Exceptional cabin on a lake in the Ocala Forest! Plenty of space, amazing screened-in porch, canoes and kayaks with launching space, life jackets, paddles, fishing poles, and other supplies provided. Our family enjoyed s’mores by the fire put every night and kayaking/canoeing during the day on the lake…perfect family get-away and great location for visiting nearby springs. Cabin was well-decorated and so cozy! Host was amazing with communication. We would definitely book again!

I stayed here with my adult children. The home was very nice. We all loved the screened in porch. Lots of things to do in the area. Our favorite was kayaking down Silver River. We went on a few other hikes in the area and played frisbee golf
Beautiful place to share with the family, it met all expectations and more than we expected. Beautiful decoration of the cabin, clean, enough kitchen utensils, as well as in the bathroom. My children really enjoyed the bonfire at night, the canoes in the lake.Super quiet and spacious place.We suggest it 100%.
Just got home from a fantastic girls trip to Sliver Springs. We stayed at this lovely cabin for the long weekend and it was perfect. It has everything we needed. Cabin was clean, well appointed, location was super convenient. We had no problems during our stay. Would definitely return and recommend for anyone looking for a place to stay in Silver Springs
We had a very pleasant stay at the cabin. Very good communication with the host. Whenever I messaged her with a question, she was quick to respond! Thank you!
Had a relaxing last minute getaway weekend in the country. Very flexible and communicative host, clean house, very cozy. The screened porch and fully fenced front yard was perfect for hanging out with the pups. Close to Silver Springs for an epic paddle!
My husband I checked in and we had a couple issues in the beginning. Owner was quick to respond, which was nice. The beds were extremely comfortable and the softest sheets and cabin is as cute as can be. I would recommend this property.
We had a very fun time at this cabin. The property was as described and the photos showed accurate representation. It was located in a great place for day trips to silver springs and a handful of wonderful other springs that we had a great time checking out. I loved that is was dog friendly and enjoyed being able to bring the pups. The paddle boat was a lot of fun for me and my 9 yr old son and we used it several times (It is time for the foot pedal washers to be replaced because the boat was pulling in water upon pedaling - we saw replacement parts in the garage and thought to help change them but didn't have the tools to do so).A small recommended addition to property: an in site basket of marked beach towels "dog/lake friendly towels" - We did not want to risk ruining the white ones left for showers so we ended up going to the dollar general and purchasing a couple of our own cheap beach towels to use for the dogs after lake play. We didn't find the two beach towels on property until the end of our stay as they were tucked away on the bottom shelf of the kitchen pantry. A heads up for anyone that might have difficulty sitting low and getting back up - The main floor toilet is oddly very low to the floor - not a big deal for average users but it was tricky for my 75 yr old dad to use because getting back up was a challenge. Over all a great stay - a great time spent with the family - had everything we needed. P.S. the beds were good - very comfortable. )
We loved our stay. The cabin is very spacious and so nicely decorated! Truly one of the best cabins we've ever stayed at! We were able to use the canoe and the kayaks with ease. We visited Silver Springs State park (about 15 mins away) and Zip Canyon in Ocala (about 30 mins away).The cabin is located next to a lake, which makes it very special. To enhance this natural beauty, we would recommend cleaning up the entrance to the lake and adding a layer of sand. This small addition would create a welcoming touch, elevating the overall experience (just a suggestion). We'll for sure be back! Our kids also loved it.
I love this beautiful cabin. It feels like you are in the middle of the woods. The scenery with the lake is great. The location is ideal if you enjoy tithe tropical feel of central Florida. We spent a lot of time exploring the area particularly the OcalaForest. We loved kayaking the many natural springs, bird watching and hiking.
My only request is for the kayaks at the house be more accessible. We did not go out on the lake because we co8ldnt move the kayaks easily
The place is beautiful and very clean. The view across the lake was amazing and very relaxing sitting on the porch. However, there were a few things I would have liked different during our four night stay. We only had 1 dishcloth and 1 dish towel. Also my husband and I only had 3 towels and 3 wash clothes ((The same for our two friends who stayed upstairs.) and there were no extra blanket for on the bed. It was 39 degrees one night. I would stay agai but I would take some towels and a blanket.
Very pet friendly and quick access to the national forest and Ocala downtown. Beautiful cabin. Peaceful mornings sunrise on the water and cool evenings. Really enjoyed our stay.
This cabin is fantastic. This is my second time staying there and each time gets better and better. The host is on point you got any questions he answers you within five minutes definitely gonna make it a third time.. Absolute small slice of paradise spent my 60th birthday there. We will be back in January.
