About

Come and enjoy the lake life! Just far enough in the country to get real peace and quiet and enjoy the stars at night. Close enough to restaurants to enjoy a night out. Nearby Ocala National Forest and several natural springs offer a variety of outdoor adventures. If you enjoy mountain biking or horseback riding, there are amazing places to do both! If you like to fish you are also in luck, an eight pound large mouth bass was recently hauled in right off our dock!

Good to know

This amazing lake front property has room for the whole family. Measuring at over 4000 square feet of interior space and more than 900 square feet of screened porch, everyone will be able to spread out and relax. In addition each guest room has access to its own bathroom allowing each set of guests to retreat into their own private space when the time comes to recharge for the next adventure. The boat house over the water is another enormous space where you might just spend all your time. Peaceful and breezy with seating for 20 including hanging chairs and a hammock. Bring your boat and anchor right off the sandy beach. Over 140 feet of sandy beach lakefront so you can enjoy many different types of water and sandy activities! Enjoy a beach bonfire in the fire pit and roast some s'mores! You will find yourself gathering for meals in the gigantic gourmet kitchen and making memories together or possibly making all your meals outside on the Weber grill and Blackstone griddle.

Other Details to Note

We do not allow large gatherings at our home. Please plan to keep the number of guests to the maximum occupancy at the time of booking.

Our family had a wonderful stay at Raymond’s place. It was more than spacious, with plenty of indoor and outdoor places to spread out and enjoy beautiful Lake Weir. The house and kitchen were very well stocked, including dishes for the kids and even some board games, both of which were a great plus. Hope to stay there again!

Ray was a wonderful host! The space was exactly as described - clean, spacious with an extremely well equipped kitchen, bathrooms and overall house with even a crib. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. We were a family of 11 with 8 adults and 3 children and all felt like we had the appropriate amount of privacy. Ray was available when/if I had questions, provided us with tips on best boat ramp, restaurants on the water, etc. I would absolutely stay again.

Our stay at this beautiful and spacious lake house could not have been more perfect!! Our very large group stayed and there was plenty of room for everyone! We enjoyed fishing, kayaking, swimming in the lake, coffee on the veranda while watching the beautiful sunrises and sunsets, playing games at the large table, watching movies in the beautiful living room, eating meals cooked in the giant and very well stocked kitchen & climbing into the most comfortable and cozy bedrooms! The home was spotless and Raymond was readily available to help us when we had any questions. If 10 stars were possible I’d give them!!! If we’re ever back in town as a family this will be the place we stay at!

Our group of 11 adults stayed three nights while doing a kayaking trip to Florida. We loved the house and the location. It's a beautiful setting, in a quiet neighborhood, and sits on a large piece of private land, right on the lake. The house itself was spacious, very clean, very well maintained, and stocked well for basic needs. The beds were very comfortable, and we had plenty of towels, etc. The only slightly awkward part was that one bedroom, with bunk beds, is only accessible via passing through another bedroom. That impacted the privacy of the the occupants of both rooms, but they adjusted. The good news is that both rooms had their own bathrooms, and were otherwise spacious and comfortable. The host, Ray, actually came by to fix an item for us and we met him. He was very helpful, and incredibly responsive throughout our stay. He even provided us with some wood for a fire in the firepit by the lake. We would absolutely stay here again!

Our stay at this Lake Weir home was absolutely perfect. Four days was not enough! The home itself is beautiful, spacious, SO clean and very cozy. Everyone in our group had plenty of room and felt right at home! We really enjoyed eating and playing games around the big table! The lake and beach are so nice and we loved spending the day relaxing and playing in the water. Raymond was an excellent host. He provided lots of information before check in and answered all of our questions. He provides lots of extras in the home that make you feel right at home! We hopefully will be back!

Ray is the best host. He went above and beyond to accommodate us and make sure we had everything we needed. He responded quickly to my messages and was even at the house for a brief time when we arrived which was great. He gave us some tips and answered our questions but also gave us our privacy. He was very friendly and kind. His house was perfect for our large family and the location could not have been better. We were right on the lake. The house is beautiful, very spacious and comfortable. He had chairs and kayaks down at the beach area and a huge dock with room for our entire family to hang out on. Our kids and grandkids are already wanting to book again for next year. Definitely recommend this place!!

Our first time at this house. It was exactly as advertised. Plenty of room for our group and had all the amenities that you could need. Host was friendly and always available.

We highly recommend staying at this lake house! It was the perfect spot for our family get-together. Space, beautiful property, wonderful kitchen, amazing patio, and everything needed to not leave beyond a grocery store. And equally perfect was our host Ray. It’s rare you’ll find a host who legitimately cares about the enjoyment of those staying at his property. Without hyperbole, you’d assume he was once a manager at a luxury hotel. Just wish we could recommend Ray and his amazing Lakehouse more than 5 stars

Beautiful home at a beautiful location! Home had everything needed for our weekend retreat. Host was very intentional about providing all that we needed to enjoy our weekend. We were here with two other families and we all thoroughly enjoyed our time at this property. Would love to return next year!
