We enjoyed our time on Cue Lake! The home is beautiful and spacious! Both porches are wonderful places to sit in the mornings with a cup of coffee and enjoy the lovely view of the lake. Our son fished off the dock and used his kayak also. We brought our jet ski, and we enjoyed tubing on the lake. We brought a pop-up shade shelter, and we set it up down by the water. This made our days enjoyable as we spent several hours down by the water. We rode into nearby Keystone Heights and enjoyed eating at Woodland Burgers and Wings...great burgers!!! It was an enjoyable vacation, and we will definitely return! We are only about an hour and a half away...so it would make a great destination for a weekend get-away!

House is HUGE! Seriously, the photos don't do it justice. Large kitchen, open to a large dining area and living room. 3 bedrooms plus the bonus room. We had to hunt for kids some mornings to figure out where they finally crashed. Ample parking areas for your vehicles and gear. The lake is amazing. It's about a half of a mile straight across, a mile and a half if you paddle the perimeter. We did both on kayaks and paddle boards. Bring a pop up tent, you'll want the shade down by the water. Plenty close enough to enjoy stuff in Gainesville, Palatka, or even Saint Augustine.

If you’re seeking a lakeside retreat close to the University of Florida, look no further than this home on Cue Lake. It is impressively spacious, featuring three nicely appointed bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a bonus room with a futon and lofted twin bed—our group of six had plenty of room. It also had a fully equipped kitchen with a Keurig and drip coffee maker, a cozy living room with a smart TV, a gas grill, and a screened-in deck and patio. Enjoy direct access to Cue Lake. You can swim, paddleboard, kayak, or fish. Paddleboards and a kayak are included in the price. The host’s responsiveness and attention to detail made our stay comfortable and worry-free. The home was well-maintained and very clean. About 40 minutes from UF, it’s an ideal spot for football weekends, graduation, or simply a quiet getaway. We had a nice stay and would absolutely return!
