Quiet getaway
Keystone Heights is a wonderful small town and this Lakefront cabin is a gem. It was perfect for the family to enjoy quality time together but also able to spread out for solitary moments. The view and the back porch can’t be beat!

Nice but no customer service
Property was nicely maintained. House was nice with good quality furniture and a cold A/C (important in FL). The lake was beautiful and neighbor friendly. Cleaning crew was a little sloppy (dishes weren’t clean and zero extra toilet paper). I tried several times to reach the management team but they did not respond.

Sunrise lake
Our stay at this lake house was for a sporting event my children participated in nearby. We were very busy. This was such a great place to start each day and end each day. Sunrises from across the lake which can spectacular views each morning. The back deck was so nice to grill and have meals. I do wish this house had a washer and dryer. This was the first time I have stayed in a rental without (but did not check the listing) and packed thinking I would be able to do laundry like I normally do.

Lovely deck and screen porch
We enjoyed our stay. We loved the screen porch and deck, beautiful sunrise view of the lake. However, it seems that no one had pulled maintenance for awhile. Several things didn't work, deck lighting, fan in the second bedroom, hairdryer, kitchen outlets. Would have been nicer if everything had been functioning.

Much Needed Getaway
This is the third time we have rented this property. We enjoy the location because it is close to family, the lake is beautiful, and the view from the back porch is amazing. Even when it rained (which it normally does on Florida hot afternoons) the view from the porch made the booking worth it. Upon checking we noticed the TV was not working but after contacting the owner we came up with a solution. Would rent this property again.

Awesome lakeside cabin
My friends and I came for a girls weekend. This place was even better than I thought. The bedrooms were nice, the sofas were comfy, and the screened in porch was awesome! The cabin is set up on a hill, looking down at the lake and the view is beautiful. I watched a colorful sunrise over the lake while relaxing in the porch. There is abundant wildlife and lots of birds, which was an added benefit. The check-in process was super easy. I can't really think how any thing could be improved!

Seniors reunion
We enjoyed the view of the lake from the house and deck. Sitting outside or in the screened in porch if buggy is perfect for memorable gatherings. We even saw a young red shouldered hawk “up close.” The 2 king beds and twins are all very comfortable. The house is graciously supplied with all cleaning and kitchen needs. Therefore for a short stay you don’t need to bring everything from your home to the rented one!

Amazing views
This lake house is very spacious, lots of room for activities. Huge property. We got to see many deers walking threw the property which was cool to see. I can’t express how amazing the lake was. The water was cold, we spent so much time out there & had a BLAST. We didn’t even want to get out of the water lol. The owner was amazing. He allowed us to have a extra hour to check out, told us about some local places & was in communication whenever we needed him. Thanks for a great stay.

Peaceful Getaway without having to Fly
Needed a break from the craziness of Covid 19 and how it has affected my my business and everyone around me I’m a physician in private practice. This home is cozy. Mark supplied every Amenity you could want and need and even drove down from Jacksonville to open the laundry room which was well used during our trip. Lovely place lovely people lovely lake . Stay away from the Duncun Donuts though. People are crazy trying to drive thru! Thanks Mark and family.
