'Lotus Point' Lake House Getaway on Four Rustic Acres
Find rest, relaxation, and tranquility at Lotus Point Lake House!
Escape to the lakeside and unwind in the natural beauty that awaits you at your two bedroom/two bath spacious cottage nestled in seclusion on four rustic acres. Three rocking chairs wait patiently for you to take in the beauty and calmness of Lake Consuela. Lay by the lake and listen to the sounds of the Florida country in a Chaise lounge or cozy up to a firepit with a lakeside view. Take the rowboat on the lake for a chance to see Lake Consuela in all her beauty. If you'd prefer 21st century comforts, kick back and relax inside the house with a Firestick and Wifi. This lovely 1,300 square foot cottage (located 12 miles west of I-75), can sleep up to 6 people.
The kitchen comes fully stocked with pots, pans, plates, utensils, a coffeemaker, and a dishwasher.
For fun on the lake, the property comes with a small fishing boat, two canoes, two kayaks, and a paddle boat (please see safety instructions below). __________________________________________________________________________

After staying here last year with the guys on a bike trip, I brought my wife up this time and she absolutely loved it. Extremely clean, well appointed, relaxing and very private.

Tim thank you! We hope you'll come back sometime. Thanks again, Dwight
Beautiful wooded property on a quiet little lake.Very clean, well appointed lake house….comfy beds and well equipped kitchen.It was a perfect getaway for us and the dog.
A great place to stay! We enjoyed the remote location, yet close to the bike path and other activities. The house was clean with a well-stocked kitchen. The host always responded promptly to our requests. We highly recommend Lotus Point!
Awesome place to stay especially if you want to ride the Withlacochee Bike trail. Everything was clean and very comfortable. Property was beautiful and you can see the lake from the inside of house. The wifi was updated so we had to get password from router. We will be back for sure.

Mindy, we looK forward to seeing you and your family again soon! Thank you, Dwight Dudley
Very nice location- a little dated but definitely worth the value pricing! The lake was not in fishing condition as it was very low, but the view was very serene and peaceful!
The cabin is functional but the pictures are dated. The yard had not been maintained, there were branches and debris everywhere. The dock is in disrepair. There is a sign posted that warns visitors to "use at your own risk". The property and home have enormous potential if cared for properly.
Privacy on a lake. Beautiful lake views from property and in house, lots of water crafts and fishing. Close enough to all attractions with the ability to have space to enjoy and privacy. Absolutely loved the location.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
The house was okay, but overall could use a good cleaning/maintenance. The blankets had dog hair on them, the pull out couch had leaves and dirt in it. The cabinets had a mold smell in them. Two chairs on the porch were broken (one being previously repaired based on the L-bracket). The front bathroom's toilet ran almost constantly. The pedal boat did not work well, the row boat was not flipped and full of water. We brought our own kayaks so we were still able to enjoy the water. We have stayed here in the past, but probably will find a new spot.
Great home base for group of friends on a weekend bike trip. Location was ideal House was thoughtfully equipped with all amenities. Panoramic lake views were awesome. Tranquility and privacy is exceptional.
We really enjoyed staying at the lake house. The property was spacious and private. Loved looking out at the lake every day! The house had everything we needed and was comfortable. A great vacation for us.

What makes this property unique
Lotus is the ideal RELAXATION STATION. Coffee on the rockers overlooking the lake first thing in the morning is one of our favorite places in the entire world. You won't want to leave the three rocking chairs. We have a row boat waiting at all times. There is a bike trail .2 miles from lotus. Bikes can be rented .9 miles away. There are many options to set up for, a croquet championship, corn hole or badminton tournaments. Guests have caught a variety of fish in the lake.
