The property offers a beautiful, landscaped yard with outdoor seating and a beautiful lake view. Just steps away is Lake Ella Park with a gazebo and a walking trail around the lake. Location, location, location conveniently located minutes from the Capitol, 10 mins to Hospitals and 1.8 miles from FSU!

Enter through your private entrance and into your large single room with floor-to-ceiling windows and queen bed. This unit features its own kitchen, full refrigerator, stove, microwave, coffee pot, and all utensils. It also comes with a closet and a 2020 renovated private full bathroom! Large front yard and fenced backyard for your enjoyment. Perfect for all travel and offers a laptop-friendly workspace with fast internet and reliable Wi-Fi for work-from-home travelers.

Guest access:
Guests will have a well-lit private entrance leading to their unit, and shared use of the yard and the washer and dryer.

Other details to note:
We provide additional linen/towels for longer-term stays. This unit books fast and is usually booked for several days/weeks at a time. So, if this is not available, please check out our other units!

Although check in is 3 PM... as long as your unit of choice has been cleaned and inspected, we would be happy to be flexible to your traveling needs. The units fill quickly, and our cleaning staff stay busy, so please allow 24 hours for late checkout requests.

Family pets are welcome if they have flea RX and current shots. We do charge a non-refundable fee/each pet.

Parking is available either on the street or in the Lake Ella parking lot. However, the home has a private driveway to accommodate the elderly, those with limited mobility, families with small children and all guests to use as a convenience to load and unload their cars.

Neighborhood description:
Lake Ella's part of Florida's "Old Spanish Trail," making it a great start for morning walks or jogs with a 0.6-mile paved walking trail that completely encircles the lake. The beautiful park features abundant wildlife, a pavilion, and shops making it a central place of activity for the city. The American Legion (bands/dancing) and Black Dog cafes are steps from the house. There are also a dozen other shops and restaurants nearby!

Personal cars are welcomed but might not be needed if you plan to stay local. Commercial transportation is available via your app, and taxis are a phone call away. Tallahassee also provides a free trolly for exploring the town. Nearby businesses within walking (or biking) distance include Publix, UPS, CVS, a bike shop to name a few.

The bungalow was nice and cozy and the host was extremely attentive. The lake is a plus and the house is located in a nice neighborhood that is close to Central Tallahassee and great restaurants and shops.
The house from the road.
Lots of ducks and geese to feed.  What a great park.

Convenient and cozy stay

Jack’s place is great. We were visiting Tallahassee to check out the city and this will offer you the option to explore the city and come back to a lake setting to stroll, visit some small local shops, grab a coffee, and relax.

Great place

This house is directly across street from Lake Ella. I was raised in Tallahassee and have many happy memories participating in the kids Fishathon and then 4th of July fireworks at Lake Ella. This is a very quiet, safe neighborhood. The facilities are exactly as advertised and the owner uses lockboxes for your key. It couldnt be any easier. The biggest plus, the bed is super comfortable. I will definitely stay here again

Lovely setting and neighborhood

This is my second time staying here. I love the area, and the house is really nice and clean. It is separated into several units. Mine was in the back. The code on the door wasn't working. Fortunately, another tenant was home and able to help me. Otherwise, the stay was perfect.
