Review FROM 2009 :
'Just returned from a wonderful time on Tuckertown Lake. Our annual fishing trip took us to Tuckertown where we found great success. Not only was Bryan's house a comfortable haven of relaxation but the lakes seclusion was terrific. Over 5 days we seldom saw anyone on the water outside of a few serious fisherman. We mostly fished largemouth bass but would occasionally work the panfish during the heat of the day. There was easily 70+ bass caught and 50+ panfish. The hammock was great in the evenings and Bryan left the gas grill ready to go which was a welcome means of cooking for the man trip. We all had a wonderful time and capped it off with a tasty Tuckertown fish fry. If you're looking for a comfortable, relaxing, and extremely secluded spot to spend some time on the water give this place a shot! You'll be glad you did.'

Weekend away

We had a wonderful stay at this lakeside retreat. The setting is incredibly peaceful, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The bed was very comfortable, and the kitchen had plenty of cookware to prepare meals. We also enjoyed the nearby hiking trails.

Family Fun at the Lake

We had a wonderful time at the lake and the owners were very hospitable. Our dogs were welcomed and it was wonderful having them along. Having the boat available made the vacation that much more enjoyable. We will certainly come back.

Relaxing Family Adventures at the LAKE!

Our family enjoyed this lake house for a week during our Spring Break. It was wonderful to get away from the noisy beach life of Florida and enjoy the calm environment with it's amazing views sunup to sundown! Our boys fished, enjoyed tubing on the pontoon boat, and letting our lab swim in the water. Brian was an amazing host with attention to detail and quick communication. We hope to return to this place again in the future!

Down for a wedding, stayed for a vacation!

What a wonderful, peaceful place! Thank you for sharing your home with us and our family, Bryan and Delia, to enjoy while we were down for a wedding and added time for vacation. The home was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed (especially a/c which was greatly appreciated with the hot humid July weather)! We rented the pontoon boat for 3 days and enjoyed time on the lake, cruising, tubing, fishing and swimming. We brought our floaty-chairs and found a cove to anchor in and float, swim and enjoy some down time/family time. Bryan and Delia are great hosts. Would highly recommend!

The perfect getaway!

This was hands down a great and wonderful vacation. This property and its owners are truly phenomenal in every aspect and provided us the best family vacation we have ever had. The home and property were perfect and provided an absolute a wonderful experience. We truly felt like we had a private lake at times with a home that was surrounded by woods and wilderness to give that private and secluded atmosphere we were looking for. Our family will without a doubt be returning for another family vacation.

Quiet cozy getaway on the lake

We (my parents, spouse, and two dogs) stayed at this property for four nights. We enjoyed how remote the house was to other people. The host did a great job describing the area in the listing. The local town was only about 15 minutes away but at the house we hardly saw others. We spent a lot of time hanging out on the lake, which was nearly deserted even on a holiday weekend. We also rented the host's boat while staying and loved having the option to combine a place to stay with the boat rental. Bryan was nice and helpful in showing us around the boat the day he dropped it off. We hope to stay again in the future!

Private retreat

This is a lovely home, located on a beautiful lake. It is quiet, and private. The home is as stated, quite comfortable and clean. We had a great time, enjoyed having the boat at the pontoon dock, grilling each night and the wonderful views off the porch. Our dogs enjoyed swimming each day and had lots of room to run. Really enjoyed the map showing us everything we needed to know. Would definitely rent again.

We really enjoyed the peaceful relaxing stay by the lake. The home has very comfortable beds, a satellite for TV's, DVD movies, cards, and everything we could possibly need for our stay. We rode the pontoon boat that they provided and had an awesome time just riding and fishing off it. We caught about 20 or so very nice size catfish. We grilled out steaks and deep fried catfish one evening. The owners were always there if we needed them and very nice!! We hope to be back again soon!! Thanks Bryan and Delia

Awesome time!

We rented the home for my daughters graduation and to have family come hang out on the lake. Kids had a BLAST! As did the adults! Beds were comfy and had everything you could need. We rented the boat for a few days and took all the kids and big kids tubing and no one wanted to stop to eat lol Bryan was great communicating with us if we needed anything at all! We enjoyed it so much that we ended up extending twice and it wasn’t booked thru the weekend we would have extended again! We will most def be back!
