Excellent Highly Recommend

We went to get away and do some fishing as well as celebrate Thanksgiving. Craig the owner was Fantastic and very caring about us having everything we needed. The house was clean and well stocked with everything g we needed. In addition if you want to go fishing on Lake Okeechobee this is the place to stay. You are literally 5 minute's from the boat ramp and the Kissimmee river at the mouth of lake O. The house has a large overhang to park your boat under to keep it out of the sun and weather. To Sum up I will be back a lot for sure. Thanks Craig for everything.

Perfect weekend away. We brought the boat and had very easy access to the boat ramp. Got us set up with an awesome duck hunt. Property was very clean, safe and had everything you could need. Craig was a great host and went above and beyond for anything that we needed! Definitely will be back.

Fishermans Retreat!!!!!

What an awesome place to stay with Large carport to park our boat. The property was very clean and had every amenity you could want for an extended stay. WiFi was easy to access which made using your computer or cell phone internet connection super easy. Craig, the property owner, was extremely friendly. He made all of us feel at home. Our stay was issue free but after getting to know Craig, I am sure if there was any issue he would be "Johnny on the Spot". There is no doubt in my mind, we will be coming back very soon!!! Brian W.

Very Nice Place

Enjoyed our stay and visit. Nice and quiet and friendly neighbors and neighborhood. Craig, the owner kept in contact and very hospitable. He was very concerned with our satisfaction. Hopefully we'll be able to stay here again when we visit Okeechobee. If you are looking for a place to stay we would recommend here.

About the host

Hosted by Craig Lamb

Host profile image
I'm a Florida native. I enjoy fishing, duck hunting and hanging out with my dogs and wife. I'm retired from the construction industry. I guide on the Lake for specks/crappie during the winter season ( Oct - April). Guests receive a discount for these trips while they stay. I can also facilitate deer, turkey, duck, alligator and hog hunting trips and air boat sightseeing trips for you.

Why they chose this property

Our place is geared towards the traveling and tournament fisherman with their own boats so this property is perfectly situated for them. We are two minutes from the free public boat ramps at Okee-Tantie and Scott Driver Park. Okee-Tantie has a nice waterfront park if you like to sit and just watch all the activities.

What makes this property unique

We are close to town, yet far enough away if you you know what i mean. We have our own covered fish cleaning station outdoors. Room for one boat and truck under cover. For the tournament fisherman, we are only two minutes aways from the launch sites. For those that enjoy a nice hike, we are right next to the "dike" and if you walk up there early in the morning, you may see deer, bobcats, turkey, rabbits, etc.
