Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage is super clean and pleasant. The furniture and beds are comfortable. Just about everything you need in the kitchen and bath. Plenty of shaded and sunny sitting areas outside. It is fun to sit on the dock and fish or enjoy the birds. Just know that there are two very slight steps indoors. Would absolutely return here in the future.

The dream lake house

Recommend eating at the Cove, which is less than a mile from this house. We even got to see a little alligator out about 15 foot from the dock.

Perfect place to stay!

We had a wonderful stay once we finally got there.(flight cancellations and such) This is a great house. Plenty of room. Decorated nicely, clean, nice back porch, yard and dock. Very relaxing and I felt safe. The owners were very accommodating and easy to work with. I can’t wait to come back next year to visit. We will definitely stay here if available.

Cute waterfront cottage

We had a great stay at this cute waterfront cottage. Cottage had everything we needed to make for a very enjoyable stay. Loved the mix of antiques and beachy decor in the cabin. Beds were very comfortable! We loved watching the sunrise from the deck every morning! Cottage is very close to town for dining, shopping, and walking the Withlacoochee trail. Also close to Crystal River / Orlando and Tampa for day trips. We will definitely stay here in the future. Thank you Ellie for sharing your beautiful cottage with us!

Like this place

The house and surroundings were very clean and neat, every thing was well organized Elena and husband met us at public boat ramp and escorted back to the house, which was a big help in navigating the canal system the dock accommodated our boat nicely. It’s a very quiet area. Will stay here again.

Spring Break 2024

Had a great stay. Owners were very friendly and helpful. We were looking for a place that we could bring a boat and enjoy nature while also being close enough to big cities if we wanted. This location was pretty much directly between Tampa and Orlando and gave us the flexibility we were looking for. We saw tons of wildlife on the lakes and rivers and enjoyed ourselves greatly!!

Relaxed getaway

We stayed for the month of January. The cottage was perfect for the two of us. Very clean, central location to attractions and sights in the area. Shopping very close. Sitting in the sunshine on the back deck looking at the wildlife was a favourite activity. The host was excellent!! We enjoyed our stay very much.

Birthday Getaway on the water

The house is close to town and several great restaurants. Very clean and nicely laid out with lots of space. Both bedrooms were very comfortable, two tv areas with big screens and screaming internet. My 18.5’ IO boat got through the canals going to the big lakes which are 21 miles of connecting lakes. Fishing and exploring are the best in the area.
