Perfect for spring break
We stayed at the cottage with our 2 kids and their friends (4 kids, ages 10-17) for our spring break. We live in a beach town and were looking for a Central-Florida experience away from the coast. The cottage was perfect for our group, with plenty of sleeping space and outdoor activities. We were able to paddle Silver Spring Run, hike and geocache in Salt Springs, and zip line go for a horseback trail ride at the Canyons. Despite our active, busy days, the kids ran to the lake as soon as we returned to the cottage to use the pedal boat, kayak and fish. The weather was perfect for a fire and s’mores at night. The host was responsive when we needed an early check in to avoid bad weather and was helpful throughout our stay. The only negative was road noise from the nearby highway, but it still felt like an escape to a peaceful lake. Great experience!

All the Comforts of Home
We had everything we needed at the cottage to be very comfortable for the entire month and David was quick to respond when we reached out. It was great to have multiple outdoor sitting areas and ample space in the house with comfy beds. The lake view was wonderful, and we enjoyed frequent visits from the sandhill cranes and little blue herons.Thank you David and Darlene for creating such a wonderful space and sharing it with us.

Great few days at this cute lakefront cottage!
We enjoyed our stay very much. This cottage is very nicely remodeled and we found everything we needed for our stay. The host has some nice extras to make your stay more enjoyable. The canoe and paddle boat were a hit with my teenage children (and husband). Beautiful lakefront view and very comfortable beds. We would definitely stay again.

Spacious and easy
This house was great-we were meeting up with extended family in the Ocala national forest, but needed more space. I loved the layout. There is a super separate, quiet comfy sun porch and the kitchen is far from the bedrooms (ideal with kids). Overall, loved it!

Great little place
Traveled to the area to kayak Silver Springs. The property was close to the state park and offered a beautiful lake view of its own. Property was very clean and new décor, beds were very comfortable. Communicated with owners on a few occasions and found them very responsive and accommodating. Overall a great stay.

Beautiful Lake View
We really enjoyed our stay at the Silver Springs Lakefront cottage!!! It was super clean, was completely updated and had beautiful lake views. The owners were available with any questions or needs. The beds were very comfortable! They had a canoe and paddle boat to use on the lake. The only negative was the road noise but we "toned it out" and had a wonderful relaxing time!

Perfect but nerve wracking
I was initially worried about the small dirt road to the house. My sister said it was too narrow for her van. We fit our vehicles but didn’t try with our dually truck. We parked it at our parents. With the wedding getting closer, I had hoped communication was quicker. I had initially messaged a greeting that no one answered (still left unanswered) and it was hard to get anyone on the phone (VRBO reps tried as well on two separate occasions). I sent a message with my inquiry through the app hoping it wouldn’t go unnoticed and they responded. But despite the hiccups and missed communications, my family and I were so happy to have this place during our wedding. So many memories were made here. My only recommendation is to work less like a business owned property, get the door hinges fixed, greet potential guests and be more personable! Thank you!

Cozy Cottage!
The property was adorable and clean. A great location if you are planning on exploring Silver Springs and Juniper Springs state parks. Right in the middle of both parks. Ocala was also close by with a great downtown area with lots of restaurants. We would book this home again.
