Location: Lake Panasoffkee, Central-Disney-Orlando Area, Florida, USA (45 miles west of Orlando Florida)
Accommodations: House, 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-3)
Relax in our efficiency cottage for a weekend, week, or a month, located on a large canal at the mouth of beautiful and restored Lake Panasoffkee. Sit on the wide 225 foot long seawall and enjoy a spectacular sunrise over the lake, watch the Osprey as they dive for fish, and enjoy the wildlife. Catch fish right off the dock or take your boat for a day of fishing. A covered boat slip is available if you bring your own boat. No boat? No problem, you can rent one from a fish camp close by. Shellcracker, bass and perch are bountiful. If you prefer fishing in the Withlacoochie River, a public park with boat ramp is less than five minutes away.
Three local, well liked restaurants are very close by. You can walk to the Cracker Shack restaurant in Werda-Hecamiat Village which serves all-you-can-eat fish on Friday nights and prime rib on Saturday nights. Next door to the Cracker Shack is Harbor Lights, which is known for its magnificent buffet. Catfish Johnny’s is just a few blocks away and is known for its fish and corn fritters.
The cottage is less than an hour away from all central Florida major attractions. A quick hop on the Florida Turnpike takes you to Disney, Sea World or Universal Studios. One hour south is Bush Gardens. Less than an hour west is the Gulf of Mexico where you can snorkel and swim with the manatees at Rainbow Springs or Crystal River. Golf courses are 20 minutes away.
For the bargain hunters, Webster Flea Market, about a 20-minute drive, with over 4000 vendors is open on Mondays. Fresh fruit, vegetables, flowers, clothing, furniture, antiques and anything you can think of can be purchased there. You can find a live auction in the area Thursday through Sunday. Mt. Dora is about 45 minutes away and features a downtown antique shopping experience. You can board an old fashioned train for a ride and lunch on Saturdays in historic downtown Mt. Dora.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2009
We love the quiet and friendly community of Lake Panasoffkee and have owned a ranch in the area for over 30 years. Our weekend getaway is a respite from the hectic academic life as professors at a major university. Our children and extended family enjoy weekends on the lake.
Why the Owner Chose Lake Panasoffkee
Florida is a vibrant and energetic state with something for everyone. If you like nature, the Lake is a perfect place to enjoy all that nature offers. An abundance of activities are close by when you want to be around the hustle and bustle of people of all ages.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Quiet times, friendly neighbors, basking in the afternoon sun.
