About the host
Hosted by Lisa Bailey-Zounis
Married 31 years with 3 wonderful kids, I’m a proud sports mom, dog lover, and small business owner with 25 years in finish carpentry plus a mobile charcuterie business. Family, friends, and community mean everything to me, and I love sharing the joy of where I live with others. Hosting is my way of making guests feel cared for and at home.
Why they chose this property
We chose Lake Francis in Lake Placid because it feels like old Florida~quiet mornings, lake views, and neighbors who wave from their docks. Surrounded by nature and tucked away from the crowds, it gives our guests the chance to slow down and reconnect. Whether you’re fishing at dawn, paddling with your dog at sunset, or just watching the stars from the hot tub, there’s something magical about this little pocket of peace.
The peaceful mornings and sunsets on the lake are unbeatable. I love spotting herons and turtles along the shoreline, and seeing kids catch their first fish off the dock. It’s the kind of place where memories are made.
The vibe is relaxed, lakeside, and friendly. Think summer camp meets cozy cottage. It’s a mix of local charm and family-owned spots, with just enough adventure nearby~airboat rides, the Lake Placid murals, Sebring racetrack, and 27 lakes. Most of all, it’s quiet and peaceful.

What makes this property unique
The vibe is relaxed, lakeside, and friendly. It’s a mix of local charm and family-owned spots, with just enough adventure nearby~airboat rides, the Lake Placid murals, Sebring racetrack, and 27 freshwater lakes—to keep everyone happy. Most of all, it’s quiet. Peaceful. A hidden gem where the days are lazy, the nights are starry, and life slows down just enough to enjoy every second.
