    Description

    We are recently retired and moved to our lake house vacation home on the Nature Coast of Florida. This is our happy place being with nature and the beauty of lake living. Here there are plenty of places to explore from natural springs, caves to bike trails and Gulf Coast access.
    We have a kayak, canoe and bikes to explore the lake and bike trails. The house is fully furnished and you will have use of the guest bedroom and bath along with the entire house and property.
    Hernando, Florida is a very small town surrounded with other growing towns . Everything is close by for restaurants, shopping and sightseeing. The Gulf coast is only 20 minutes away. This is part of Old Florida where the Spanish moss sways in the cypress trees and the sounds of nature creates its own music.
    We have 3 older dogs with normal age related disabilities. One is a 9 year old Cursano diabetic and blind requiring twice a day insulin shots. A 12 year old Maltese.who is deaf and a 17 year old small wire hair mix that is deaf and partially blind. All are rescue dogs and low maintenance. They just enjoy being fed twice a day and some love.
