Great Springbreak from our busy lives

Our two families were looking for some adventures and relaxation from our busy lives. This was a great place to do it. Kathy was a great hostess! We rented the pontoon boat on property for a couple days for our relaxation, and then we did ATV trails (brought our own ATVs) and zip lining for our adventure. We grilled on the deck, made s’mores and used the fire pit a couple of nights. The older kids loved the kayaks and playing volley ball at the house. So much to do on property and nearby. We had a great time! Thank you so much Kathy-it was definitely needed.

Spring Break Get Away

We stayed for summer break 2024. This gem was the perfect house for our gang. We brought our side by sides and rode in the early morning straight from the property and rented the host pontoon in the afternoon. Great mix of entertainment for our kids that ranged from 8-19 years old. The house was clean and comfortable and met all our needs. The kitchen was recently redone. Plenty of dishes, pot and pans and silverware for a large group. The weber grill on the patio was great for quick lunches. We loved our stay and hopefully be back again. Thanks Kathy (host) for the wonderful time.

Salt Springs Memorial Weekend trip

This was probably the best place we have stayed at down there! The house was basically perfect! We wish the back deck would have outside entrance but that's the only thing we can complain about. The kids loved seeing the pigs, playing volleyball and laying in the hammock! The owner Kathy was very nice! We will definitely be staying there when we come back again!

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Werner and Ed Wielgus

I'm a traveling healthcare professional from OH. I traveled to this area for work and fell in love with forest life! I loved it so much I decided to make this my home! I can't be happier to share this area with others to explore.

Why they chose this property

The house comfortably accommodates big/multi families and is handicap accessible. There are plenty of outdoor activities to stay busy or you can just sit on the deck or around the fire and watch the stars! We live nearby so we are available for any help/questions/concerns you may have or we can give you as much privacy as you would like.

What makes this property unique

My neighbors say that living in this area is like "old Florida", the way it used to be before the big tourism boom. The people are tremendous and the area is quiet and laid back. Your get all the benefits of the lake with the bonus of the beauty of the forest without the beach crowds..
