About this house rental
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!!!

Many years staying here. Always fun. Lots of room. Lake and boating were great as always. Only a few boats were out all week so made great skiing for the kids. Very well furnished kitchen. Had everything you need. Great for family to come together.

My family likes to get together once a year. We love Cherry Lake. The home was perfect for us. Plenty of room and amenities. I loved sitting on the porch and looking at the lake.

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..

The wrap around porch is wonderful and such a beautiful view of the lake!!! Everything you will ever need is in this house! It was a great getaway!!! Neighbor was so quiet and so much fun watching the boats!!

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!

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!

I booked this beautiful home for 3 nights for us and our wedding party to stay in, and it was absolutely perfect! Not only was it gorgeous, it had space for everyone and was well stocked with everything we needed. I'd love to stay here 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!

This house has lots of room, the kitchen is nice. The lake is beautiful you need a boat to really enjoy it. We visited Blue Springs State Park while in the area loved it. Look forward to next year.

This lakefront home is beautiful with the wrap around porch and plenty of room inside. The views are spectacular. Sitting right on Cherry Lake was so relaxing. Great stay and will book again.

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 !!

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.

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.

Truly a Southern Charm
A wonderful place for a family gathering. Beautiful Lake view and access. More than ample room. Santa found us with no problem at all. Be aware, the large smoker grill is not there but a campfire ring and grate held our pork butts and ribs just fine.

Rental Review- Awesome Home Experience
This property was amazing. We enjoyed everything for our large family who was there for a wedding and wanted to all be together. The kitchen was great for large family dinners, the pool table was fun for the teens and being on the water was perfect for water sports and evenings on the lake. We enjoyed our stay very much. The owner was amazing at helping us with the check in and out process and accommodating a few special requests so that we could meet timelines coinciding with the wedding plans. We were extremely appreciative. I highly recommend this beautiful home for family events.

Lake house
This house has just about everything you family will need. We thoroughly enjoyed the house. We found it very clean and lots of space inside. There was only 5 of us, but the house can fit a lot more. Very quiet and a good view of the lake. The only thing I can complain about is having to wash towels and put them back. If you are leaving early in the AM, it makes it hard to do. I still give this place 5 STARS! Contacting the owner was easy enough, and she always replied. We would definitely stay again. Thank you.

Fabulous weekend stay!
We had a fabulous weekend! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and the home had plenty of room! The dock was easy to access with our boat and in good condition. The kids had a blast on the water pad. The only thing could have been better was the gas grill. The covers were off of the burners and it was not easy to control the flame or temp, but we got our steaks done! I would highly recommend staying! We can't wait to go again!!! Thank you for a wonderful stay!!

Responsive Hosts and Wonderful Time
The property was excellent for a family vacation, Cherry Lake was a lot of fun for the family and the large property made it excellent for a family outing because while everyone was together there was also space for privacy.
Tina is an outstanding host and very responsive to guest needs. The only reason they get a five star rating is because there are no six star ratings. Will definitely stay here again

Family Reunion
Pros:
The location is fantastic for privacy with great lake views. The boardwalk to the dock area was very convenient. Weather did not allow for us to use the tandem kayak, but I’m sure it will be very popular. The interior of the house was spacious. We had 3 couples and there was plenty of space for all of us with separate bedrooms and full baths. There were bonus sleeping rooms if you needed extra beds for more guests. The common areas and kitchen offered good space for larger groups. The large dining table that seated 8 people was convenient. The bonus room with a pool table upstairs was a nice feature. Baths were spacious with very large showers. There was plenty of furniture to offer storage for extended stays, but most furniture is showing it’s age and could use an update. Kitchen was stocked well for limited meal planning. We drove into Madison (12 miles) each evening for dinner meals and enjoyed several local eateries with good food. The interior of the house was clean. There are several TVs in the house, but we never got any to work. An instruction sheet on how to access video would have been helpful. WiFi was available with a good signal strength throughout the house.
Cons:
While the house is in a beautiful location, the exterior needs a good power wash. We were not able to use the spacious porch area since most of the porch furniture was covered with dirt and mildew. The lack of ongoing exterior maintenance is apparent with numerous broken railings and damage to wood steps. There were several outdoor furniture pieces on the lake dock, but many had broken vinyl strapping that prevented use.
Recap:
I have stayed in several Airbnb and VRBO properties and this was a difficult review to write. This property is in a beautiful private setting with the added bonus of the lake views and access. That in itself is a good reason to consider this rental. However, the lack of exterior maintenance definitely lowered the overall satisfaction and should be considered as you make your rental choice.

The property is fantastic! Water is beautiful. There was a lot of noise while we were there, as there was a house being built and trees being cut down. Hoping it will be more peaceful next time we go!! Overall, I definitely recommend!
