"Short distance from Gainesville. Check-in was fast, although I checked in after midnight. Guestroom had plenty of space and towels. TV only had audio signal for a few stations, including ESPN. No video. Breakfast was good. Quality of food was good, and the breakfast attendant worked hard to keep the food servers full and the area clean."
"Mary was an excellent host. The cabin was exactly as advertised. It was very clean and spacious. The amenities at the resort were so much fun. It was a very quaint and quiet community. I would definitely recommend."
Wow!!! Spectacular Lakefront Cabin with Hot Tub and Kayaks!!
8/10 Good
"We enjoyed our stay at this cabin. The property is beautiful, with oak trees draped in Spanish moss, a constant view of the lake, and plenty of wildlife to watch. The beds and couches were comfortable, and the amenities were great. We also brought fishing poles, which gave us another activity to enjoy during our stay.For future guests, I recommend stocking up at Aldi in Ocala before arriving, including any spices you’ll need for cooking. Salt Springs Grocery had limited options and no butcher counter, and based on our visit, I wouldn’t recommend relying on it for refrigerated groceries. Bring bug spray and citronella candles—the mosquitoes were bad during our stay. Ace Hardware carries citronella candles if you need them locally. I’d also recommend bringing a bag of ice, as the ice in the freezer had a noticeable fishy smell.Access to the cabin transitions from pavement to a dirt road. It rained for much of our stay, and a few sections were questionable. If your vehicle has a dirt or snow setting, it may come in handy.There were a couple of housekeeping details that could use improvement. The cabin was mostly clean, but there were noticeable cobwebs throughout. We also felt the requirement to take trash to the dump was impractical, even for “one small bag,” especially since the dump was closed on our Tuesday checkout day. Trash removal would be better handled by the cleaning service.Overall, the beautiful ,lake views, wildlife, and comfortable furnishings are great"
"Nice cozy cottage. Very reasonable cost. The bathroom is very hot as there's no air conditioner. Kind of like a sauna in July but it was great being in the forest and walking the paths. This is the 4th time we've stayed and the only time we found the home in need of some cleaning. Overall, it's a nice place to stay."
