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!

Overall one of the better rentals I have stayed in - kitchen well stocked with glasses, plates and all required utensils. Three bathrooms is a plus and the beds were so comfortable. Outstanding yard and even a beach! Lake is nice to paddle around and I bet its a great swim in warmer weather. Pool, however, is not heated so it remained unused during our March visit and that was the one disappointment.

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.

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.

We loved this property! The home is inviting and large, with comfortable beds and all the amenities we needed for our visit. The pool is refreshing and was great fun for the kids. We enjoyed the kayaks- a first for 2 of the kids who were with us. I highly recommend this vacation home!

This property had it all for us! My husband did some fishing in the Kayak and caught quite a few. The pool and firepit are my favorites things to do. And the peace and quiet were exactly what we were looking for on Memorial Day weekend. We do alot of vacation rentals and this one is by far the best in Northern FL. We are from South FL and when we want to get away without leaving the state this will be our new go to. Thanks Barbara for sharing your house.

Very chill. Roku enabled TV's and great Wi-Fi meant happy teens. Screened in pool area with ample shade AND Sun was also fun and relaxing. We also explored the Silver Spring park and canoed. Very fun. :)

Arrived at 430 PM, 8 Oct 22 and after a tour of property found that it exceeded our expectations so we settled in. Invited Brother and Wife fron Jacksonville to spend Monday with us and we all left about 10 AM Tuesday. Absolutely no criticisms, we enjoyed every minute of our stay and may consider this property for a longer stay in the future if it is available. Loved the area, people are friendly.

Very relaxing. Kids enjoyed fishing and swimming. Made the 15 minute drive to salt springs state park, kids were amazed at how clear the water was and all the fish and crab you can see. The water is a little to cold for me. Maybe once the weather gets warmer it will be easier to tolerate. Although the water stays the same temperature year round. With young children our weekend getaways are usually go go go and when get get back I need a day off. But this trip was more like taking some time to unwind. I’d definitely do it again.

Pool deck was dirty and screened cage needed cleaning. Many light switches had tape over them. There were 4 pendants over island but only one had a bulb in it. Plus they were very dusty. Kitchen window was written on with magic marker “broken, do not use”. We were very disappointed with the state of the property. However, the homeowner was very nice on the phone and allowed us to get in early, however the reviews certainly did not reflect the condition of the home.
