Tranquility on Lake Josephine

Experience the charm of this beautifully renovated 4-bedroom, 2-bath lakeside retreat from the 1990s. Nestled on nearly an acre of lush land, it boasts a central AC/heat system and exquisite tile flooring throughout the lower level. The kitchen is adorned with modern appliances and elegant granite countertops, complemented by three sliding glass doors that frame breathtaking sunset vistas over the lake.

Upstairs, a cozy bedroom features a private balcony with panoramic westward views and a queen-size bed. Downstairs, three additional bedrooms offer luxurious sleeping arrangements: one with a king bed, another with a full-sized bed, and a third with two twin beds. For added versatility, the living room includes a couch and a spacious futon, secluded by graceful double French doors.

Step outside onto the screened porch, where two ceiling fans, a gas grill, and a dining table for 6-8 provide an ideal setting for lakeside barbecues and sunset gatherings. Beyond the porch lies a sprawling backyard adorned with three majestic oak trees draped in Spanish moss, a fire pit, and direct access to the lake's natural shoreline spanning 90 feet. Although three sides of the yard are fenced, the waterfront remains open and serene.

The property features a 199-foot dock with two slips and a nearby boat ramp, ensuring effortless access for boating enthusiasts. At the end of the dock, a screened boat house furnished with chairs offers yet another delightful venue to savor the sunset or indulge in a spot of fishing. Guests are encouraged to bring their own watercraft or utilize the open boat slip.

Good Ole Country Home
The property with its huge open yard, long dock and screened in dock house was so relaxing and beautiful! The house is exactly as described with a good ole country home feeling. We had 2 work vehicles and there was plenty of room to park for everyone, which is often a challenge. There were mostly females in our group and even this far out in the country we felt very safe here. Thank you!

A little TLC needed
Where to begin, the first day the water heater died but was fixed within a reasonable amount of time, then the city water feed broke so no water at all, but was fixed in reasonable amount of time. The house is kinda cramped with the king in the master bedroom not leaving much room to get around. The screens on the dock and the back deck were punched out so it made them unusable, but there were fixed a day before we left. Only one of the bedrooms had a TV. The front door jamb blew out but again was fixed so we could lock the door. The photos on line did not truly represent the property, but with some TLC and clean up it wouldn't be too bad. On the up side it was a nice quiet neighborhood with a nice view of the lake. The beds were comfy and there the A/C blew cold, This property needs to update the photos and do some landscaping. With all the problems the owners did offer us a few extra days for free, but we could only stay one due to the fact we had to be back up north.

Nice but…
The location is really nice, but for the price the accommodations were not great. It felt like staying at a friend’s vacation home. The location is beautiful though. A portion of the family was planning on staying ended up staying at a local hotel instead. Anyways, underwhelmed and wish we just all stayed at a hotel.

Relaxing and comfortable
Overall had a nice Thanksgiving week stay with our extended family. Easy check in and out. Excellent WiFi and cold central A.C. Adequate stocked kitchen. Lots of extra towels and linens. Nice neighbors. The structure of this home and it's furnishings are not comfortable for tall or fat people. The screened in porch needs repair. No dead bolt on outside door. One twin bed was broken and the upstairs mattress desperatly needs replaced. Couldn't fish well because too many lilly pads around the dock. I was a tad disappointed especially because the previous reviews were outstanding.

Exactly what we were looking for
A very nice few days on the lake, is just what we needed. We very much enjoyed our stay at this house on Lake Josephine. The owners were very cooperative with us having to change dates, due to a scheduling mix-up, even on short notice. And they made sure we had their contact info during our stay. Although we had no issues or questions, it was nice knowing they were available. The house had all the amenities we needed for comfort. We were able to enjoy our boat, with the boat launch very close by, and the sunsets were breathtaking! We hated to leave, but hope to return.

Love this lake house!!!
This was the second time that we stayed at this lake house and everything was perfect from start to finish! Nancy was so helpful and kind when we scheduled our reservation, and everything was nicely set up for us when we arrived. The area is so beautiful and peaceful, and it is so close to Sebring for restaurants, grocery stores, the Highlands Hammock State Park, and just about everything that you could possibly need. The large fenced in yard was a favorite for our dog! We absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend this lake house to anyone looking for a nice, peaceful and relaxing lake house that doesn't have a lot of motor boat traffic. We will definitely be booking it again for our next vacation!

Very nice place for a quiet getaway
Very nice place, exactly what the pictures depict. Not new but clean and comfortable. The best part is the outside area and dock. Great location. The price was a little misleading it shows it’s only 2 for people, any additional guests is extra but still reasonable specially during New Years when we booked.
