Ten year residents of 5381 Fairfield Way have a setting that most would dream of. Nestled on this cul-de-sac, Austin and Dawn Peterson are graced with the nonstandard views of waterways and mangroves with the occasional visits of manatees and porpoises. This locale is extremely suited for this couple’s endeavors of Stoke’s Marine general manager and Tanglewood Elementary educator, respectfully. Austin, a life long resident of Whiskey Creek  and  Dawn, an Ocala native, have raised two sons, Jack and Cole, whom have further strengthened the family’s attraction to whatever the canal access and deeper water can provide. The “safe family orientation” is what effortlessly sprang forth when asked of what appeals to them the most of their choice locale. But it’s not that view that captured this editors attention. Their home is exquisitely manicured and adorned with Florida flora. But isn’t that what makes this beloved community favored? There is always depth and breathe that emanates from the recognition of one’s efforts in calling one’s residence as a honored Whiskey Creek home. Take a spin on this cup-de-sac and be introduced to this exquisite locale and find out the meaning their Chocolate Lab “Roby’s” name… you’ll learn something about “Robalo” and make the acquaintance of a fine Whiskey Creek example!
