This home gave us ample space, ample seating in several areas and 5 bedrooms with their own bathroom - plus a community powder room for use when in the kitchen and family room. The kitchen was a great place to hang out at the bar and at the table. It looks like they brought in a bunch of sand and have a beautiful spot facing the water. The kitchen was well equipped and the hosts left necessities like paper towel, garbage bags and dish soap - a nice plus in the rental community. The owner was very attentive and willing to help with any and every question we had. A great host for certain. One thing to be careful of are the wood floors - they can be slippery, outside of that, we have no complaints and had a wonderful visit even though the it would have been nice to be there under different circumstances. Definitely worth renting. Thanks Ray!!! ##### Katherine S.

Almost perfect stay at this beautiful lake house. The owner is a top notch guy, going above what a normal host would do. Our only complaints, and they are minor, is the internet only based TV and the cooking pans. This time of year, we wanted to watch some football and could not because everything was app based and we don’t have a Hulu Live subscription. Pan aren’t non-stick either and were a pain to cook on then clean. The lake was so peaceful that it far outweighed the minor negatives. You’ll not regret staying here!!! ##### Melissa D.

We came down for a fishing tournament held in Leesburg, and it was perfect for our 2 families. Very impressed with how clean everything was - and the kitchen was stocked for a chef's dream. The lake views of sunrise and sunset were memorable as well as the 7.5 lb bass we caught off the deck! We hope to return again soon - as we fell in love with Ocklawaha and the surrounding areas. Communication with the homeowner was easy and always informative. We will be back! ##### Lizanne Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teri R. 23 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Breathtaking Getaway! Our host, Ray, was most responsive. The property and home five star! We enjoyed plenty of space for our party of 8 to spread out for quiet moments on the many hammocks, an Adirondack chair at the waters edge or morning coffee/sunrises and sunsets on the grand screened porch. Very quiet. Each couple commented on the comfort of the beds and loved having a private bathroom. We had tons of family game time, room for many cooks (even dancing) in the more than spacious kitchen, frisbee on the lawn and a swim at the end of the dock… We found this property to be one of a kind in the area. Furnishings and appliances all in new condition. Property very well maintained. ##### Teri R.

My family had the best time staying here! The house is beautiful and the lake is amazing! Ray was a great host, the refrigerator/freezer wasn't working right when we arrived and he come over with a mini fridge, new freezer, and countertop ice maker. The bedrooms are very spacious, perfect for our big family! Great location on the lake, and the dock is a great asset. We will most definitely be back next year! ##### Melissa E.

It is unlike anything else in the rental market place. The very large private dock with stereo speakers, ceiling fans and lots of outdoor seating made it the perfect hangout spot right on the water! And the huge screened in porch with its expansive water views was the perfect place to relax with morning coffee, afternoon refreshments or an evening watching the beautiful changing colors of the sky. An amazing relaxing getaway. The photos provided are exactly what you will find when you arrive. Thank you to the friendly helpful owners! ##### Bob Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Teri B. 7 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Nice Place with a Nervous Owner We met the property owner; Ray is a nice guy, just a nervous first-time rental property owner. The property was lovely and needed some maintenance, but that is not unexpected with property this age, nothing too major, pressure wash, and touch-up painting. Septic system and A/C. The property owner did a courtesy trash pickup on Tuesday, stating the septic was full and to limit usage if possible and then return to the Property on Friday after the lawn care mowed Friday morning to have the system pumped. So we were a little surprised to learn that Ray stayed the night on-site to meet the septic people, and Upon leaving, the system still had not been emptied. IMO septic system can’t keep up - with the rainy weather and 5.5 bathrooms, washer, and dishwasher. We had nine adults and four children (2 in diapers); we did have daily visitors, some local friends and family enjoyed the lake with us Tuesday through Friday, and some family had to stay with relatives nearby. We were disappointed to learn that this location will double in price next year (we booked August 2020 with the previous owners); this might not be the place if you are looking to find a yearly rental. ##### Teri B.

My family and I had a great stay at this home on the lake! The kids enjoyed jumping off the dock and kayaking and the adults enjoyed happy hour on the patio with a gorgeous view! We also visited the many springs in Ocala National Forest and would recommend this property to anyone looking to connect with nature! ##### Christine M.
