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.

A beautiful home that truly met our family’s needs. The spacious layout worked perfectly for my family of 12. The kitchen is very large and fully stocked with every utensil you could possibly need to prepare any meal. Evenings by the pier were such a treat. We loved relaxing while watching the stunning sunsets. One night we enjoyed the fire pit by the lake and made s’mores, which was such a fun touch. We even did a bit of fishing! Raymond, our host, was wonderful from the very beginning. His communication was amazing, courteous, responsive, and helpful from booking all the way through checkout. The house itself was beautiful, but the backyard was where we spent most of our time. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and truly wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend!

I rented this home to spend Christmas with my family. The house was great! The photos and descriptions in the listing were accurate, and the host was very friendly and responsive. He even had a Christmas tree and decorations up which we greatly appreciated as we had children in our group. The lake was beautiful, and the kids enjoyed playing on the beach. The home was roomy with all the comforts and amenities we could want, I would definitely stay again!

This location is fantastic for a family retreat. We had a great time kayaking and just relaxing. Watching the sunrise every morning from the porch was an awesome bonus. The house was very well stocked with the supplies that we needed as well.

We had a small family birthday get together and it was absolutely perfect! The house was beautiful and very accommodating. The kitchen is enormous with a ton of prep space for lots of cooks in the kitchen. And the lake and the neighbors were wonderful. Hopefully we will be back for another stay

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!
