Thanksgiving on Lake Weir

Our week stay at the lake house was great. The house was roomy and well equipped with all we needed. The properties owners were friendly and easily accessible. They made sure to let us know if we needed anything to just reach out. They even brought us a serving platter for us to use on Thanksgiving for our turkey. The outdoor space is beautiful. We enjoyed the hammocks and witnessed some beautiful sunsets. Would definitely book again and recommend.

Comforts of Home

This was our 3rd year staying here! A week long vacation with family. It has all the comforts of home. Our days were spent on our boat, tubing, jet skiing, swimming & just relaxing on the screened porch. Already made reservations for next year! The owners were available if needed.

Perfect stay with GREAT views and a cozy feel!

We had a family of 10 stay for a week and couldn't have asked for a better place. The owners Whitney and Joe were super friendly and accommodating. The home was very cozy and we loved the large kitchen. The back porch was our favorite spot to sit and eat. The white beach with lots of space, and very well kept. We loved taking our boat to Eaton's beach and Gator Joe's. We can't wait to come back again!!

Beautiful home with plenty of room and comfortable beds. Big screened in back porch is just steps away from the beautiful sandy beach on gorgeous Lake Weir! Joe and Whitney were very kind, helpful, and friendly. The house has everything you need. Our family had a fantastic, relaxing week and hated to leave. We can’t wait to come back again!

Plenty of family fun!

We stayed for a week with 5 adults and 6 children, and we had plenty of space; the owners even brought over additional dining room seating as we were checking in. The screened porch was wonderful, and we even had room to host dinner for some other family members who were visiting the area for the same event. Our little ones loved the beach, and the teens loved the volleyball net and the paddle boat. We hope to stay again when the opportunity arises.
