GETAWAY FROM THE CRAZINESS: COME RELAX & ENJOY THE WATER / FISHING / SUN / FUN

Bring your boat, jetski, kayak, canoe, or just your blow up float and soak up the lake life. Don't forget your poles and plenty of bait for our renowned fishing. Load your family up and getaway to George's Lake. Relax with all of the comforts of home, but none of the stress or worries.

"ABOUT GEORGE'S LAKE

Located in Between Two-State Forests

George's Lake is located in northern Putnam County, conveniently situated between two lush state forests: Belmore State Forest and Etoniah Creek State Forest.

Swimming, Fishing, Boating, and More

George's Lake is known for its clear water and sandy bottom.
Visitors and residents enjoy swimming, boating, and fishing all less than 50 miles from Jacksonville. Some of the more popular fish caught in George's Lake are largemouth bass, black crappie, bluegill, and catfish.

George’s Lake Public Boat Ramp is easily accessible for those who need to drop their boat in the lake.

Fun at the State Parks

Belmore State Forest is a great place to enjoy hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Hunting and fishing are both permitted during specific times of the year. Wildlife is abundant in Belmore, and visitors might see wild turkeys, white-tailed deer, hawks, and songbirds if they are lucky. There are even a few threatened species that call Belmore their home. The gopher tortoise, Sherman’s fox squirrel, Florida black bear, American alligator, and the eastern indigo snake can also be found on a lucky day.
Etoniah Creek State Forest is just as fun. The forest spans 8,879 acres of land, and this forest offers many of the same recreational opportunities as Belmore. Etoniah Creek has three hiking trails available.

George's Lake is just a short drive to the vibrant cities of Jacksonville, Gainesville, Ocala, St Augustine and Daytona Beach. There are museums, zoos, a planetarium, and more state parks to fill your schedule."

This stay was our seventh since 2020.As I have said in prior reviews, I grew up in Jacksonville. I am very familiar with this area. If you are looking for an excellent North Florida lake experience, you search is over.This is an excellent place to stay. BTW, we don't think the photos do it justice, as beautiful as they are.

Peaceful Lakefront Gem

We’ve stayed at this lake house twice now, and we absolutely love it! Easy check in and out! The owner is very nice and extremely helpful! The place is well kept and clean. We couldn’t ask for anything more! Lots of fun on the lake, swimmimg, fishing, kayaking and tubing. We stayed with our children and grandchildren. We had a wonderful time and we will definitely book again.

Wonderful Getaway

Another fantastic stay at this property on George’s Lake! It’s quiet, secluded, and a great place to relax and unwind. We enjoyed walks to the lake, campfires, board games, and family time. The lake house has everything you need and a fantastic host/owner. We will definitely be back in the future!

Perfect location for our getaway. Quiet, peaceful setting with awesome view of the sun rising over the lake. Close but not too close, to grocery, restaurants, parks, and wildlife areas.

Awesome Lake House

The house is super cute, in a great area, very clean and extremely comfortable….not to mention right on George’s Lake! The view from the huge screened in porch is beautiful and the water feature off of the patio was a delightful surprise. Denny was an excellent host and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. We will definitely stay here again.
