Quiet & Secluded yet short distance to everything!

Sits on wooded lot with a fire pit for evening fire or just relax on the comfy couch or chair and watch TV. All the things needed for a quiet getaway yet within driving distance to everything. Centrally located with 30 minutes of Tampa, Lakeland, Wesley Chapel.

Cleanliness (cobwebs, dirty floor, dishes in cupboard had grease and red sauce on them.Quiet, not. Excavator running throughout the stay. Perpetual campfire smoke and smell from burning trees and scrub.Secluded, yes. Presence of RVs on site was mentioned in the listing, however, proximity to the cottage was not adequately described or shown. Also, the presence of two utility trailers, one boat trailer and one car trailer in addition to two travel trailers in addition to the hosts fifth wheel in plain view from the cottage was not expected.The presence of high voltage electrical transmission lines running through the property was never mentioned.Finally, it should be noted if that throw rugs are present they can pose a hazard to older guests with disabilities. The absence of grab bars in the shower should also be mentioned.

This cottage provides quiet & peacefulness just a stone’s throw away from the highly trafficked commercial area. The host provides EVERYTHING you could need in a stay away from home! Clean & well stocked. Communication was always timely, kind & helpful. (Be sure to pay attention to the host’s directions, not your GPS!)

Perfect for couple

We needed extra space for family during the holidays and this was the perfect place. Cozy little space in a quiet secluded area. Easy to get to from Wesley Chapel which was where the rest of the family was. Hosts were easy to reach and check in several times to make sure everything was running smoothly with our stay.

great place to stay

The property was modern, clean and quiet. Still, a short drive, (1/4 mile maybe) put us close to all the stores and services we wanted as part of our vacation. We would gladly stay here again. Highly recommend!!

Peaceful, Cozy Getaway

First timers here, visiting family nearby, and the comfy cottage really lived up to its listing. It was so comfortable and inviting at the end of each day to drive down a country lane to modern and comfortable conveniences to relax and rest. Owners were very friendly and professional, communicating quickly about details and offering assistance settling in to the cottage and area. Hope to return!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Hagler

Host profile image
My Name is Jennifer and I grew up on this property spending weekends here and then living here after I grew up. My late mother purchased the house in 2017 to have as quiet getaway in her later years of life. I have chosen to offer this to travelers now as a relaxing getaway while in Florida. My husband and I hope that others can enjoy it as much as she did. That is why it is aptly named "Jewel's Hideaway".

Why they chose this property

The property has been in my family since the 70's and wanted to keep it and let others enjoy it.

What makes this property unique

Nestled in the middle of town, most people dont know the property even exists.
