A lovely lakeside location in a spacious characterful home with all modern conveniences. The deck is a great place to relax and watch the sunset/ sunrise but remember to pack some bug repellent/ citronella candles! Shops and restaurants are within a short drive. Nice experience - thank you!

Hidden gem

My best friend and I took our 3 kids and our moms here for Spring Break. We had such a great time, especially kayaking on the lake. It was so nice to wake up, have coffee and go kayaking. We truly enjoyed ourselves. The kids loved the board games, especially twister. You literally just need to pack your clothes, bathing suit, sun screen and stop at Walmart which is 5 minutes away for groceries, I'd also pick up a few rolls of toilet paper and paper towels. Bring a flash light or two because it does get very dark there. Everything else you need is there!!

I really tried to give this place a chance

I have to start with the positive, because there were quite a few things we loved about this home. We happily embraced its antique southern charm, and a beautiful lake, complete with deck and beach. We have no problem with old, squeaky iron beds, and unique antique items throughout. Be sure to inspect them and take photos upon arrival, as we found a few things broken, such as the coffee table foot. We sent these to the owner immediately, so she could be aware. However things that should not be found in ANY short term rental are threadbare, blood-stained sheets. Antiques can be old. Sheets should not be. When both the upper and lower sheets of several beds are peppered with blood spots, that is not at all charming. Those are deal-breakers. Other problems made us even question whether the linens had been washed prior to our arrival. The shower floor had an old used washcloth and soap. Towels wreaked of mold/mildew smells. And the ceilings had water stains and visible black mold spots. The place has beautiful bones, but these are serious concerns for anyone sensitive to mold. We reached out to the owner who simply said she would let cleaning services know and she would have it taken care of after we leave. No compensation was offered, despite our request, and no other recourse except to use the additional linens in the closet which also contained the same moldy smells. To be good sports, we attempted to wash both the sheets and towels ourselves….until we opened the washer. I have never seen such a mold-filled unsanitary washing machine in my life. Thick overwhelming black mold along the gasket, and mold smell. I wish I could attach photos of everything. We ran a couple loads of water and Citric Acid to attempt to clean the washer itself. But the smell and mold remained. If bloody unclean linens and moldy ceilings do not scare you off, I would suggest you take pictures before and after. Also be prepared to buy your own Propane as we were informed on xmas weekend that Propane was not guaranteed to be included with the grill. A grill without propane doesn’t do much good. So a last minute trip to town was required. If you just want a lake, bring your own linens and mildew spray.

We loved our stay!

We loved our stay. It's one of those houses you can just imagine all grown kids coming home for a holiday and all their kids running and playing outside. A good Ole Norman Rockwell painting. We really enjoyed sitting out on the deck and relaxing. The shower in the main bathroom is a little short. If you're over 6' you may want to shower upstairs. Several different rooms available for groups of people to play games, mingle or just read quietly.

Old home full of charm

The home was beautiful and had everything to make our stay comfortable. We absolutely loved the antique furniture and the charm of that old home.. very unique. The Lake and beautiful property were amazing. We spent a lot of time on dock and even did some fishing and canoeing and bon fire. Such a relaxing atmosphere especially for a bunch of “mature” (didn’t want to say old lol) people and some not in the best of health who were able to enjoy it too. The location was perfect for all as we traveled from different directions. We are all hoping to make this a yearly event at this location. Host was amazing, answering my messages quickly. She was very helpful and accommodating.

Perfect, Peaceful "get-of-town" Long Weekend!

Exactly as described & then some! Completely got to disconnect & unwind. Stayed 3 nights & didn't want to leave (already wondering when we can go again)! Was just the 2 of us & felt like we were in an enormous, yet very cozy & ever so quaint home! I wasn't 100% how much privacy on lake to expect, reading it was in front of the house, across a small dirt passage - but it's basically part of the front yard & felt 100% private walking over there (after rolling out of bed holding coffee or an adult beverage). You pass 1 gorgeous/newer house on the little passage, driving to this Old Florida Rare Gem Home & I'd assumed we'd be seeing them as everyone shares the lake - but not once & even if did - the private beach/tree deck area is still far away enough "just a wave" would have sufficed. Every time of day was perfect there & felt like we weren't even in FL anymore (aside from the sun). I way over packed on essentials not needed (just an fyi)...they have tupperware to store food in, common spices, every type of glass /plate - everything needed in a kitchen all set up (& neatly labeled cabinets/drawers so you aren't hunting). Also have Keurig coffee maker & a regular pot coffee maker - brought everything from own sponge, salt, aluminum foil, storage bags, garbage bags, can opener - etc. etc & didn't need to have packed any of that...(nice to know for our next time, as will make packing a cinch)! Only left the home 1 evening try the fried chicken I'd read a review about in town (...and was awesome). Grilled the other 2 nights, husband opted to use the charcoal grill (as they are side by side) as we only have propane at home & the charcoal seemed "fitting". Nice grill lighting on the trees too - so cooking was a breeze. Brought our own charcoal & lighter fluid (but learned didn't need that when got there too) - although owner had already said they aren't positive of levels of propane or charcoal there - as each guest may or may not use & likely leave some left overs for the next guest (only reason we didn't leave our bug spray or charcoal - as literally grabbed our only stash off our own porch as think we have more bugs in South FL, than they do up there - as bugs were not an issue for us (perhaps time of year). Everything was pristine clean, (& didn't need all the toilet paper I packed either as well stocked bathrooms too). Just pack up & just go...doesn't matter what you pack as won't see anyone (unless you really want to). Can't wait to return!
