This house can be rented as a 4/3 or a 3/2 because of the in-law suite ...see our other listing to rent it as a 4/3. Only renting the 4/3 house guarantees you will have the whole property to yourself.
Bring the whole family to this amazingly restored Florida lake home with lots of room for fun. Swim in the lake, catch some fish, build a sandcastle, make s'mores, nap in the sunroom, play fetch with your dog in the fenced yard, and so much more. Only an hour away from the beaches and the many springs of North Florida. The 1940's "Camp Blanding" house has had a complete makeover giving it the feel of an "Old Florida" lake house with all the comforts of modern living.

About the host
Hosted by Aimee Olmsted
We are a husband and wife team that have been in the long term rental business for almost 30 years. Our specialty is finding the properties that no one else wants ("extreme fixer uppers"), seeing the potential behind the disaster, and turning them back into a home. We love our jobs and are very hands on, doing most of the work ourselves.
After finishing the remodel of this spectacular lake house, we decided the property was too special not share with others, which is why we are opening it up to the short term rental market.
The house was originally a "Camp Blanding" structure brought over to this site in 1949 to be a family vacation lake house and had an addition built on to it in the 70's. It had been owned by the same family, passed down through the generations, until we purchased it in 2021. Although it has had a complete remodel, we tried to save as many of the original features as possible (original hard wood floors, door knobs, to name a few). This house will most definitely give you an old Florida feel while still experiencing all the comforts of modern living.

Why they chose this property
Check out our virtual tour on YouTube.
Search: "Virtual Tour 3/2 Airbnb on Lake Geneva in Keystone Heights, FL, made by ACSO Properties. (Not the efficiency… it’s sometimes the second one in the search) .
The video was created when we first listed the property, so it will give you a sense of the layout of the home, but it is missing some of the new amenities that we have added. I do update the images, so the pictures in the listing are accurate to date.
This lake house is the perfect family vacation spot. Our nephew (age 10) summed it up nicely... "Why do we need to go anywhere...all the fun is right here at the house."
You have private access to a piece of Lake Geneva, fishing poles are provided, lake toys and floats are there as well for beach and swimming time. There is fire pit for s'more making, a bench swing for relaxing, canoe for exploring the lake, sunroom for pleasant conversations or much needed naps, plenty of board games for the rainy days, a Wii, and Netflix for movie watching. There is a huge, fully-outfitted kitchen (we've tried to think of everything) for making that famous family favorite, or a grill on the back porch located right off the kitchen for easier meal preparation and a table for outside dining. Also, there is plenty of bird life for those avian enthusiasts!
