If privacy and a waterfront environment teeming with wildlife appeals to you, then you have come to the right place.
Lake George Hideaway is a clean, modern, nicely decorated, fairly large, canal front home located west of Pierson Florida near the southeastern corner of Lake George.
Although Daytona with it's speedway, beaches, and nightlife is only 40 minutes away, and Disney World and all that goes with it are within a 2-hour drive, the main attractions to this place are the privacy, the quiet waterfront setting with abundant wildlife, and the great boating/fishing made available via the canal connecting to Lake George and the St. Johns River.
This is not the noisy, packed to capacity, tourist filled, artificial, "Theme Park" Florida.
This is the real thing.....
Picture the early morning entertainment while eating your breakfast at the rustic oak table on the screened-in back porch:
You are centered on the lot's 300 feet of waterfront. Because the canal was dug almost 40 years ago with little development in the area, the look and feel is not so much that of an artificial canal, but more like a natural creek.
There are no other houses visable, only the Palm, Oak, and Cedar trees, the dock, boathouse, and fish cleaning station.
Birds singing, frogs grunting, fish splashing. The sounds of nature surround you and are only interrupted by the occasional weekend airboater cruising the nearby lake.
Squirrels are creating a ruckus in the dry palm fronds as they jump from one palm tree to another on the other side of the canal.
The Cardinals are feeding at the birdfeeder, there is a Blue Heron hunting for breakfast out on the dock, and there are Ospreys circling overhead waiting for an unlucky Bream, Speckled Perch, or Largemouth Bass to come near the surface. You might see one of the Great Horned Owls hanging out in the trees or consider yourself fortunate if you catch a glimpse of a Bald Eagle gliding over at tree top level.
A half dozen or more turtles are sunning themselves on the opposite bank, and If you are lucky, you might get to see an Otter playing in the water.
'Possum, Raccoons, Armadillos, Deer, Wild Turkeys, Manatees etc., etc..
Pretty much any animal Florida's got to offer has been spotted around here at one time or another.
We never seem to tire of the going's on in the backyard, and we bet you won't either.
Bring your boat!
The dock and covered boat slip are located right in the back yard, only a short distance away from the screened-in porch. A short ride down the canal brings you out to the large, beautiful Lake George. Lake George and the connecting St. Johns river offer many fishing and cruising opportunities, and the nearby Silver Glen Springs and Salt Springs with their crystal clear waters are a great place to go swim or just hang out.
Don't get the idea you've got to own a boat to enjoy Lake George Hideaway though. Most find that they don't even need to leave the yard to enjoy the natural Florida beauty, great fishing, and wildlife.
NEW ADDITIONS!
We have added a 5 person hot tub, and you've got to see the garage that has been converted to a game room with blacklights, pool table, pinball machine, jukebox, antique Shuffle Bowler and more! Check out more pictures at the Lake George Hideaway website.

| Notes: |
To be clear, unlike some of the rentals in the Astor area, this is a
conventionally constructed house, not a mobile home. It is located
in a nice, clean, residential neighborhood made up entirely of
houses (no mobile homes or campers), and although there are only 2
bedrooms and 1 bath available for use, this is a large roomy house
with approximately 2500 sq ft to wander around in.
Pets may be allowed under certain circumstances, and an extra charge
may apply. Contact for more info. Please, no pets allowed in indoor
living area.
