The dock and its party deck nicely complement this unique experience. Fishing, paddle boarding, canoeing, and simply floating off the dock are a few activities to consider. We offer 2 paddle boards and 2 canoes. A dock ladder also comes in handy to help you get in and out of the water as you wish. The dock is always in deep water, making this house a lakefront home at all times and in all seasons. Easy walk to the dock! Bring your boat or rent one from the Gainesville Marina just a minute away across the water. Besides, the Marina's Skogies Lakefront Restaurant has never been closer to you. And for a little change of scenery and ambiance, take a quick boat ride to Port Royale Marina's Pelican Pete's Tiki Bar & Grill and arrive in style for lunch or dinner. But this lake house isn't just about the water. There is also plenty to do at the house, games, dartboard, sports bar, and grilling, etc. Savor your morning coffee on the deck or the lower screened porch while enjoying the golden sunrise. Retire from the water in the evening to bask in the glow of a nice fire around the fire pit. This is not just a lake house rental. It is the complete lake experience where warm family memories are made and become indelible. We bet that you become a repeat customer because of the experience we sell. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Paddleboard - Canoeing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property;

There was plenty of room to spread out between each of the 3 levels and outside on the deck and dock. ##### Lori R.

The dock is a double decker and it is nice to sit and have coffee in the morning or to watch the stars at night. The whole house is perfect! The only thing we didn’t like but it was doable was the steep driveway. My husband always drove which means he got it figured out. Definitely a slow entry and exit. Hope to come back and visit soon!!!

It had everything we needed. Walk to the dock was not too steep. The only thing I would note is that if you come with a boat, be prepared for constant wakes at the dock. This is on the main channel and at times it is pretty rough. Other than that, it was great house. We enjoyed sitting on the back deck. ##### Terry B.

Family friendly and charming but not fancy....was laid out so conveniently for 3 families...3 floors. We enjoyed having our boat at the dock. The driveway is steep. Wonderful experience .
