Fantastic

This property is Beautiful. Little piece of Heaven is a perfect description. We were in the one bedroom cabin and it was spacious, clean, well stocked with all the items to make you feel at home. The property is park like on the lake. We enjoyed sitting on the dock. Kevin and Kelly are both so kind and accomodating. They have 2 of the nicest, friendly dogs who greet you for a quick hello. There aren't enough words to describe the beauty and serenity of this place. We were there for 10 days and wished it had been longer. Highly recommend!!!.

Picture Perfect Property

I can't say enough good things about this place and the hosts! My daughter and I took a quick trip to the area before school started and we really enjoyed the property. The kayaks were a really nice way to see the lake and enjoy it's beauty. I enjoyed the view from the picture window in the living room of the property it was breathtaking. The landscape is kept very neat and it was beautiful. The hosts were so responsive and helpful, they are top notch. Quick drive to shopping, groceries and Tampa area. Just a beautiful area that I was not aware of until we found their place on VRBO. We hope to return one day.

The property is quiet and peaceful. It is located right off a small body of water surrounded by other beautiful homes and properties. The cottage was pleasantly comfortable and located near several day destinations. Nearer the cottage were grocery stores, Walgreens and eating venues.

We stayed at the cottage March 14-16, 2024 for my husband's birthday. The pictures were absolutely spot on. This place is quite beautiful! The cottage is cozy and the view is amazing! We sat by the water every morning! The owners were very accommodating and just all around very nice people! I highly recommend this spot! 5 stars!

A Private Oasis That's Close to Everything

What a wonderful weekend! We enjoyed a quiet evening watching the sun set over the lake from the dock, which has both sitting & lounging chairs, little tables & a sturdy umbrella. The evening that it rained was also incredibly relaxing from the screened in front porch, overlooking the lake. The bed was quite comfortable, which is always important to me. The shower is quite close to the commode, so anyone needing assistance (like a walker) would probably have difficulty navigating the small bathroom. If you're familiar with Florida well-water, you'll recognize the sulphur smell, so I'd recommend bringing bottled water to drink, make coffee with, or cook with. And it's just something to deal with when showering. But we wouldn't let that deter us from staying here again. When on site, you feel a million miles away from civilization, but everything you could want is so close. Grocery stores, restaurants & all kinds of shopping are just around the corner. It felt like the best of both worlds! If we're back in the area, I would have no hesitation to stay here again.

Beautiful, immaculate and relaxing grounds. Very unique cabin. Well kept. Clean. Comfortable bed. Homey feel and very private. For us, the well water took some getting used to, but in keeping with the cabin experience.

Our stay was too short! The accommodations were great. Clean, friendly - host is personable, friendly and inviting just like his property. Only bummer was low water pressure in the shower which I’m sure is hard to change. But most definitely would book again for sure. We will be back!

My wife and I stayed the weekend for my 43rd birthday. The property was the perfect place for a couple to get some kid free time. The neighborhood was beautiful. We both caught some bass out of the lake which was fun. We will definitely keep this property in mind for future stays!

Happy wife Happy life

The small 1 bedroom cottage was perfect for a vacation getaway and the location was convenient to Tampa where we were going on Royal Caribbean on a cruise ship. The fishing lake and the water crafts were icing on the cake. While not new in any way the cottage was as clean as you would want and had every amentity that you would need. If we are in the area again we will definitely stay there. The owners give you the privacy but are right next door if you need them. I gave them 5 stars because I could not give them 6.
