Lakefront southern charm in beautiful quiet area

This Florida vacation home located on a beautiful lake in North Florida is just what you are looking for! Enjoy a relaxing and peaceful vacation away from it all. This 2800 square foot home is located on Cherry Lake, Madison County, Florida. Beautifully decorated with southern charm.

Enjoy the crystal clear waters of this spring-fed lake nestled in a very rural setting just two hours from Jacksonville. Cherry Lake is ideal for swimming, skiing, tubing, jet skis, and fishing. Large mouth bass and fresh water trout are plentiful in Cherry Lake.

The lake is ideal for water sports as well. It is approximately a mile in diameter, almost a perfect circle in shape with a total of about 500 acres. This home has its own private dock. There are two bedrooms with a king-size bed in each. The third bedroom has two queen beds and the fourth bedroom has two double beds. There is an additional room with two twins and a small room with one twin. In the evening enjoy a marshmallow roast or a campfire sing-along in the outdoor campfire area.

If theme park fun is what you are looking for, Wild Adventures is just 20 minutes away. This has got to be North Florida and South Georgia's best-kept secret. No long lines and something to do for the entire family, at a great value. With a variety of roller-coasters, shows and wildlife.

Wild Adventures is a theme park where you can really get the most for your money. Wild Adventures also has a new water park, which promises to deliver some relief to those hot summer days in the South. End your evening with a fireworks and laser show that will thrill the whole family. Jump in your car and you are back at the lake house in just 20 minutes!!!

Perfect location for a women's retreat
I hosted a women's retreat here and it was absolutely perfect. The area is extremely quiet and peaceful. There is plenty of room to spread out to have quiet alone time or to gather together as a group and sit for learning sessions. Every single one of the women who attended loved the place and we all voted to come back again!

Would stay there again.
Nice place, beautiful view, great porch, plenty of beds. Only negative was that there was hair in the master bed when we arrived. Other beds seemed ok. Otherwise the place was very clean and well maintained. Sunsets were spectacular!

A Touch of Southern Paradise
This lake house is beautiful in itself - both inside and out - and then you add the gorgeous surroundings and serenity that the property offers around the house and you have the recipe for a heavenly, relaxing and romantic escape from the hustle and bustle of the chaotic world around you. As advertised, the sunsets were extraordinary and the night sky away from the city reveals a billion stars which are also reflected in the lake on calm evenings. Come prepared as this somewhat remote slice of paradise is a 15 minute drive from the nearest restaurant or grocery store and pickings are slim..

Peaceful place!
A nice place and enjoyed our stay. The place could use some more special cleaning. We spent a lot of time on the wonderful porch but it needs some good cleaning. And the outdoor open grill out front needed to be cleaned up some. But over all, we enjoyed the boating and relaxing.

The house is just as pictured on the website. There is no shortage on space. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of pots, pans and small appliances. There is plenty of seating inside and out.My grandkids really enjoyed the swing hanging from the tree. Overall its a wonderful place to make great memories.

Everything Family
Absolutely stunning house and great view of the Cherry Lake. This home is well equipped for a great time with family.....we enjoyed every moment of our Spring Break! The kids enjoyed the house more than Wild Adventures Theme Park. The host was very helpful when we got lost and with all the information we needed for the guys best fishing experience......we plan to make this a every year family trip!!!

Great for Big Families or Multiple Families
We met friends here (both of us have young kids). The house was perfect for multiple families, young kids and even infants (they had a crib in a room connected to one of the masters). The listing actually does not do the house justice, as it has way more space than you realize. Very pleased with the host as well. Great communication!

FSU Graduation
Super clean and tons of room for our party of 13. It’s about an hour from Tallahassee - easy drive for graduation or any other event. It had EVERYTHING we needed as far as any imaginable kitchen tool, linens, etc. We were concerned with stairs as two of our party are elderly. Photo is back of house. Easy access in front. Would definitely stay in this place again. Enjoyed sitting on back porch and relaxing, fishing etc.

Loved the Lake House on Cherry Lake
This is our first stay out the Lake House, but have rented the log cabin next door which is owned by Tina and her Husband. This home is beautiful, spacious and extremely comfortable. I would highly recommend this home to any family or other gathering as the inside and outside of the home is large enough to accommodate a nice large group. Renting both homes this year was especially fun and we were able to take advantage of both large yards. Lots of room for all the kids and adults to play. Thanks Tina for letting us stay at your homes.

We could not have picked a more PERFECT home and homeowner to rent from! This place is just heavenly - from the beautiful furnishings, cyprus trees, to all the amenities in the yard (campfire, dock, swing, raft, wrap-around porch). The Radloffs are such gracious and accomodating hosts and you can tell by the love they put into their home. We had 3 families with us and every single person commented on how this was the best vacation ever. If you want to relax, have fun, get to know one another, and have a great time all the way around, rent here. No need to look anywhere else. Thank you so much - we will be back!

Family get-together
We've stayed at quite a few VRBOs and this is definitely in our top 3. The house is absolutely beautiful with the view of the lake and cypress trees. We live in SWFL and my sister in law lives in Pensacola so we wanted to meet halfway to get the family together. We had 7 adults and 7 kids and it was plenty big. Kids between ages 1-13 and they all had a blast. The rope swing is so much fun, there's a little playground, and a pool table upstairs. We brought fishing poles, cornhole, horseshoes, and board games. The yard is huge. No luck fishing lol and it rained one of the days, but our last night there the sunset was BEAUTIFUL! Owners were very responsive, place was clean, quite a few extra blankets, and the kitchen was fully stocked with cookware/utensils/coffee pot/Keurig/crockpot, etc. And there's a gas grill on the porch. Highly recommend!
