The cottage is an exceptionally clean home with satillo tile floors downstairs, and solid oak floors upstairs. Twelve feet of french doors face the lake for a beautiful view, and the first floor has a 9 ft ceiling. This 1040 sq ft cottage is secluded and comes fully furnished. Kitchen has stainless appliances and black marble tiled countertops and bar, with 4 bar stools. PlantationShutters cover the windows. Very comfortable plush king bed upstairs. Master bath has travertine floor, and a walk in tiled shower with dark emperador marble. Beautiful Tiffany-style lighting over the bar and over the sink as well as a chandelier over the dining table adds to the ambiance. Open living area on first floor which includes a queen sofa bed, washer and dryer, and a small desk. Facing the lake, is a beautiful screened & covered pergola over patio with a beautiful and comfy swingbed. Flat screen HDTV DVR with satellite on first floor and flat screen TV with satellite DVR connection and DVD player in bedroom. AT&T Fixed Wireless for 250GB wifi throughout cottage. Vaulted ceiling in stairway with solid oak stairs.
The lake is spring fed and is good for fishing, canoeing and Kayaking. Unlike some lakes in the North Central FL area, this lake is at normal/average water level, and averages as much as 25+ ft deep. Please, no gas motors in order to preserve the lake pristine. There is no boat ramp on this property because boats larger than a jon boat or canoe are not allowed, and again, gas motors are not allowed. The cottage comes equipped with 2 kayaks, peddle boat, canoe, jon boat, and several used bicycles, and bicycle helmets. Lakeside near waters edge there is a 10x10 screened gazebo, and a firepit near the water, lawn chairs as well as 2 very nice cushioned lounge chairs. One large umbrella on dock. There is a newer dock that is approximately 80 ft. long above water at all times, plus an additional dock extending it out another 50+ feet depending on water level. It is sometimes under water.
I receive many compliments on how the cottage is 'just like home' being very well appointed with furnishings that are consistent with home and is not only clean, but smells clean. The cottage is meticulously cleaned after each guest.
*COVID-19 Cleaning Procedures: We take the cleaning of the cottage very seriously and want to provide our guests with a safe environment.

Community Information
This lake is situated in a community of 3 lakes. The lake properties are heavily wooded and mostly secluded. There is an abundance of oak tree's, many 'dripping' with spanish moss. It is a 'golf cart community' and ideal for riding bicycles or walking/jogging. There are a number of wild animals and birds in the area, and seeing eagles fishing in the lakes is a common sight. Eagles, ospreys, hawks, swallow-tailed kite birds, and turkeys are abundant, deer, sand hill cranes, and fox are all seen in the community. Looking out the window above the kitchen sink and surrounding the front entrance, is a beautiful English butterfly garden, which also attracts hummingbirds. (Hummingbirds are typically here between March and early September)
Thirty-five minutes from the University of Florida.
