Little slice of heaven

Great long weekend get away loved the sunrises and fishing in the morning. Property was very clean easy to get to. Owners are a sweet couple who are there if you need anything and very easy to talk to. The access to the water was perfect for unloading and loading your boat. Beautiful views of the lake sitting under the covered dock. Can’t wait to come back. Awesome place.

Wonderful few days in the Ocala National Forest

The cottage sits on Lake Kerr. The accommodations were very clean and comfy. You get a great view of the lake from the living room. My son and I enjoyed fishing for bass from the dock, and provided canoe. The cottage was in a great location for us to enjoy all the Ocala National forest had to offer. Tom and Diane were very helpful and their hospitality was top notch. We will definitely make a return trip

Beautiful view

Me and my wife loved that they had their own boat ramp and boat dock. So we could keep our boat docked and ready to take off whenever. We will probably use this spot every year for my family reunion.

Weekday getaway to paradise

I would like to thank Diane and Tom for Allowing us to stay at their piece of paradise. We stayed at the McDade cottage this visit, could not ask for more comfortable and peaceful accommodations. Time slows down on Lake Kerr you truly have time to relax. We hope we can come back soon! Thank you so much Tom and Ann Gold

LAKE KERR

THE LOCATION WAS GOOD BUT TOO MUCH MONEY FOR THE STAY. I FOUND A FILTHY OVEN, DIRTY FLOORS, DIRTY DISHES. THE PLACE NEEDS A DEEP CLEANING. I DIDN'T LIKE THAT THERE WERE OPEN WINDOWS IN THE LIVING AREA. IT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE OF THE VIEW BUT IT MADE ME FEEL UNEASY. NEEDS SOME KIND OF WINDOW DRESSING. WOULD NOT RETURN.

Great for a lake side weekend (or week)

Stayed here with my wife and two kids. We really enjoyed our 3-day weekend. Lots for kids and adults to do. Beach, swim, canoe, fish, hike, fire pit or just be lazy on the dock all day. Lake Kerr is very clean. And, If you're a boat owner, then even better! The cottage is on a compound of 3 buldings - 2 rental cottages (McDade and Jones) and the property owners residence. Each is spaced far enough apart so you feel as though you have your own space to hang out on the porch and still have your privacy. The hosts really are thoughtful and thorough to make sure your stay is enjoyable. One small critique I would make about the McDade listing (and this is just my opinion) is that while it does technically sleep 4. The futon pullout is not recommended for two adults but 2 adults and 2 children will work fine. However there is ample space if you brought and air mattress. I would be comfortable to recommend this vrbo to others and I would strongly considering coming back again.

Just what we needed-must come back

Already trying to plan time to come back! It was the perfect trip-just needed more time. The renovations are well done and the view can’t be beat. Diane and Tom are great hosts and even set us up a fire for s’mores. Our kids had a blast.

So peaceful

We were looking for a place to just unplug and enjoy the quiet surroundings. This was it. A beautiful lakeside cottage and the only noise is the sand cranes talking to each other. There is swimming and other (mostly water) activities nearby if you want and the local restaurant has great food.
