Lovely home - perfect for a family get together

With bedrooms and bathrooms on each level, it was perfect for three families. There is a well-stocked kitchen and using the snack bar area and large dining table, we enjoyed meals together.

Amazing getaway!

This place is absolutely beautiful from the cabin to the lake. We spent most days floating in the water and boating. There is a very nice private dock and we were able to bring our boat which was great. Plenty of cookware and a grill for family dinners after being out on the water all day. The host was great to work with and always quick to respond to my questions. Would absolutely recommend!

Excellent home and owner

The owner was amazing. He’s incredibly responsive, quick, and helpful. The house is beautiful and well stocked. It was very nice having two masters as we were traveling with two families. The dock was so nice for our kids to swim off all day. The house is in a calm cove.

A Private Paradise

The property was even better in person than in photos and the layout was fantastic. With master bedrooms on all floors, everyone got privacy when desired and the mid level great room connected to the kitchen was a wonderful gathering place. We had the very best week and all 5 of us had a perfect time! The Lake was warm and swims off the dock were taken late night and early mornings. We also rented pontoon boat and could stop home and dock right at the cabin. You won't be sorry!

About the host

Hosted by John Kissel

Host profile image
Permanent home is in The Villages, FL but love spending time on lake Douglas. We are here every month to enjoy the area and to maintain the property. Our theory is the nicer the place, the better people will enjoy their stay!

Why they chose this property

Spacious log home that I purchased from the original builders who placed the logs themselves and did a lot of the construction, hiring out what they needed to. Lots of TLC went into this home and it shows.

What makes this property unique

Private, quiet, peaceful. Hard to see another house during the months leaves are on the trees, and only minimal homes in view during winter months. Year-round water views!
