PRIVATE LAKEFRONT + DOCK, Hot Tub, Kayaks, Paddleboards

Rare LAKEFRONT cottage: wake up to the lake just outside your door.

Our fully renovated private lakefront cottage is a peaceful Central Florida excape for couples and small families who want more than a place to sleep. Spend the morning paddling across the spring-fed lake, fish from the dock, relax in the hot tub overlooking the water, or enjoy a glass of wine from the wrap-around screened lanai as the sun goes down.

Boaters and waterskiers are welcome! Bring your own boat and enjoy the lake from our private dock and boathouse. Waterskiers will especially appreciate the TWO tournament slalom courses (requires additional communications prior to arrival: there is NO PUBLIC access on this lake - providing ideal conditions).

Don't have a boat? We've got you covered. Your stay INCLUDES use of 2 kayaks, 2 stand up paddleboards, and a large canoe, so you can be on the water without renting equipment or hauling your own.

Inside, the cottage is bright, comfortable and completely updated, with an open kitchen and living area overlooking the lake, excellent air conditioning, comfortable beds and everything you need to settle in (our 5 star reviews state we are well appointed).

Outside is where this cottage really shines: a private dock and boathouse, lakeside hot tub, fire pit, deck and wraparound screened lanai give you plenty of places to enjoy the view from morning to night.

Watch bald eagles, pelicans and herons fishing the shore; Paddle past herons and egrets along the shoreline; Cast a line at dusk, soak in the hot tub under the stars, or simply sit on the lanai with a book and enjoy how quiet the lake becomes in the evening.

And when you're ready to explore, your still close to everything Central Flroida has to offer. Montverde Academy is within walking distance, Bella Collina golfing is minutes away, and downtown Clermont, Minneola, Winter Garden, golf, cycling and Olando's major attractions are all within easy reach. We have MILES of bike trails!

A hidden gem is the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive and trails (check hours, currently open weekends and holidays only)-- rated 3rd nationally for birding, but other wildlife like bobcat and gators make LAWD home too.

SECURITY CAMERAS: We have one outdoor actively recording camera overlooking the front driveway towards the street that records video; a second outdoor actively recording camera that aims at the dock structure and kayak/paddleboard rack that records video. We use this camera to monitor the watersports equipment only (to assure equipment is secure). This camera CAN NOT view the hot tub, deck or anywhere towards the house past the beach.
