Summary: We stayed to celebrate our daughter’s graduation from UF Vet school. The house was beautiful and spacious. We had 4 adults and 1 teenager with plenty of room. We enjoyed mornings and evenings sitting on the dock and porch. We spent many hours fishing off the dock and landed a few small fish. The weather was also perfect the entire stay. I appreciated the canoe and kayak options however my family was scared an alligator was going to eat them LOL, no gators were seen. The only negative I have is the shower water pressure was weak and the ladies complained about getting shampoo out of their hair. Wasn’t a big deal for me and certainly not a deal breaker. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend this house.

Summary: Very relaxing home The back porch is fantastic and the lake views gorgeous It's a bit of a drive into Gainesville, but it was nice to get away from all the graduation crowds. Comfortable beds and plenty of room. We had a great weekend!

Summary: We rented this home to attend my son's graduation at UF. It is a beautiful property and house has a lot of space. Too cold and windy that weekend to get out on the lake unfortunately. It was about a 30 minute drive to the university which was not as convenient for attending some events associated with graduation. Otherwise I would definitely recommend.
