We had such a great time at the lake. Everything was perfect. The hosts are so easy to deal with. We also rented the pontoon boat… such a cool way to see the whole lake. Can’t wait to stay again and see all the updates that are in progress

Cowpen Lakehouse

The property was beautiful, better than the pictures. The home was nice,comfortable, and larger than we thought. The kitchen and outdoor spaces were very well appointed. My wife, my dog and I all loved our stay the lake and the surrounds were beautiful, The boat was nice and spacious and started right up. We caught bass everytime out. We enjoyed how quiet it was but for the sounds of nature. I expected mosquitos but there weren't any which was awesome. We would defintely go again

Lake Getaway

We really enjoyed our stay…absolutely loved the cabin, it was so comfortable and cozy and just the right amount of space for us. The property has a lake and a pond. We had the lake practically to ourselves and caught a lot of fish from the pond. We had excellent communication from Jackie and she was very accommodating.

Perfect getaway!

Everything was amazing from the property to the house to the ambiance. Lake was perfect for boating, tubing, wakeboarding, hydro sliding and relaxing. We brought our boat and rented the pontoon as well and had a blast. House/cabin had everything you need and then some. Perfect for a group or family. We will definitely be back! Thank you again!

BEST VACATION EVER!

We booked this vacation for some much-needed relaxation, and we are so glad we did! The Cabin and the property are amazing. From floating in the lake to time in the cabin. Fishing, boating , this property has it all. We are officially regulars from here on out! We rented the boat and enjoyed our time on the water as well, that's a must! We will definitely be booking again.

Relaxing get away

The lake house was the perfect place to stay to get away from it all! Sitting on the porch watching and listening to wildlife, playing corn hole by the pond, evening cook outs under the stars and excursions on the lake in the boat and kayak all made for a wonderful family stay. Great amenities with everything catered for just like being at home. The house is nicely situated too for exploring the area for many state parks and towns to explore like Micanopy and Palatka. The hosts were great with communication throughout the booking process and our stay, thank you Jackie. We had a wonderful time and look forward to returning!

Perfect Family Vacation

I don’t want to say how much my family loves this place so it doesn’t sell out!! Lol but don’t even think about it. This home and property are the most idealistic Florida Lakehouse experience you can find. It’s peaceful, big and shaded by old oaks. We also rented the pontoon boat and made so so so many sweet memories. We are ready to book our 3rd summer stay for 2024!

Graduation Stay

We stayed for an extended weekend during my son’s recent graduation. The property was perfect- lots of space, peaceful mornings, birds and waterfowl. It wasn’t a short drive to Gainesville commencement activities but it was a very easy drive so that was not a problem. We rented the pontoon boat and enjoyed time on the lake. I don’t think the photos did the place justice. The place had character and charm. Jackie was easy to communicate with and responded quickly when we had a last minute change- very accommodating. We highly recommend the property and hope to stay another time.

Awesome Lake House!

Lake house was beautiful and cozy! Had everything we needed. Views were wonderful and communication with Jackie the host was great! We rented the pontoon boat as well and enjoyed lots of lake time. Caught about a dozen bass and bluegill in the lake! Nothing crazy big but still a ton of fun! We spent 3 days but next time will go for a week, never enough time at the lake!

Everything was as near to perfect as possible. The house was wonderful. The Lake was wonderful. The owners were wonderful. The weather was wonderful. We brought our jet skis with us and had a blast. We rented the pontoon boat and that was wonderful. The worst thing about it was that we had go back to work. Jackie was the best. Thank you and God Bless,

Great place to stay

We stayed here for a family event. Great place to stay with a group or alone. Spacious inside & the kitchen had all the equipment needed to cook or grill outside. Has a nice screened in patio, pavilion and easy accessible dock. We chose to rent the pontoon boat which we enjoyed. Fishing and bird life in abundance We will stay again. Just to remember this is located on a lake so you might want to bring mosquito spray.
