Cute, cosy and extremely clean

Everything you could possibly want in a relaxing area of central Florida. Cute, well apportioned cottage that was as comfortable as being at home. Darlene and Rick have thought of everything. I highly recommend this property.

Great cottage... perfect quiet location for my family and I to enjoy a weekend getaway. We had a relaxing time and stay in the small quiet community. Rick and Darlene were great host that were very accommodating and friendly. During our stay we got to enjoy the beautiful summer evenings relaxing and grilling on their beautiful porch and during the day we got to soak up the sun on the lake boating, kayaking and swimming! Hopefully our return is sooner than later!

Cozy little cottage

I didn't stay in the house myself but some of our family members did. I did a walk thru, tho, and the house was nice and on some beautiful property. I didn't hear any complaints from the ones who stayed there. I didn't get to meet Darlene but my son did. She was kind and offered to let us use some things on her lake front property across the street from the cottage. We had a blast!

Perfect accommodations!!

Loved the charming cottage, immaculately clean and user friendly. Also very peaceful with beautiful view. We came to Florida to watch a softball tournament and drive our Slingshot so gone a lot but appreciated every minute! Would definitely refer to family and friends and return ourselves if the opportunity comes up!

A Very Special Place

We had a great stay at this beautiful cottage. Such a quiet place across the lake road with lovely views from the large deck and screened porch. We even tried the kayaks and they were surprisingly easy and fun to get out onto the lake. Everything about the cottage was so clean and well equipped, and left us wanting for nothing.

Wonderful cottage!

The cottage is immaculate and was just the right space for my family. We wanted something near my parents for a short visit, and this was simply perfect. So much nicer than staying in a hotel also.
