Located in Salt Springs in the Ocala National Forest, this renovated 2 bedroom / 1 bath home is set on nearly a half-acre of beautiful lakefront yard. Enjoy the view from the amazing, oversized porch, relax on the hammock, or have fun roasting marshmallows in the firepit. You'll also enjoy the area's many activities such as fishing, swimming in the lake or nearby springs, hiking, or trail riding.
You are welcome to bring your boat, and there is a public boat launch nearby. However, please understand that there is not a private dock available onsite. There is a community shared dock very closely located within walking distance, but it is quite high during low water times and can be a little challenging for entering and exiting a boat. You are welcome to beach your boat at the shoreline for easier access getting in and out. We allow a maximum of two watercraft to be there. Please be respectful of the neighbors and understand that their dock and floating platform are not ours and not for guest use.
If you have a larger group, we also have a second 2 bedroom / 1 bath home that also sleeps 4 located adjacent to this one. The second house is only available when renting both houses together, so there will be no one renting it if you rent the single house in this listing. You can go to https://www.vrbo.com/4053769 to rent both houses together.
We have security cameras with sound monitoring located on the exterior of the home for the safety of our property and our guests. No smoking or vaping inside and no pets of any kind, please.
Unfortunately, due to problems we've had with large groups, we must insist that there can be no visitors over the number of people that you have on the reservation. If it is found that you have additional visitors (the neighbors call), you will be required to immediately leave the property. There are areas nearby that are better suited to large group parties such as Moorhead Park or the Salt Springs Recreation Area.
Thank you, and we look forward to having you!

Total privacy, including no contact self check-in, at this immaculate, secluded lake front home. Enjoy nature at its finest at this waterfront cabin! Entertain all of your lakeside desires in the crystal clear waters of Lake Kerr in Salt Springs, FL! Bring your boats (put in at Moorhead Boat Ramp) and your floats and your fishing poles too or enjoy the 4 single kayaks provided for your use!
There's so much to do in and around the Ocala National Forest! A favorite is to boat (by paddle or motor) Salt Springs Run, which comes from Salt Springs. The spring flows 52 million gallons per day and is a constant 72 degrees year round. The water is beautifully clear and the bottom is white sand. If you don’t have a boat, you may rent one at Salt Springs Marina, or just swim the springs at Salt Springs Recreation Area, just 2 miles from the cabin!
You may also choose to never leave the cabin with beautiful Lake Kerr steps away from the cabin doors. Enjoy long afternoons and evenings on the expansive patio with fire pit overlooking the lake or indulge yourself in the Hot Springs Grande hot tub on the deck. Commune with nature in our outdoor shower. Inside you'll find hardwood floors and granite countertops along with all the comforts of home. Enjoy your favorite shows on the new 60" television and sleep well in the ultra comfortable bedrooms. The lakeside bedroom features a king bed and the second bedroom has 2 queen beds to maximize guest sleeping! The well equipped kitchen with the open lake views makes "kitchen duty" a pleasure.
Come, relax and stay awhile at this lakeside retreat!

Wonderful waterfront view, with Canal access to Lake Kerr. The property sits on a ¼ acre with large windows offering nice views of the water and sunsets. Deer, otter, and a variety of birdlife, including Sandhill cranes and hummingbirds are often visible. Recreational activities may include hiking, fishing, canoeing, boating and water skiing. Lake Kerr covers 2,830 acres of deep water roughly 2 miles by a mile wide. Shoreline unblemished by developers abounds.
The home is cozy, and comfortable. Sleeping arrangements include a bed and futon upstairs, or convertible couches downstairs. The kitchen is well equipped including a microwave and dish washer. Central air/heat keeps you comfortable, whatever the season. An upstairs balcony overlooks the lake and various board games are provided to fill in-between outdoor activities.
It’s a great weekend getaway within a few hours of Disney/Orlando, Tampa and Jacksonville! You can visit Historic St. Augustine, Daytona Beach, or attend a UF Gator game, all about an hour’s drive or, simply enjoy the forest, the quiet, the wildlife, and natural springs.
Salt Springs is nestled in the center of Ocala National Forest off SR 19, just West of Lake George, Florida’s 2nd largest lake. This is the area that inspired Marjorie Rawlings to write The Yearling, an academy award winning story about a boy who befriends an abandoned fawn.
Salt Springs offers two small restaurants, bait shop, grocery store, ice cream stand, Dollar General, and a Subway at the gas station. Palatka and Silver Springs are about 20-30 minutes away for shopping and golf. Nearby Mount Dora is a noted haven for artists and antique shops are salted around the community as well. Most weekends feature a flea market offering various regional souvenirs and goods.
Salt Springs is a great place, friendly people, easy to get to know!

Loved the fresh eggs and the book detailing the history and building of the cabin. The location is just far enough from everything to be rural (i.e. quiet!) but only 10- 20 minutes from everything (Villages, Opry, Silver springs, etc). Plenty to do in the local area. We loved the screened in porch, perfect for morning coffee."

We are offering a quiet space overlooking our main pasture and pond nestled under Oak trees. Our 20 acre farm is surrounded by mature Oaks giving it a secluded feel and is fully fenced for privacy and safety.
We provide a double bed, basic kitchen amenities, a half bath, and an outdoor shower. If you want more sleeping space feel free to pitch a tent or message me about bringing in a trailer.
We live just across the pond and are available when needed and meet each guest upon arrival.
Morriston is located Levy county, lovingly nicknamed the "Nature Coast" in Florida. Lots to do near by! Some of our favorites are snorkeling at Devils Den, Kayaking down Rainbow River, and meeting up with friends and family at Blue Springs.
Looking forward to hosting fellow adventurers!

Work and just daily grind had reached a point where I needed some time away from everything and simply enjoy the forest and time walking trails with my dog Kona. The location is absolutely fantastic! Great fenced in lot with lots of room for Kona to explore within the fence then the trails surrounding the property. Slept like a baby. The accommodations were perfect for my needs and enjoyed the evenings at the fire pit cooking dinner.

This is a wonderful little cabin to relax and spend some time making memories with your kids. One bedroom with a Queen. Extra Queen size air mattress that can be setup in the living room.
- "The property we had stayed at right on the lake was breathtaking and had brought me back to my childhood being from Upstate NY when my paternal side of the family had a couple homes up in the wildness with one being right on the lake. I love being its Florida that the cabin had alot of the North cabin vibes and atmosphere with the furniture and the texture of the walls. My little family and I enjoyed our stay and the people around the cabin are soo wonderful and friendly. I would recommend this beautiful cabin for a getaway with family! "
