Very peaceful and perfect for a getaway. My husband and I came up for the Gator game and it was perfect distance from the stadium and had just enough food around a couple miles down the road. Fryers Chicken was delicious!

It was a good-sized house, with a nice back porch area. There is a deck along the water to sit at which was nice (not a swimming area). I would suggest repairing some boards on the main deck. It's a bit remote, but if you are looking for something quiet and out of the way for an affordable price then I would recommend. It was about a 35 minute ride from Gainesville.

The property is located in a picturesque location on the lake. We liked the layout of the rooms in the house. The house has everything you need. The national park is a twenty-minute drive from it, where you can walk among the forest and beautiful lakes. We would also like to rent this house again.

Difficult to find, not well marked and road hazard present making it difficult to reach property. Neighbors basically had junkyard next door making surroundings unappealing. Dirty dishes found in cupboards and broken dishwasher. No checkout instructions so maybe previous guests didn’t know to wash their dishes? Good potential with otherwise nice decor etc

Mold House
The smell of mold hits you walking in the door. Next, you notice the filthy condition of the place. The first day was spent cleaning to make it more liveable. It was bad enough we documented photos and shared them with the owner. The dishwasher didn't work, only 1 towel per person was allocated, and there was zero communication as to check-in, wifi info, no check out instructions. The water was rusty and stained clothing. To top of a disastrous stay, a male owner entered the property without notification. He felt comfortable to make his dinner and eat while we were out. We were surprised as we returned to someone being in the home! After confronting him with the photos and pointing out the severe mold issue in the home (we both were ill from it), his response was, "I am trying to work on it." This house is a physical danger to people! We tried to find another place to stay, but were unable to find suitable lodging. If I could give lower ratings I would! I asked for a refund on the cleaning and was told I would receive one. It hasn’t happened.
