About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Private lakefront home w/porch & dock--fish, relax; quiet & shady

A home with plenty of shade and outdoor area to enjoy. Fish from the dock, play games on the screen porch, or BBQ at the picnic area. Plus there is a boat launch nearby. Plenty of room to eat or chat around the table. Three beds (king, 2 queen) to make very comfortable sleeping arrangements for six people. You can request fish food -- fun for kids to take to the dock and watch the fish come over for a meal.

Very private, yet still close to the lovely sandy white beaches of South Walton County (approximately 20 minute drive). Or take a drive to visit the E.O.Wilson Biophilia Center, historic Eden Gardens State Park, or Alaqua Animal Refuge. There are several golf courses, scuba diving, horseback riding, and fishing charter opportunities -- all of which can be done as a day trip.

Other recommendations and entertainment ideas can be provided upon request. Please review house rules regarding pets. There is a $50 fee for animals brought on the property.

We really enjoyed our time at this location. We did some fishing and also enjoyed going to the beach. Plenty of restaurants and shopping close by. Enclosed patio was nice even though we only had 15 minutes of rain during our stay.

Very comfortable stay

Close enough to town. Plenty of room to relax and enjoy the quiet calmness of the deck, screened in porch and walk to the water. Walmart delivery for forgotten items was spot on. Tannin’s restaurant easily accompanied 20 for dinner after my brother's memorial service. Service and food were wonderful. We would definitely stay again, if in the area.

The house is completely modernized on the inside. The outside still needs work, especially the entrance. It needs a sidewalk to the house. I would definitely rent this house again in the future.

Blessed to be back

This place is our haven. We have been here four, maybe five times? This is where my kids reset after a long school year, where we make memories and just enjoy quiet, solitude and family. It’s always just perfect. Beds are comfortable, my kids sleep amazing and mom and dad have quiet moments. The views are beautiful and the location on the lake is one of a kind. Everything you could need is here, and the owners have hearts of gold. We love this home and we’ll of course be back.

I have never used VRBO before so I had no idea what I was doing. They were so patient with me. The cabin was spotless.The kitchen was very well stocked. We couldn't get the wifi to work and he was here to fix it within the hour! I was very impressed. Will stay here again

Winter retreat

My 3 teens and I were 1 month snow birds in this lovely home. The internet was great for school. The host was quick to respond and let us borrow additional kitchen gadgets we needed for a longer stay. We enjoyed lounging on the dock and walking the neighborhood. We were close enough to explore the beaches and amazing hiking trails. We would choose to stay here again.

Perfect quiet getaway

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this lakeside cozy cabin with my family while we were in town visiting the in laws, and I must say it was an absolute delight! The cabin itself was charming and had all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. The lakeside location provided a serene atmosphere that allowed me to truly unwind and relax. The fishing dock was a wonderful addition, as it allowed my husband and kids to spend days enjoying the outdoors and trying their luck at catching some fish. The owners were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making sure that my stay was nothing short of perfect. I highly recommend this cozy cabin vacation rental to anyone looking for a peaceful and rejuvenating getaway. Can't wait to go back next time we are in town!

Meeting great grandson

The cabin was wonderful. I had my grandson, his wife and baby over for breakfast on Saturday morning. Then we sat in the screened porch for a while. Very peaceful. The property is beautiful. I dropped water on the floor in the kitchen, i wiped it up with a paper towel and the paper towel was clean when i looked at it. Very clean through out the cabin. We will definitely rent this cabin next time we are in Defuniak Springs.

Lake Jenny and nearby natural springs

I took my 3 kids and one of their friends for a long weekend with plans to go to the nearby natural springs. We enjoyed this lake house as much as we did the springs. The kids fished, we swam, we made s’mores in the fire pit, ate on the enclosed back porch, and watched the sun set and rise on the lake. The place is much prettier than the pictures. It’s clean and roomy, too. I look forward to staying here again when we are in the area.
