Vacation rentals with a kayak in Marion County

Great stay for a mini family vacation! We truly enjoyed the stay. We hope to be back:)

The home is exactly as described in the listing: home was clean and came with all the boats and tubes for a fun time on the river! Lots of life jackets and goggles to use if you dont have your own. publix and walmart are a short drive in town about 10 min. The home is at the end of a small deadend couldesac with a rental on 1 side and an abandoned house on the other, beautiful nature drive, seems to be in a safe area, it was private. Plenty of space and beds, the home was clean (and we are picky) and everything was up to date not run down or worn out. Nearby fast food and "Swampys" on the water if thats what you like, but If you want quality food, drive about 30 minutes west to Inverness/Yankeetown and try Blackwater Grill, absolutely best food for you money. Being Florida natives, we didnt jump off the dock, too much grass and know what hides in the grass..we saw a huge snapping turtle in it with baby turtles near the dock. overall it was a great stay and we would come back! Thanks

Recommend if you want peace and quiet. I would stay again.

We had a wonderful stay. It was very clean, safe for toddlers, big enough for our whole family. I have no complaints. Host was very kind and quick to respond when I had questions.

This is a beautifully maintained lake house. The interior is clean and inviting... homey. The outside is beautiful Florida living. Love the screened on porch grill deck. Our boxers love the yard and the water. Thank you for a fantastic experience and a great place for us to relax, bring and enjoy our pups. Highly recommend this home!

Absolutely amazing ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ we stayed for 2 nights as we made our journey driving up to Montreal. My family did not want to leave 🤣 Amazing location and activities! Not only that but Laura’s communication was amazing (way before we arrived, during and after). She has so many little things that most Airbnbs don’t bother with or don’t think of, like beach towels, extras in the bathroom for convenience, batteries and honestly the list goes on and on! I thought this trip was super personalised and was a perfect get away for a family or couple. The neighbour was super friendly as well! Thank you Laura 😊

The house was perfect for my wife, two kids, and our small dog. Wi-Fi was easy to use, the view is beautiful. The pool is great, kitchen is solid. Only one word to others, and it’s not the fault of the owner: cell service there is not great. Apart from that, the place was just what we needed for a three day getaway to go hit rainbow river.

This is our second time staying here. Gloria is a great host and if needed, gets back to you quickly. Home is comfortable, well-equipped, and has a beautiful view of the prairie right from the living room windows, often seeing deer, turkeys, and a family of Sandhill Cranes. We spend a lot of our time birding and there are so many preserves nearby, including Paynes Prairie. One morning we saw the wild horses on Bolen Bluff Trail in Paynes Prairie. Birding dawn and dusk right on the property down by the prairie was always amazing. You can spend time visiting the antique stores in Micanopy, which is 3 minutes away. And of course, Pearl’s Bar-B-Que and lunch/ice cream at Coffee and Cream is a must. We plan to return!

I really loved this property.The natural uncut woods and down to earth feel is what I loved.Every thing we needed was provided.Great coffee maker and large selection of flavors.Great space inside. Good Wi-Fi provided. Lots of games to play.Everything was ready and waiting.Big plus for me Laurie is a veteran.

Very clean home with a great location I would highly recommend

Perfect get a way location on a peaceful lake. the place had everything we needed. great and responsive hosts. the place is very clean and awesome. Highly recommend if you want to relax and enjoy your time. Thank you

Just what we were looking for! Simple and clean with a beautiful lake view. Beds were comfy and we had plenty of space for the three of us. Would stay here again.

Karla's place is very nice. Very clean, the screened in porch was so nice and there are sliding glass doors where you can see the beauty outside. The lake, dock and everything outside were so beautiful. The thing I loved the most is it is so quiet there. We live on a noisy road so this was heaven. We met Karla as we were leaving, and she is so nice. Directions to the cottage were perfect, check in was easy. Very nice place when you have a dog as we were traveling with our Yorkie. You will love Karla's place!

Cute, quiet spot!

Enjoyed staying at this location. It was convenient and very nice and private. Very friendly host. Loved being able to put the boat in and fish all day. Would definitely stay again.

SUCH an amazing place to stay. Amazing breakfast with all homemade foods and things grown in their garden, viktoria was so kind and helpful. She made us feel so welcome and she had great recommendations as to how to spend our time! Very easy check in/check out, very peaceful and comfortable. And although it’s a guest house right next to their main home, it felt very private! Would 100% recommend!!! Was such a lovely trip for me and my boyfriend we are even hoping to come back eventually to stay with them again :) Also all the animals were so fun to watch and play with!

Leslie was very responsive. The setting is private and the covered deck on rainy days wonderful to relax on. Leslie provided much appreciated extras like healthier cooking pans, sharp knives, a cutting board, and a medicine kit which are not usually provided in my years of experience. A word of caution apparently regarding airbnb policy. Check for potential price changes on your reservation Even IF you are subtracting something!!! Because I didn’t end up taking my dog with (deleting the pet fee), it changed my reservation and a $142.20 increase (county tax fee) was added! 😱

Lisa was excellent host with an incredible cabin. We felt right at home and loved the peace and quiet being out in the woods. We enjoyed spending our day on the lake. The cabin backs up to a canal and is simply beautiful. If you want a peaceful retreat this is the place for you!

Very nice home, located within 20 minutes to the springs, hiking, and restaurants. We loved the seclusion, the home’s architecture, and the detached BBQ screened-in shelter. The large backyard is great for the activities they provide (cornhole, mini soccer, and tree swinging). We were there in the summer but the water level in the back was too shallow to launch the canoes but that’s no problem with tons of local kayaking options. The house is on a 12-minute drive dirt road that can be difficult to find at night. Also, the house does not have any cell reception but the house has ok WiFi speeds to stream movies and use FaceTime (voice); that’s the price to be in seclusion, peace, and nature. Check in and out were a breeze and the indoor amenities are nice. We recommend this home for a nice getaway.

Absolutely loved our stay here!

We were having a family reunion in Hog Valley and Juanita's cabin was perfect for us. There's a lock box at the front door with the keys so it was easy to get inside. The cabin was clean and comfortable. We weren't there much and when we were we enjoyed the peace and quiet. Juanita's cabin is true Hog Valley, Ocala National Forest experience so the road getting there is dirt and can be bumpy like most dirt roads are but it wasn't a big deal. The tables and chairs out front were comfortable and the perfect place for morning coffee. Nicholas, the host was friendly and helpful. Would I stay here again? Yes, absolutely!!
