We had family coming in for our son's graduation from the University of Florida and we rented this beautiful lake house for us all to be together. The home was very spacious allowing us all to be together without being on top of each other. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very large and had ample storage space. There were so many things to do including playing a game of pool, fishing, swimming, boating, trail walking, and even a bricked-in firepit. The home was very clean with updated appliances and finishes. The owners were very responsive when we had a question and we will be recommending this home to our friends who also have kids at UF.
The house was beautiful, better than I expected from the listing. It had been obviously renovated, and the bathrooms really are nice. The dock, and the lake were beautiful. We enjoyed using the fire pit. The kitchen was very well equipped, and I had no problem at all making an extensive Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen. There is a nice Winn-Dixie about 15 minutes away. There is an up-to-date, modern washer and dryer that worked beautifully. We would like to stay here again!
Had a great weekend, convenient location, and quiet! Great place for a weekend or longer, plenty to do, and a lot of fun. Well furnished and maintained.
We had 2 families enjoy this beautiful home. Some headed to the Gator Nationals and other enjoyed the lake and the sunshine!
Very nice home and we had a great time! Thank you
Had an awesome start to spring break 2023 in this beautiful home. Perfect for friend and family group. Very nice home and location. Would definitely stay here again!
Loved the house and lake setting. Made lots of memories! Would most definitely go back! And loved sitting on the back porch swinging in the two swings, very peaceful!
The house seemed even larger than the impression I got from the listing. Property is right on the lake and has everything you need to have a wonderful vacation. Owner was quick to reply to questions and requests.
This house is immaculate, spacious, and has everything you need to enjoy a vacation with family. It is nestled in the woods and has a gorgeous view of the lake. The house body multiple areas to spend time with family; pool table, cozy leather sectional, big kitchen, deck out front, and my favorite…that back porch! My only issue is the photos show 11 beds and their occupancy is limited to 8. I understand why they limit their occupancy (otherwise you could host a wedding at this beautiful location and is is in a neighborhood), but this should be the first line of information in the description, not the last. To be fair, the owner contacted me within days of booking to verify I new the occupancy limit and was more attentive to my questions/issues then the management company. If you are looking for a family friendly place to vacation, this is it! We will be staying here again when we visit Gainesville!
We came in for our daughters baptism at Greenhouse Church in Gainesville, FL. The home was very clean upon arrival and the fireplace was even lit to set a nice ambiance. The home was perfectly stoked and we had everything we needed and more. The beds and bedding were comfortable. The homeowners really made you feel welcome! We enjoyed using the canoe very much! Our family had a great time together! I would recommend this home to anyone and would love to come back! Thank you so much for a great stay! We will definitely use Evolve again and recommend this home!
