Darby's Lakehouse Retreat
Located on beautiful Lake St John and nestled in cypress trees this lake house is a hidden treasure. From the 54 ft screened in front porch to the end of the 120 ft pier the sunset views are amazing. It is beautifully decorated and extremely clean. Definitely a 5 star rental. Sleeps 10 and two more if you use the sectional to sleep on. Great fishing pier in the shade of cypress trees. You will never want to leave!

Beyond Fabulous
This property is incredible. The host has created the most comfortable, cozy home ever! The pictures do not do it justice. The decor is amazing, the home is so comfortable and inviting. The screened in porch is so spacious and the view of the lake from the porch is incredible. We hated to leave this morning!!!

Most amazing memories made!!
Thank you so much for allowing our family the opportunity to enjoy a beautiful Memorial Day weekend on the lake in this beautiful house! No matter where you sit, there’s gorgeous scenery in front of you. The house was fully furnished with comfortable furniture & suited us perfectly! We were able to cook most meals in the spacious kitchen & even used the outdoor grill to make burgers & the fire pit to do smores. We will be coming back for sure! Couldn’t imagine a more perfect spot!

Best back porch on the lake!!
Fabulous! Perfect location for our girls weekend! The house had everything we needed for a nice relaxing weekend with friends! Plenty of room and very clean. The owners were so easy to work with and very accommodating. Communication was top notch! The house is decorated so lovely- you feel right at home! The pier is wonderful and it was so nice to be right on the water. And, did I mention the back porch?!?! Huge screened in porch with plenty of seating and beautiful view- perfect for sipping morning coffee and evening wine! Definitely a 5 star property! Can’t wait to go back!!

Girls Trip
We stayed here for a girls trip and we could not have picked a better place. The house was very spacious and had plenty of room for the eight of us to spread out. The kitchen has everything and more than you need. The screened porch was a perfect place to hang out when the sun went down. The pier was amazing and we had so much fun fishing and swimming in the lake. Experienced the best communication I have ever had with a host before- Darby is just lovely and went out of her way to make sure we had an enjoyable trip. We definitely will return for future trips. Thanks so much again!!
