Lakefront Southern Charm with private dock

This Florida vacation home located on a beautiful lake in North Florida is just what you are looking for! Enjoy a relaxing and peaceful vacation away from it all. This 2800 square foot home is located on Cherry Lake, Madison County, Florida. Beautifully decorated with southern charm.

Enjoy the crystal clear waters of this spring-fed lake nestled in a very rural setting just two hours from Jacksonville, one hour from Tallahassee and just 30 minutes from Valdosta, GA. Cherry Lake is ideal for swimming, skiing, tubing, jet skis, and fishing. Large mouth bass and fresh water brim are plentiful in Cherry Lake.

Bring your boat and enjoy your favorite water sports. It is approximately a mile in diameter, almost a perfect circle in shape with a total of about 500 acres. This home has its own private dock. There are two bedrooms with a king-size bed in each, one upstairs and one down. The third bedroom has two queen beds and the fourth bedroom has two double beds, both located upstairs. There is an additional room with two twins off the downstairs bedroom, and a small room with one twin and a crib adjoining the upstairs bedroom. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you will need for large family meals. There is a Keurig and a drip coffee maker. Linens are provided.

In the evening enjoy a marshmallow roast or a campfire sing-along in the outdoor campfire area. Whether you're a golf enthusiast or an amateur, you will love our Golf Pong game. Putters and balls are provided. Fishing equipment is provided and there is no license required to fish from the dock. Get out on the water with the use of a kayak or paddle board provided for your fun and enjoyment. Life vests are also available for your use. For the young or the young at heart, a 50 foot rope swing is a thrilling good time for all. A huge yard provides space for yard games and plenty of space for the little ones to run around.

If theme park fun is what you are looking for, Wild Adventures is just 20 minutes away.

The facility itself was basically clean we did have to clean the refrigerator when we got there. Property could use curb appeal and paint on the inside and outside. Upstairs where the pool table was could use some blinds because the sun is very bright and hot in the area and there is dry rot in the window seal. Overall, all the rooms and bathrooms were clean and adequate space for all of us. Beautiful lake view and accessibility. We enjoyed our stay.

Memorial Day Weekend Fam & Friends

We had an absolute blast! The property was AMAZING! The pictures that are posted doesn't do the house, lake, property any of it justice. You have to see it to believe it. We went to the springs, the swimming hole on the lake, fishing, trail riding, decided not to go to wild adventures because there was so much to see an do in the area. We had a minor AC issue but the property owner corrected it and was completely attentive and got it taken care of immediately. .We will be back in the fall to do some more bass fishing!

Pictures do not do this place justice. We enjoyed a relaxing week. Quality time with family. Home is well equipped for lots of family and friends. Very kid and pet friendly. Kitchen ware, pot, pans, etc well stocked. The grill is clean and cooks evenly. The wrap around porch kept the grandchildren fully entertained. The lake is crystal clear. Nice little beach and playground around the lake. Owner is very responsive.

Family Getaway

This gorgeous home right on the lake was exactly as advertised and MORE. It was the perfect vacation for us and our two sons and their families (12 total). It was very clean inside, and well stocked. The kitchen had everything you need for cooking and feeding large groups. The beds were also very comfortable. The huge walk-in showers in the two master suites were really nice and a rare treat. The kids really enjoyed playing pool upstairs and loved fishing off the dock. My son brought his boat so they could tube and wake board. He was able to unload at the nice public boat ramp and tie up at the dock at the house with no problem. We had some awesome family game time around the huge dining table at night. An added bonus for us was to all gather on the dock and watch 4th of July fireworks all around the lake. The host was outstanding. She was very quick to respond to any questions or address any need we had. I would highly recommend this venue.
