The owners are very welcoming and communication was excellent. The house is nice and secluded with an amazing dock but close to both Melrose and Keystone Heights. The house and property have plenty of room for larger groups to spread out. Thank you Maggie and Micah!!! ##### christy c. Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeffrey S. Oct 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great get away at the lake. The house is very spacious and has everything you need. It is very quit and we docked the boat a few hundred feet from the house. Santa Fe Lake is a beautiful Lake for fishing and boating. A nice deck on the back of the house has many types of grills, smokers, and coolers. The host met us at the beginning to show us around and were available for anything we might need. Other than that, we were left to do as we please. Very nice people. We will definitely come back for more relaxation. ##### Jeffrey S.
