Good family reunion place

The house was perfect for our family reunion, plenty of places to sleep, large yard for fun games and a nice indoor area for cooking and eating. We enjoyed watching sunsets in the screened room out on the dock with no bugs! The house is well maintained and very comfortable.

Snowball in Sebring

My wife and our fur baby stayed here for 2 1/2 months and really enjoyed our stay. Yes the house could use some updates but we were comfortable and the fenced in front and back yards gave our Aussie/Doodle lots of room to romp.Andre was tremendous to deal with.

Good Ole Country Home

The property with its huge open yard, long dock and screened in dock house was so relaxing and beautiful! The house is exactly as described with a good ole country home feeling. We had 2 work vehicles and there was plenty of room to park for everyone, which is often a challenge. There were mostly females in our group and even this far out in the country we felt very safe here. Thank you!

feels like home

We absolutely loved the home, the yard was so beautiful and had plenty of room for outside activities. Each room was cozy and had tons of room. What I loved about this home was that it had a home feeling and had plenty of things to accommodate a large family. One down fall is the lolly pads and weeds near the dock it was a bit much and a little scary, but once you past that the beautiful lake is there to enjoy while sitting in the screen in dock. Overall it was a great stay and would love to do it again.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Cleanliness
The home was not very clean. Found a spoon in the drawer that was greasy. Cameras all over the place in the yard gave me creeps like someone was spying on us. The door lock code didn't work and gave us problems, then started working on its own like someone was controlling it. The people next door might be the owners and seem to be very interested in whats happening. The beds were very firm, so hard it seems unnatural. No fish in the lake, which was why we went there. The view was great and we saw some deer in the yard. Overall we didn't like it.
Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026
Response from VrboOwner on Jan 8, 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the overlooked dirty spoon. We employ a professional cleaning crew, and while we do not always inspect personally due to living far from the property, we address such matters promptly. The lake is not advertised as a fishing location. Exterior cameras are installed solely for safety. The correct door code was provided, and mattress comfort varies by personal preference.

Beautiful Cottage & Property on Lake Josephine

My husband and I were looking for a lake cottage in the Sebring area where we could relax with our two dogs, and this was a perfect find! The cottage is right on Lake Josephine and sets on a huge, beautiful lot that is totally fenced in (which was great for our dogs). The cottage itself had everything that we needed and was very clean, spacious and well kept. We absolutely loved spending every evening at the end of the pier (which had a screened enclosure) watching the gorgeous sunsets. The lake itself is beautiful and peaceful, and the surrounding cottages are very nice and well kept. The location was perfect as well, as we were within 5 to 10 miles of grocery stores, restaurants, shopping malls, movie theatre, library, Sebring International Raceway, and the Highlands Hammock State Park. All in all, it was one of the best and most relaxing vacations that we have ever had, and Don & Nancy were an absolute pleasure to deal with when making the arrangements. We will definitely stay there again!

Relaxing and comfortable

Overall had a nice Thanksgiving week stay with our extended family. Easy check in and out. Excellent WiFi and cold central A.C. Adequate stocked kitchen. Lots of extra towels and linens. Nice neighbors. The structure of this home and it's furnishings are not comfortable for tall or fat people. The screened in porch needs repair. No dead bolt on outside door. One twin bed was broken and the upstairs mattress desperatly needs replaced. Couldn't fish well because too many lilly pads around the dock. I was a tad disappointed especially because the previous reviews were outstanding.

Response from VrboOwner on May 31, 2022
Good Morning Stephanie, I am glad you had a nice Thanksgiving at our home. There are lily pads on one side of the dock, not ours to trim. I thought you could fish from straight off the end of the dock. Sorry for any inconvenience. We will be doing some improvements coming soon. We always appreciate when quests alert of things that need attention (our cleaning help does not always catch things). As of March, we have fixed the twin beds frames, removed the lumpy, old mattress topper and put a new mattress topper on the upstairs bed (the verdict is still out - Im dreading trying to get a mattress up those stairs!). I got after our lake-cleaning man to do a better job and more has been cleared next to the dock. With being blessed with so many guest, we often to not get to the house for several month, so welcome hearing if anything needs to be done, so we can keep the house in top shape.

A little TLC needed

Where to begin, the first day the water heater died but was fixed within a reasonable amount of time, then the city water feed broke so no water at all, but was fixed in reasonable amount of time. The house is kinda cramped with the king in the master bedroom not leaving much room to get around. The screens on the dock and the back deck were punched out so it made them unusable, but there were fixed a day before we left. Only one of the bedrooms had a TV. The front door jamb blew out but again was fixed so we could lock the door. The photos on line did not truly represent the property, but with some TLC and clean up it wouldn't be too bad. On the up side it was a nice quiet neighborhood with a nice view of the lake. The beds were comfy and there the A/C blew cold, This property needs to update the photos and do some landscaping. With all the problems the owners did offer us a few extra days for free, but we could only stay one due to the fact we had to be back up north.

Good afternoon Anthony, Unfortunately, the house does need to be updated. It is one of the older homes on Lake Josephine. Sorry for the inconveniences. We do try to have problems fixed within a timely manner. As we do not live in Sebring. Thank you for leaving a review.

Nice but…

The location is really nice, but for the price the accommodations were not great. It felt like staying at a friend’s vacation home. The location is beautiful though. A portion of the family was planning on staying ended up staying at a local hotel instead. Anyways, underwhelmed and wish we just all stayed at a hotel.

Exactly what we were looking for

A very nice few days on the lake, is just what we needed. We very much enjoyed our stay at this house on Lake Josephine. The owners were very cooperative with us having to change dates, due to a scheduling mix-up, even on short notice. And they made sure we had their contact info during our stay. Although we had no issues or questions, it was nice knowing they were available. The house had all the amenities we needed for comfort. We were able to enjoy our boat, with the boat launch very close by, and the sunsets were breathtaking! We hated to leave, but hope to return.

Love this lake house!!!

This was the second time that we stayed at this lake house and everything was perfect from start to finish! Nancy was so helpful and kind when we scheduled our reservation, and everything was nicely set up for us when we arrived. The area is so beautiful and peaceful, and it is so close to Sebring for restaurants, grocery stores, the Highlands Hammock State Park, and just about everything that you could possibly need. The large fenced in yard was a favorite for our dog! We absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend this lake house to anyone looking for a nice, peaceful and relaxing lake house that doesn't have a lot of motor boat traffic. We will definitely be booking it again for our next vacation!
