Orange Springs, Florida
Totally charming and well-maintained, this cozy cottage is in a wonderful lakefront setting with 300 feet of shoreline outside your door. With a substantial dock, clean beach, and a concrete boat ramp, you can enjoy this spring-fed natural lake.
The cottage's interior boasts hand-finished tongue and groove pine paneling, and every room has a view of Miles Kale Lake!! A breezy screened porch overlooks this special place as well. This sand-bottom lake is clean and wonderful for fishing, swimming, and boating. Our whole family learned to ski here.
Exactly half-way between Ocala and Gainesville, you can be in either city or Palatka in 30 minutes for dining, shopping, entertainment, cultural events, or health care. Or, drive 55 minutes to Daytona Beach, or less than 2 hours to Disney attractions. This serene setting is for those who like to be close to nature with the advantages of cities nearby.
Great summertime place for the family - you commute to Gainesville or Ocala or P
Fantastic winter haven from the frigid north!! Wonderful Central Florida retreat for retired couples or family who are sick of go-go attractions.
Centrally located: this wonderful lake home is centrally located between Ocala, Gainesville, and Palatka, Florida. it is one mile from the intersection of Marion County Roads 318 and 315.
OTHER OPTIONS: I have two other homeawayc.om lakefront properties: Listing/property ID 127321 on the acre next door and Listing/property ID 910353 on the next lake over. Both of these listings are larger homes with many fine amenities as well. All 3 are close in case you wish to have a large group or family reunion.
Beautiful area, quiet and great spot to relax with our dogs.
We rented both homes as a small wedding venue. The online photos do not do this property justice. Absolutely beautiful, the 2 cabins were great for a bride’s cabin and a groom’s cabin. Both cabins were very clean and well stocked. Will be delighted to rent again for a family getaway!
This was my fourth stay at Ed's property. The setting and surroundings are beautiful and the property is always clean and well-maintained. Ed is a great, communicative host. I'll be back again!
I almost don’t want to review this property because I love it so much. It’s so peaceful and QUIET out there. The water is clear, my husband loves it, the grands love it, & my dog loves it. The house is clean, the yard is kept. The only negative is the beds are hard and the living room furniture is not the same as pictured and isn’t very comfortable, but we’re outside the majority of the time anyway. We’ve already booked another week.
Nice quite place to stay and enjoy nature, we observed turtles, bald eagles, red backed hawks and something I never saw before sandhill cranes.
We have stayed here before and were very satisfied the first time hence we decided to come back. Unfortunately in one year things have changed: there was no toilet paper, no dish detergent or sponge, unclean areas on the edge of walls and under furnitures, but the most inconvenient was the lack of wifi. Although the listing says that wifi is available that is false. The wifi belongs to the house next to it (which is in the same property) and the connection was very poor to none. Considering that this area is known for poor cell phone coverage, we heavily depended on wifi for communication. Had we known about it, we would not have come. It was a huge inconvenience for us specially because we were restrained from using any of our devices (including computer work matters) unless we physically walked outside the cabin to be closer to the other house.
This is our second time at this cottage. It is comfortable and picturesque. We enjoy it as a base for hiking and kayaking in the forest. Be aware that there is another rental property on the same plot and if it is occupied, it is rather close quarters.
As advertised - a nice relaxing break in a well-maintained, cozy cottage.
The pictures of the lake do not capture the magical and serene feeling of being at this cabin. So very romantic and quiet, surrounded by natural beauty. Had a little issue with the new internet box being installed right before we arrived but the host was easy to get in touch with. We will definitely be booking this again in the near future!!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful and relaxing property with us.
Loved it, my kids are asking when we are going back. Owner and property manager are very responsive! Great experience all around!
The two homes were very nice and the lake was enjoyable. The grandkids enjoyed swimming, boating & fishing while the adults could sit back and enjoy.
Perfect property for a couple families to enjoy the lake, we had a great weekend!
It's a great place! The cabin has everything, so many windows, so much peace and quiet. We didn't want to leave! Hopefully we can make it a yearly trip!
Charming Brown Cabin beautiful view of the lake, serenity at its best. Time to unwind from all of the hustle and bustle of everyday life. My finance caught his biggest fish yet at this lake. Build a fire at the pit and roast some marshmallows, grill and relax. Such a wonderful weekend!
Nice place to stay
