Peaceful cottage on the lake.

We had an awesome stay in this very comfortable cottage. The lake is beautiful. Plenty enough things to do and places to see in the area. Terry is a great host and we can't wait to come back.

Actions speak louder than words

Terry requires a one month minimum stay, so this is not a small investment of time or money. We have stayed with him before, we stayed with his this year, and we are already booked to stay with him next year.

A wonderful lakefront cottage

This is a wonderful cottage only a few feet from the water. We enjoyed watching limpkins, herons, and ibis most every day. The cottage is very comfortable and the owner is attentive to any issues.

Cozy getaway cottage

The property was what we expected of it. There were only a few minor issues with immediate follow-up and correction by Terry. Great couple who live in a quiet location and have chosen to share part of their surroundings with others.

Fabulous Sunrise over the Lake

Our friendly hosts made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Relaxing waterfront location and only a short walk to the 46 mile long paved Withlacoochee Trail for those who want to walk or bike. Close to Inverness where we found places to take water aerobics classes and play pickleball. Plenty of shopping and good restaurants in the area. Great place to stay!

Cozy, Comfortable, Close to Lake and Trail

This is a cozy diamond in the rough. It can easily and comfortably accommodate a family of 3 or 4. It is in a wonderful location, just a few feet to the Tsala-Apopka chain of lakes and only 1/4 mile to the 47-mile Withlacootchee bike trail (paved) and beautiful Old Floral City Road. Best of all the hosts, Terry and Honey Carr, are top notch. We have traveled widely staying in HomeAway rentals and have never had more accommodating hosts. They live close by and were immediate in their response to the slightest problems, yet were never intrusive. You will be pleased to have met them.

Ideal Place to Snow Bird

The property is ideal for a “snow bird” winter. The location is good for warm weather, convenient for “things to do”, safe for visitors, and the owners are extremely friendly and helpful. We were treated well, would stay again, and would recommend to others.
