Serendipity Lakehouse with dock, canoes and kayaks plus we are pet friendly!

FL is in a drought, water levels are 8ft + lower than normal. You can still enjoy fishing and kayaking on our direct waterway. Now this is a vibe you will love and you will be planning your next trip before you even finish your first. This is a perfect location for total relaxation and getting back to nature. Community boat ramp is right beside us so bring your boat and enjoy calling this place home during your stay. We have a private dock for fishing too! We have kayaks and canoes for your enjoyment. We are just a short drive to downtown Inverness and 30 minutes to Crystal River and Ocala.

King bed in one room and Queen bed with queen futon in the other room. Bathroom with 2 sinks and shower. Screened front porch facing the cove and sun room on the back facing the lake. Wood burning outdoor fire place, dining tables and lounge area to take it all in.

Come and explore the lakes, come and relax to the lake views, come and get back to nature!

Beautiful and cozy

Everything there was great. The kitchen had everything I needed for cooking, the beds were comfortable, all 3 TVs were smart TVs so we could watch neflix... We even had a little tree-frog visit us while we sat on the water-side bench. (Just came over to see what we were up to.) I will definitely consider staying there again.

PERFECT!

This is a perfect place for a "getaway". Everything you need is right there. The house is so beautifully furnished. It was so comfortable and homey. Televisions in both bedrooms and the living room. We only used one, but for those who have children or others with them, everyone can have their own TV. We fished off the bank and had a jon boat that we took out, also. Very, very nice! Can't say enough good things about this place.

Quiet & Private

Loved the location, dead end street, water around two sides of the house. We enjoyed sitting in the sunroom and watching the birds fly in to fish in the Cypress swamp across the water inlet beside the house. Accurate description no surprises.

This place is amazing! We had everything we could ask for and more here... We felt secluded and private even amongst the community! The paddle boat and conoe was also a big hit! The furniture was very comfortable and the memories made here was all cherishable! We can't wait to come back!
