With lake on three sides you get both sunrise and sunset over the water. A private boat ramp, over-water dock with patio table, covered boat slip, kayaks, canoe, paddle boat, jon boat, tubes, water skis, knee board and wakeboard are all here for you to enjoy for free. Bring your own boat or watercraft if you like or rent our on-site hybrid deck boat.

It is one of the prettiest properties on the lake. It is set on a peninsula so we got to watch beautiful sunrises and sunsets. This house exceeded our expectations.

The owners were very considerate and accommodating. The property is amazing, the pictures don’t do it justice. The views of the lake are fantastic. We spent a lot of time on the dock fishing and just looking at the wildlife. The game room was great for entertaining my family when it happened to rain. The house is very comfortable and there was no shortage of space for everyone. ##### Stephen C.

Patty and Mark made sure that the entire house was clean, comfortable, accessible, and accommodating. The kayaks were a lot of fun, bathrooms were clean and had plenty of clean towels, and the kitchen was well stocked and labeled (which made it incredibly easy to find the different pots/pans and cooking utensils). The sun room and fenced in area out back were perfect for our two dogs to enjoy as well. We’d love to stay there again in the future. Thank you again, Patty and Mark! ##### Emily P.

Plenty of rooms for all - large kitchen, beautiful views throughout the house. Lots of water craft available - we want to go back when the weather permits their use.

We loved the cypress trees and fenced in yard. The dock was brand new and easy to dock two extra boats. Nice shade. Inside the house was clean although the outside looked like it could use a pressure wash and there were wasps flying around the front door. Lots of space to park truck and trailer and fun water toys. We had enjoyed playing pool and darts in the evening. We didn't love the noisy airboat traffic, but otherwise it was peaceful. Definitely beautiful and fun! ##### Lee P.

This was a perfect spot for that. Groceries were just down the road. We especially loved the fenced in yard for our pre-approved granddoggie. We enjoyed watching the air boats, weed eaters, and rowers go by. The labeled cabinets were a bonus, as were the spices, sugar, and half-n-half. We used their kayaks, and enjoyed Lake Henderson. The best part was seeing family, the second best part was having a place big enough for all of us and welcoming to Cheerio! The rest was gravy! We would stay here again in a heartbeat! ##### Wendy Y.

I went for my 55th bday celebration with 15 friends from ages 25 to 58\. I want to tell you that this home put a spell on every one of us! It's retro vibe made us giggle with "classic" portraits and furnishings but there is something special within these walls that spreads across the grounds to the water. We didnt even go out to dinner after our paddleboard excursion at Rainbow Springs (great drive through cute towns there). This was the most peaceful, heart warming home any of us have encountered. All 16 want to come back and are booking their families too, as you dont need to leave. Everything you need is there! Can't wait to come back. ##### jamie g.

It is gigantic, with at least four different sitting areas and two very large master suites. The area for pool and darts is perfect and actually allows for real billiards games and not an endless use of the "short stick" because the walls are too close. There are high quality TVs all over the place. The kitchen is extremely well appointed with cabinets and drawers labeled for ease in finding things. And on and on. The house was just outstanding in every way - very clean, great mattresses, hot hot water, good water pressure, towels galore, plenty of coffee on hand, etc. On top of all that, the location is really great - just steps from the huge lake in the area - and there are plenty of boating-related options available to take full advantage of the water. Also the place has a nice buffer from the neighbors with a good sized yard and fence so you have plenty of privacy. Finally, the owners were very friendly and responsive in their communications. All in all a true 5 star experience. Highly recommended. ##### Judd E. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ---
