- "Great place to stay for quiet evenings! " - "Cross creek still has the flavor of Old Florida. My wife and I went there for our 25th anniversary and were not disappointed. We visited Payne's Prairie State Park and were able to observe the wild Cracker ponies through binoculars from the observation tower. The property has a boat ramp into Cross Creek which I believe connects to Orange Lake and Lake Lochloosa. I would bring a boat if I were staying longer. We brought our two Labrador retrievers that travel with us everywhere. We would have liked to try the Yearling Restaurant but it was closed for sub kitchen floor plumbing repairs. The owner of the property was very friendly and even with the stress of repairs in progress, he gave us a tour of the restaurant and shared it's history. We intended to visit the home of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings who wrote the book "The Yearling" but only got to drive by due to time constraints. We also drove through historic Micanopy and both the commercial and housing districts had a charming appeal and several antique shops. We will likely revisit and try to take advantage of everything the area has to offer. We will stay in the "Yearling Cabins". "

- "This property is beautiful. The host is responsive and attentive, ensure our check in was smooth and our stay was pleasant." - "Great house, very comfortable!" - "We had such a great time at this house. We stayed with multiple families and kids of all ages. The house is huge and had plenty of space for everyone. And was very kid-friendly. Everyone enjoyed fishing off the dock. The boat ramp worked to launch our 18 foot center console. The lake is beautiful and many hours were spent on the porch just looking at it. And sitting atound the fire pit. We visited in winter so no swimming but would love to do a summer trip so we can jump in the lake. The house is not fancy, but the beds were comfy and loved that there were plenty of rooms for everyone. The kitchen is well-stocked but we had to go out and buy paper towels and toilet paper after the initial stock ran out. We will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you!"

All the amenities were exactly as described. The property manager Greg reached out several times to make sure we were comfortable. I think the only drawback was the sulfurous (smelly) well water, but that's normal for Florida and there's an RO system for drinking water in the kitchen. We enjoyed the tetherball and ping pong. And took out the boats everyday to paddle around this quiet lake. The pinball machines and video games went over well, especially with our 7 year old. It was a quiet, remote location that gave us the chance to disconnect and unwind. We would love to stay here again."

Welcome to Monkey Business – your private lakefront escape just 30 minutes from Gainesville! Nestled in the quiet charm of Hawthorne, FL, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath retreat is the perfect getaway for families, couples, or friends looking to relax, explore, and enjoy the best of outdoor living.
Monkey Business gets its name from the whimsical topiary monkeys hanging from the trees, just one of the many charming and playful details that make this place unforgettable.

Bring your own boat and take advantage of the boat lift at the dock, or enjoy our inclusive fleet of lake toys: a floating pad, stand-up paddleboard, pedal boat, kayak, canoe, beach floats, and toys - everything you need for an amazing day on the water.
Spend your evenings unwinding in the private hot tub or enjoying a peaceful sunset from the dock. After a full day of swimming, paddling, or fishing, rinse off in the outdoor shower and gather with loved ones on the porch or around the spacious living area.
Inside, you'll find two cozy queen beds, one full bed, and an air mattress with ample space to set it up in the living room. Central heating and air conditioning ensure year-round comfort, and both bathrooms are fully stocked with essentials (including hair dryers). Cook up something delicious in the fully equipped kitchen or wind down with games and conversation in the open living space.
Whether you're lounging by the water, exploring local trails and springs, or simply enjoying the serenity of nature, Monkey Business offers the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility, just close enough to Gainesville (and UF) while still feeling like your own private world.
For your security, the property is equipped with exterior cameras. These are located at the front door, side yard, backyard (not porch), and garage area. No cameras are inside or in private spaces.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
1. Old mobile home – there is a VACANT old rickety mobile home located on the property behind the RV. It will not interfere with your stay but do not enter this mobile home.
2. ***IMPORTANT*** Water heater – turn-on water heater 15 min before showering and turn off immediately after for safety and to ensure the gas does not run out.
3. ***IMPORTANT*** Do not use water pump or slide-outs.
4. ***IMPORTANT*** Toilets – This RV is hooked up to plumbing and electricity, creating an easy and fun camping experience. However, don't put hygiene products in toilets as could clog RV toilet. Please understand when booking an RV, toilets require MINOR maintenance every 1-2 days. As such, drain the four sewage / wastewater (black, gray, galley) tanks every 1-2 days by pulling the 4 levers to release the sewage/ wastewater (do sewage/black before gray/galley tanks). Not to worry, you won't be getting your hands dirty. These levers are right under the RV, with 1 on one side and the other three on the other side. This is just routine RV maintenance to ensure no problems occur during your stay! It's easy and good to learn if you've never done it! Note: If shower / sink starts to fill up, it means gray tank is full and needs to be emptied.
4. Oven - To operate oven, push in & rotate oven knob to light position & hold while lighting burner w/ lighter. Continue to push & hold for 5 seconds after pilot is lit. Adjust flame to desired level. A picture of of this is provided in the hard copy instructions on the kitchen counter. You can also see detailed instructions in this oven user manual here:
https://forestriverinc.help/#/forestriverrv/guide/2023/2777-sabre/browse/component-manuals/Appliances/content/publication-16-en_us-multiple-709486
5. Lake – do not swim in the lake as there may be alligators. It is Florida. ***IMPORTANT*** Lake Fanny / Vause: To get to big/deep part of Lake Fanny/Vause, once you are on the water in your kayak/canoe/boat, go to the left about 100 yards until you see a saw grass "land bridge." In about the middle of this saw grass land bridge, there is a 3ft wide gap in the saw grass that allows you to enter. Look for white PVC pipe marking this entry point to Lake Fanny / Vause. See last picture of photos for map of entry point.
6. Kayaking, canoeing – adults only for unsupervised kayaking or access to or near the lake. Always wear life jackets on the water. As a courtesy, we have provided some life jackets, fishing gear, and supplies located in the outside compartment on the right side of the RV.
7. Boating – do not use the motor boat that is on back of property.
8. ***IMPORTANT*** Mosquitos / Ticks - There may be mosquitos and ticks, particularly during the warmer months. Spray is usually provided in the RV outside compartment, right of main door. Spray accordingly and wear appropriate attire (long sleeve pants). Check your body for ticks nightly.
9. ***IMPORTANT*** Fires and fire pit – firewood may occasionally be provided behind RV. Keep fires in the fire pit, small, and away from RV and vehicles. Keep water and fire extinguisher ready. Do not leave fire going over night. Always put out the fire before you leave the fire pit, go to bed, and depart the property. Lighters, bug spray, and chairs are in outside compartment, right of main door.
