Lake View Retreat Loaded For Fun, with STUNNING Views! This private peninsula lakefront property isn’t just where you stay during your vacation, it IS your vacation! On-site fishing, boating, swimming, watersports, a game room, nearby restaurants and shopping, and absolutely gorgeous lake views. There is no end to the activities and fun already at this spacious home, and most everything you need for a great stay is already here. With lake on three sides you get both sunrise and sunset over the water. A private boat ramp, over-water dock with patio table, covered boat slip, kayaks, canoe, paddle boat, jon boat, tubes, water skis, knee board and wakeboard are all here for you to enjoy for free. Bring your own boat or watercraft if you like or rent our on-site hybrid deck boat. With four connected lakes there is lots to explore, plus you can visit the downtown area or a nearby restaurant by boat. This 5000 sq.ft. home is handicapped-accessible and has 5 bedrooms (three of them en-suites), 4 bathrooms plus 3 additional sleeping areas for up to 22 guests. All bedding is provided. Dual fireplaces, full laundry, a spacious family room with 270 degree lake views and a pool table, dart board, table-top suffleboard and wide-screen TV. There are board games, outdoor games and activities for kids all on site too. If you are bringing your dog(s) there is a huge shady fenced-in area lakeside where they can run freely. The kitchen is huge and comes with plenty of pots, pans, cups, mugs, dual coffee makers, double oven and Jenn-Air stove with built-in grill and griddle. Pretty much everything you need is there. An outdoor propane BBQ grill is also on site. The second-floor master suite is huge and French doors open up to the balcony overlooking the lake to the north and east. The sunrises there are often breathtaking! Enjoy your coffee up on the balcony or take the stairs down to the patio area. There is lots of lakeside seating, and evenings by the lakeside fire pit bring everyone together! There is a 20 ft hybrid deck boat available for rent with cushioned seating for 9-10\. Local attractions include the quaint downtown Inverness area with shopping, antiques, parks, restaurants and more. A 1/3 mile oval racetrack is in town, as well as the county fairgrounds with various events throughout the year. Airboat rides are nearby, scenic bike trail too just minutes from the property. Everything is within a 3-12 minute drive so although you have a tranquil spot on the lake, the entire town is conveniently close and easily accessible. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchenette - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 6 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 4 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Dock - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Computer monitor - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Wheelchair accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Billiards/pool table - Boat - Kayak - Water sports equipment - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 5,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![Smart TV, video games, table tennis](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107310000/107305800/107305793/13d47270.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming 3-bedroom 5 min from WEC Ocala - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 10 Exceptional 13 reviews CA $308 CA $795 total includes taxes & fees Dec 30 - Dec 31 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-30&endDate=2025-12-31&selected=107305793&PinnedHotelID=107305793&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age: 21 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Pets Pets allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees Welcoming dogs only 2 total (up to 50 lbs per pet) Note from host: Pet bowls are provided.

Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kit C. Sep 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Everything was as advertised or better. Mark was always available and very helpful. The house and property was well maintained. The only 1 small issue was the grass and weeds left on back patio and firepit area. As a resident of Florida I know that storms come up fast this time of year. the yard was well mowed before our arrival, but was not weeded and blown clean. I did bring it up to Mark, so he would be able to address it with his landscaper. Still a 5 star rental. Being able to use the deck boat on property was awesome. there is also a boat ramp on property which is seldom found. The town of Inverness is beautiful and everything is very close by. Next time we will plan a longer stay. Thank you for the great stay and beautiful memories!! ##### Kit C. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James Z.

The house had plenty of space for our big group and was well stocked with house hold items. We really enjoyed the views from the deck, using the fire pit at night and kayaking on the lake. The hosts were very attentive and answered any questions we had promptly. We would definitely stay here again! ##### James Z. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff D.

We grew up in Inverness and have been looking for a great place to stay when we come back to visit. It is one of the prettiest properties on the lake. It is set on a peninsula so we got to watch beautiful sunrises and sunsets. This house exceeded our expectations. The hosts thought of every detail inside and out. ##### Jeff D.
