screen room, out in the well-maintained St. Augustine yard or sipping your favorite beverage with a line or two in the water. Located 90 minutes from the Orlando area, 60 minutes from Jacksonville, St. Augustine or Daytona, this area, known as the “Bass Fishing Capital of the World, has a lot going on including not only bass but many salt water species as well, hiking in the nearby Welaka State Forest or Dunn's Creek State Park, bird and alligator watch on the nearby famous Oklawaha River, boating to Silver Glenn Springs or Salt Springs, ferry over to Ocala National Forest, numerous restaurants and bars nearby such as Renegades Tiki Bar and Restaurant, River Pub, Shrimps R Us, marinas, bait, boat rentals and even the 18 hole Live Oak Golf Course.

Clean, Cozy, and Beautiful sunsets!
I usually don’t leave reviews but this home was a wonderful stay. The pictures don’t do it justice. The place is cozy, clean, and spacious. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need from an instant pot to skewers for roasting marshmallows. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen. It had all the spices we need and even simple options like parchment paper, foil, and zip lock bags that I’ve noticed other VRBO stays don’t have. The owners also are thoughtful to keep all basic condiments in the fridge making it also much easier to grocery shop for the food we needed. The patio is meshed in and very cool in the evenings. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset and lit up the fire pit with firewood available to buy close by. There are two marinas very close to the property to rent a pontoon for the day and using the dock was super convenient. We didn’t get a chance to use the kayaks but seem like a fun idea. The bedrooms were spacious. A king bed and a room with two twin beds. Also there is a Murphy bed in the living room. The bathrooms are clean and updated. Showers were nice and hot with awesome pressure. There’s grocery and gas available close by and there’s a fun bar at Renegades close by to listen to music and drink. Overall I would say this home was beyond our expectations. It felt like a home but also very updated and clean making it feel like a 5 star hotel! This was our first time at Lake George and this won’t be our last. We hope to come back to this same home on our next trip!

10 stars!
This place is fabulous. We have been coming to Florida for 40+ years, and recently have dreaded visits because of traffic/people/congestion. I hope no one else finds this oasis in the sunshine state. House is awesome, clean, comfortable, well stocked, and did I mention private dock and riverfront? Unfortunately it's just a matter of time before this place gets gobbled up and Disney-fied, enjoy it while you can!! Thanks for the wonderful vacation!!

Location, Location, Location - PERFECT - Old Florida Vibe
Justin’s place is AMAZING - EXACTLY what we were looking for - Old Florida & on a lake - the back patio was our favorite spot first thing in the morning & at sunset - the cypress trees in the back yard w/ the moss hanging down, the sounds of the owls/Eagle, & looking out over the lake were pure bliss. We were lucky enough to hear some great live music from Renegades, down the road, one night while sitting on the patio. The inside of the house is lovely. The recliner/couch was great for our movie night. The one bedroom we used we found the bed to be super comfy. The house had everything we needed. Neat little neighborhood. Justin is a GREAT host/responsive.

Fishing Adventure with Friends
This is our 2nd stay at this beautiful home. The location is ideal for a quick run to Lake George, yet plenty of time on the St. Johns River too. The sunset views from this home are spectacular. The owners have done a fantastic job of making sure you have anything available that you could possibly need and they definitely have an eye for decorating a home from wall hangings to furniture. It felt more like a "home" than a rental.

Perfect Lake House Getaway
Karen’s property is a beautiful home with the most gorgeous sunset views. The dock is huge and perfect for fishing and watching wildlife. The kitchen is 5 stars and has everything you need. The only thing we couldn’t find was a blender so I’d bring one if you need it!

Doesn’t get any better
If you are looking for a rental in the Lake George/ St Johns River area, this house is perfect. My husband and I have rented many VRBO’s, and we both agree this was the best. The house is clean, newly remodeled, very comfortable beds and the living room has reclining sofas that are perfect for weekend football games. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked and the screened in porch has nice furniture and is a perfect spot to read a book. We rented a boat and tied it to the dock so we could fish and enjoy the lake. It is a great spot with an abundance of wildlife. Although we didn’t catch a record bass, we did catch plenty of other fish. This is a neat area, yes it is a bit rural, but if your looking to get away from the strip malls of Florida and see what it’s really like in the sunshine state this is your spot. Karen is a great host and we appreciate the opportunity to make memories here.

Peaceful Getaway
Our first VRBO experience! This is a lovely home in a great location. Home is clean and spotless, everything you could need is there. Not terribly far from a grocery store, and a dollar store very close by for any essentials you may have forgotten to pack. Perfect location on the river. Great dock, lots of wildlife, near restaurants. Wonderful experience, we are ready to go again!

Perfectly relaxing with gorgeous views
My husband and I decided to take a last-minute long weekend away. We were lucky enough to find this gem of a rental. It exceeded our expectations and provided the restful weekend we were hoping for. We ate at the River Pub and Shrimp R Us, both just five minutes away. They did not disappoint. We canoed down Juniper Springs one day and we hired a guide to take us bass fishing on the St. John's River one day. Captain Don Weaver knows where the fish are and has been a guide in this area for over 20 years. We we're even lucky enough to catch a bass from the dock just outside the house. But our most favorite part of the weekend was coffee on the porch and sunsets on the dock. If you are looking for a relaxing getaway then don't hesitate to spend it at this river house. You'll be glad you did.

Beautiful, well appointed, excellent location.
This property is well located on the St. John's River for a fishing vacation. I think the community is safe, quiet with a private boat launch. The house is perfect for two couples or in my case two best fishing buddies. The house is beautiful inside, has a open feel with views of the river. We especially enjoyed the screened porch. With a tv in each bedroom, one in the den and great tile showers, we had all we wanted for our vacation in this house.

The perfect get away!
This was the perfect place for a relaxing week on the Saint Johns river. The house has been completely remodeled with all new appliances and updated bathrooms. The well stocked kitchen, family room, and screened porch all face the breathtaking view of the river. A perfect vacation home for fishing or just chilling out with a book. Plenty of local birds visit the river and the yard. One morning an American eagle landed in the Spanish moss draped tree right in the yard. Beautiful! We tried several of the recomendations Karen suggested and were pleased with them. We really enjoyed Shirimp Are Us for both breakfast and lunch. We went on an excellent eco-tour of the river called St Johns River Tour, about a 40 minute drive, but well worth the trip. Thank you Karen for sharing your lovely home with us! We wish we could have stayed longer and hope to return soon.

Beautiful home and perfect location to relax!
From the moment we walked in we were taken with how immaculately clean everything is. Rarely have we seen a kitchen as well stocked with high quality appliances and gadgets. The sunsets from the dock are every bit as beautiful as the photos. Then the skies are star filled and the full moon was breathtaking. Relaxation was the only goal for our week and this was perfect! Karen was so responsive and helpful answering any questions we had immediately! We are already thinking about going back!

Excellent getaway for my wife and I
We are new boat owners and we wanted to try this lake and the springs out. We stayed at Karen’s house on the river and had such a wonderful time there. The house was beautiful, had everything we needed, and was perfect for our little getaway. If you are wanting to stay on the river then this is the place. Very cozy and comfortable. The dock was amazing also for fishing and great views of the river. We will definitely come back again soon.

Absolutely as described. House was well appointed with all things comfortable. You walked in feeling at home the moment you entered. Sunsets were gorgeous! If you want great seafood Corky Bells in Palatka is great. We went twice. Renegades has delicious shrimp and grits. This was a perfect weekend! Will definitely return. Karen was a dream to work with and kept in touch even on her honeymoon. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful home.
