We rented the house for our family and all the Groomsmen for our son's wedding. The house itself was wonderful! Lots of space to spread out. Very clean. I'm sure it's amazing in the summer if you're looking for a place to just go and chill. Julie is a VERY responsive property manager! While we didn't get to enjoy the various decks or firepit due to the chilly weather and our schedule, the views were nice. Lots of windows! I do wish we had known two things before going... 1) How very STEEP the driveway is. It's narrow and was slick due to the rain (which the homeowner can't control, of course, but it was concerning.) It might not have bothered some renters but I wish I had known before we had rented. 2) The water pressure wasn't so great. That would not have necessarily prevented me from renting but helpful to know in advance. This house's location is out far enough for peace and quiet if that's what you're looking for. However, it might help folks to know that an eight mile trip - in Gainesville traffic - translated to a 30 minute ride each time we went into town or to the chapel. I just didn't anticipate that traffic would be such an issue. Overall, we had an enjoyable weekend staying in this wonderful house.

We've had a women's weekend retreat two times in this house, and both times were fantastic! There are plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, and the common areas are wonderful for talking, playing games and dancing. It is also extremely clean and well-stocked for cooking. We will definitely return!

Our group of all couples had such a nice stay. This house was perfect for our marriage retreat. It was nicely stocked with useful kitchen items since we made most all meals at the house. The bedrooms all had beautiful views and nice big beds. We also loved the large dining room table and other common areas that were easy for our group to gather.

We didn’t get to enjoy the house and the view, we spent most of our time in the hospital. My 5 year old granddaughter died of a bad infection that was camouflaged by a flue. We were glad to be all together in this terrible time. The hospital did everything they could. So I can’t say I enjoyed my stay but the house was nice. Thank you for asking,

The property is amazing! The house is huge and seems to never end. We had a great time!

The house was exactly as described and pictured online. Seven nicely appointed bedrooms all with king or queen beds. Recently remodeled bathrooms were nice, too. Plenty of space to spread out, including extensive outdoor deck areas. My group was 7 college friends who get together every October. We enjoyed the neighborhood, taking walks each day. It was too cool for boating or swimming, but we sat on the dock and enjoyed the sunshine. The property is surrounded by trees. We felt like we were living in the forest. Kevin and Julie were easy to work with and answered all of questions.

We enjoyed a long holiday weekend with family in this house. Great location (minutes from grocery store, restaurants, and downtown gainesville) but in a lovely setting. We loved the layout! several comfortable gathering places for smaller groups inside and out, and also plenty of room for everyone to be together at the dining room table or in the large den. Rooms were as pictured and online description was accurate. We loved the huge dock! well stocked with life jackets, nice outdoor furniture, kayaks and a stand up paddle board. Owner very responsive to inquiries. would definitely stay here again.

Terrific property - tons of space!

It was great from beginning to end. No issues at all. Will definitely stay again.

Great!

Great!

This house is amazing!! The location and layout is fantastic for any large group traveling together. You get the beauty of being on the lake and ability of being centrally located to everything. We loved how you can comfortably gather in any of the seating areas. Can’t wait to come back again!

We hosted our staff retreat of 15 people. Only a few stayed over night. There was significant room for us to do all activities. There was room for us to space out and have individual time. All the windows make for a relaxing early morning sunrise breakfast, great view of the deer and beautiful sunsets. Beautiful walks to the dock. Large bedrooms. Would so it again! A place of peace.

The home is very spacious with excellent bedrooms (7), bathrooms (5.5) and various spaces to gather. It was perfect for our weekend getaway with friends!

This was perfect for what our work team needed. Great meeting spaces and even space for everyone to spread out. A truly great experience!

The property was well maintained, extremely spacious and offered all the comforts of home. We were delightfully surprised to still see changing leaves and felt like we were in a treehouse. The owners supplied all the necessary items and the house was well stocked. We had a large group and the different hang out spaces really worked well for us. I highly recommend this property!

Tons of space. We enjoyed using barbecue and kayaks. The kids each got to watch their own big screen TV. There was some minor deferred maintenance, but it may have just been things that were broken recently since the owner seemed glad that I pointed out things that could use attention.
