Amazing lake house

Very nice interior design. We thought the house would sway and make lots of house noises being built over the water. But it was soild did not move at all even during afternoon storms. Very well built. Most relaxing vacation we had in a long time.

Fishing at Crescent Lake

My adult son and I used this lovely lake cottage as a getaway to enjoy some fishing and relaxing. The cottage was better than the pictures described! It was very clean, well equipped, and provided a great experience for us. We were able to fish right off the front porch and side docks. The owners were also very responsive to a couple of questions we had during our stay. We would certainly recommend it!

Beautiful views and quiet neighborhood!

This house on the water was terrific! We very much enjoyed the sunrise coming up in the morning, and the peace and quiet of the evening hours. The hosts were very thoughtful in providing information about the area, and they even left up a bottle of wine to enjoy on the screened-in porch at the start of our stay. Thank you for sharing your lovely lake house.

Second time just as great as the first time!

We just completed our second trip at this location. It's a very unique house with everything you need, even if the weather is bad you can watch the lake, fish, and walk two doors down to a nice restaurant. Very quiet and the owner is outstanding.

Private, secluded and serene.

This is a very unique property. The cottage is located at the end of a long dock on a huge lake. From the ample back deck you can have your morning coffee and watch the sunrise and in the evenings sip wine and view the stars unblemished by city lights. The open modern kitchen and vast living room have water views from all sides. There is also a screened side area with a nice bbq grill and outdoor shower. The king bed in the master was extremely comfortable and both bedrooms had lots of storage space. Crescent City is a great place to bike ride with virtually no traffic and beautiful tree lined streets. Finally this cottage is ideal for boat owners with a nice dock and a free boat ramp just down the street.

Me and my husband had a great time at this lake house. It's located in a quiet town but still has enough to go explore and places to go eat at. We were able to fish right off the porch basically :) so that was great bonus. Thank you for a great weekend getaway!

We are a long time married couple that lived on our houseboat during the summer months. We love fishing and boating and being on the water. This home and its unique on the water location is perfect for us.

Why they chose this property

We visited this property on our vacation and fell in love with the peacefulness and tranquility of the home. The home is clean and safe giving both of us a truly relaxing vacation. Crescent City is old Florida at its best and is the bass capital of the world. We were amazed at the free boat ramps located on either side of the home and 2 restaurants within a block of the home. It checked our boxes.

What makes this property unique

This home is located literally on the water and has fishing from the home along with views that are indescribable. The lake is fed by Dunns Creek which is off of the St. John's River. For anyone needing to relax and recharge, this home checks the boxes. It also includes a screened in porch and outdoor shower
