Lake Front House with Covered Boat Dock, Great Fishing, Pets, internet, canoe

Rates listed for 2 people per night, additional people $15 per person per night. Pet fee is for up to 2 dogs, additional fee for extra pets

Relax in beautiful 1960 lakefront home located on the large Tsala Apopka Lake in Hernando, Florida. This home is professionally decorated in the cottage/shabby chic style and is warm, inviting and romantic. All of the home decor items and furniture are for sale from a home decor store, Velvet Cabbage! This is a quirky older home with lots of character. There are various levels inside the house, so if you have issues with steps, we would recommend looking at our other lakefront house in Floral City #66785

Enjoy stunning sunsets from the upper deck or patio overlooking the lake. There is a covered boat dock available for your boat or just fish off the dock and relax with the slow pace of Florida living.

Canoe, kayak and paddle boat available for use, adult over 18 must be on board.

This is part of the old Florida, which has natural springs and moss covered trees. Numerous natural spring parks are located less than 1 hour drive. Enjoy manatees, fishing and wildlife. It is absolutely beautiful. 29 minutes to Rainbow Springs and 20 minutes to Crystal River, Three Sisters Springs

Withlacoochee State Bicycle Trail is one mile from the house and covers 46 miles of Florida beauty.

The house is located one hour from Disney World and 1.5 hours from Tampa. It is close enough to the Florida attractions but away from the traffic and crowds. There are numerous golf courses located nearby and including some championship courses.

This is the perfect place for a week or a month. We offer weekly and monthly rental discount; escape the cold winter and come to Florida for much less than a hotel room.

This area is offering new and upcoming businesses of wineries and breweries that showcase local talent. Copp Winery and Brewery, Nine States Brewery, Whispering Oaks Winery, Lakeridge Winery, plus many more!

Pet friendly to pets who are not allowed on the furniture, please.

Really enjoyed the lake and the house, it really has that great cozy fish camp feel. It’s a quiet area even with the boats on the lake over the weekend, it feels like summer. Owner responded well to all questions and communication. The house was clean and comfortable. To top it off we got to see the bats at sunset leaving it’s house on the boat dock.

Relaxing lake house

Stayed for 7 days. Very relaxing, cozy, quiet place right on the lake. Perfect sunsets would definitely recommend and would stay again. Fun, simple activities around the towns and some good antiquing if you’re into that.

Beautiful Sunsets

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the lake house in Hernando. It's a bird watcher and fisherman's paradise. It was so relaxing. The sunsets were amazing and we enjoyed watching the bats come out of the bat house (on the dock) after sunset each evening. Highly recommend.

Excellent place to stay

We had a great week staying at this house! The listing was accurate with regards to the photos. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. The interior living room and kitchen was vintage (in a good sense), while there were upgrades of the fridge and appliances. Bathrooms were updated. Exterior was good, with the dock being a highlight. We enjoyed the swing on the dock and watching the sunset. It was so nice having the kayaks and paddle boat. Even though the area may seem isolated, there were a lot of varied activities to participate in, especially State forests and hiking trails. Beautiful beaches are about 30 minutes away. Overall it was exactly as pictured and highly recommended.

Quiet, relaxing location

This property was a quiet, relaxing place. The home is decorated with many repurposed antique pieces giving an informal homey atmosphere. If you enjoy boating/kayaking, you will especially enjoy this location. We enjoyed shopping in the local antique shops and visiting the local restaurants. The location is easy to find with a GPS, but be aware that the last section of the road is not paved and is narrow. (You might think you're on the wrong road if you aren't using a GPS.) However this did not cause any issue in getting in and out as the road only accesses a few homes and there is little traffic.

The place is adorable. So comfortable and everything you need to feel at home. We’ve already recommended it to several friends. The host is super friendly and we needed for nothing during our stay. We will most definitely be back! For sunset lovers… the best view. 😊

Kayaking and Biking at your Fingertips

This is a beautiful property on a lovely lake. The home is well-cared for with many personal touches which makes this place a real find! We brought our personal kayaks and bikes. We thoroughly enjoyed kayaking on the lake and using the Withlacoochee Bike Trail nearby.

16 Week Stay

The property was as advertised, old and a little quirky, but those are not negative. We really enjoyed the uniqueness of the house and property. Very nice back yard, perfect for our dog and looking out over the lake. We had a couple of issues that the owner took care of right away. I should also say the owners are wonderful folks to chat with about the house, or anything else. I met another couple who had previously rented this house and they really enjoyed it as well. I only gave 3 stars for cleanliness, I'll explain: The house just had a new roof put on as we rolled in. In fact, it was not quite completed. Due to the age of the house, dust fell down upon us until the first big rain. After that, not a issue. The house is on a well and the water does not have a great taste (It's Florida, and a well, it is what it is). I mention it because we purchased a Brita water filter/container for our drinking water. That made it drinkable. The location was PERFECT for our purposes, great access to bicycle riding, motorcycle riding and access to the gulf. If you stay out of Inverness during "rush hours", the traffic is great. That is rare in Florida! Not the crush of cars you get East and South. Would we come back? Yes, that is the best endorsement I can give.
