Lakefront southern charm in beautiful quite area

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. Cherry Lake is ideal for swimming, skiing, tubing, jet skis, and fishing. Large mouth bass and fresh water trout are plentiful in Cherry Lake.

The lake is ideal for water sports as well. 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. The third bedroom has two queen beds and the fourth bedroom has two double beds. There is an additional room with two twins and a small room with one twin. In the evening enjoy a marshmallow roast or a campfire sing-along in the outdoor campfire area.

If theme park fun is what you are looking for, Wild Adventures is just 20 minutes away. This has got to be North Florida and South Georgia's best-kept secret. No long lines and something to do for the entire family, at a great value. With a variety of roller-coasters, shows and wildlife.

Wild Adventures is a theme park where you can really get the most for your money. Wild Adventures also has a new water park, which promises to deliver some relief to those hot summer days in the South. End your evening with a fireworks and laser show that will thrill the whole family. Jump in your car and you are back at the lake house in just 20 minutes!!!

A Touch of Southern Paradise
This lake house is beautiful in itself - both inside and out - and then you add the gorgeous surroundings and serenity that the property offers around the house and you have the recipe for a heavenly, relaxing and romantic escape from the hustle and bustle of the chaotic world around you. As advertised, the sunsets were extraordinary and the night sky away from the city reveals a billion stars which are also reflected in the lake on calm evenings. Come prepared as this somewhat remote slice of paradise is a 15 minute drive from the nearest restaurant or grocery store and pickings are slim..

Family get-together
We've stayed at quite a few VRBOs and this is definitely in our top 3. The house is absolutely beautiful with the view of the lake and cypress trees. We live in SWFL and my sister in law lives in Pensacola so we wanted to meet halfway to get the family together. We had 7 adults and 7 kids and it was plenty big. Kids between ages 1-13 and they all had a blast. The rope swing is so much fun, there's a little playground, and a pool table upstairs. We brought fishing poles, cornhole, horseshoes, and board games. The yard is huge. No luck fishing lol and it rained one of the days, but our last night there the sunset was BEAUTIFUL! Owners were very responsive, place was clean, quite a few extra blankets, and the kitchen was fully stocked with cookware/utensils/coffee pot/Keurig/crockpot, etc. And there's a gas grill on the porch. Highly recommend!

Perfect location for a women's retreat
I hosted a women's retreat here and it was absolutely perfect. The area is extremely quiet and peaceful. There is plenty of room to spread out to have quiet alone time or to gather together as a group and sit for learning sessions. Every single one of the women who attended loved the place and we all voted to come back again!

Nice place, beautiful view, great porch, plenty of beds. Only negative was that there was hair in the master bed when we arrived. Other beds seemed ok. Otherwise the place was very clean and well maintained. Sunsets were spectacular!

Great Mother's Day Weekend
The house is amazing, plenty of room for all 11 of us to enjoy and spread out. Kitchen is spacious enough for several ppl to gather and help with cooking. We forgot a few spices, but the kitchen was well equipped with just what we needed. I could see us staying longer next time around. Plenty of room for parking our 4 cars. We borrowed the kayak on the property and brought 3 more with us. The water is beautiful, just wished the dock had a better way of launching and retrieving the kayaks but the men made do. The kids loved the tree swing and all of the adults enjoyed a cool drink on the wrap around porch. All A's from my family and I except for garbage collection. There is only one large can outside and with 11 of us it filled up quickly. I would recommend a 2nd can as by the time we went to the garbage dump on Saturday it was closed as we didn't realize what time it was. So, we brought the over- flow of garbage back home with us. ( No biggie) but just a recommendation. Not sure if the kitchen faucet was ever mentioned in a previous review but the handle kept falling off, but we just kept reattaching it, lol. Thank You for opening your beautiful home so that others can enjoy as we definitely did !!

FSU Graduation
Super clean and tons of room for our party of 13. It’s about an hour from Tallahassee - easy drive for graduation or any other event. It had EVERYTHING we needed as far as any imaginable kitchen tool, linens, etc. We were concerned with stairs as two of our party are elderly. Photo is back of house. Easy access in front. Would definitely stay in this place again. Enjoyed sitting on back porch and relaxing, fishing etc.

Great for Big Families or Multiple Families
We met friends here (both of us have young kids). The house was perfect for multiple families, young kids and even infants (they had a crib in a room connected to one of the masters). The listing actually does not do the house justice, as it has way more space than you realize. Very pleased with the host as well. Great communication!

Valdosta State graduation celebration
We had a fantastic long weekend at the property celebrating my daughters college graduation. The house was large enough for us to have our whole family, ages 9 mos to 80 years. The interior of the house was great. The beds and bedrooms and bathrooms were fantastic. The kitchen was also great for what we were doing. The only disappointment was the furniture on the outdoor porch and the propane grill. All the surfaces outside were very dirty and had to be cleaned before our guests arrived. The propane grill had to be cleaned as well. But the worst part about the grill was that the burners were rusted so bad that it was difficult to cook on and manage temperature. Our main celebration involved grilling and if I had known the condition of the grill I would have done something different.
