Lakefront Cottage,Boating, Fishing, pet friendly, internet

Rates are based on 2 people. Additional people including children are $15 per person per night. Pet fee is for up to 2 dogs, additional fee for extra pets

Enjoy a getaway vacation in this wonderfully decorated 1958 cottage. This house has been fully renovated and professionally decorated by Velvet Cabbage in a relaxing cottage style. You will be amazed by the before and after pictures. The queen-size bed in the master bedroom has two side independent air adjustable beds (by Anderson Beds), so you can set it to the way you like your bed.

The back-deck overlooks Church Lake and connects into the large Tsala Apopka Lake system. If you love to fish, then you will be in your element. There is a small dock that can accommodate a bass boat or other small boat. The 'Rails to Trails' bike path is only 100 feet from the driveway where you can walk or bicycle the entire 46 mile trail. There are bikes available for your use. The cottage sits on one acre and provides a quiet and secluded escape.

This is part of the old Florida, which has natural springs and moss covered trees. Numerous natural spring parks are located less than 1 hour drive. Enjoy manatees, fishing and wildlife. It is absolutely beautiful. 29 minutes to Rainbow Springs and 20 minutes to Crystal River, Three Sisters Springs, horseback riding in Ocala

This is a natures getaway where you can bird watch and enjoy all the other wild life that abounds in this area. Homosassa and Crystal River are close by for more wild life viewing. There is nothing better than sitting on the deck and listening to natures orchestra that plays every night from the lake.

This area is offering new and upcoming businesses of wineries and breweries that showcase local talent. Copp Winery and Brewery, Whispering Oaks Winery, Lakeridge Winery, plus many more!

The house is located one hour from Disney World and one and a half hours from Tampa. It is close enough to the Florida attractions but away from the traffic and crowds. There are numerous golf courses located nearby and including some championship courses.

This is the perfect place for a week or a month. Ask about a monthly rental discount; escape the cold winter and come to Florida for much less than a hotel room.

Super cozy, very relaxing, off the beaten path. This was exactly what I wanted. I wanted to be away from the city, somewhere I could get away from it all. The area was very pretty and the trail being so close for me to walk my dog was awesome. Tim and Marianne were very nice and Tim gave me ideas of places to eat and things to do while I was in the area. I would definitely stay there again.

Absolutely wonderful

Another great stay at the "yellow cottage". We love the cottage, its location, and quiet comfortable layout. Marianne and Tim are great hosts, and are always looking to make sure you have a wonderful stay. After a long morning of biking, coming home to a well equipped kitchen for some lunch out back by the lake, is just perfect. Thanks and we will return.

Beautiful quiet home

This home was better than expected! The house is beautifully decorated and spacious. The bed was super comfortable bathrooms large and clean. The yard was amazing for my dog to sniff around in, so much space! The fire pit was a great treat when the temperatures dropped. The Withlacoochee Trail was steps from the driveway. There were tons a great parks right around the corner and Publix/Winn Dixie are a 7 minute drive away. I absolutely loved this house and will be back soon!

Peace and Tranquility

This place is perfect for people that just want to get away, see a different part of Florida than the beaches, take a bike ride, listen to birds while drinking coffee on the deck and just unwind. Decor is very cute, beds are comfy, kitchen is fully stocked, kayaks and a canoe if you want to go out on the lake and being so close to the bike trail is so convenient. It's an easy 2.5 mile ride into town if you want to have a bite to eat or drink, but I mostly just read, sat out on the deck and enjoyed the quiet. I will be back here.

Christmas

We loved this little place. Didn't get to enjoy the river it was 24 degrees in the morning and highest temperature. Did go for a bike ride and did a puzzle. I wish the main bedroom had some type of shades because I am light sensitive. We slept in the other room which was a comfortable bed. Looking forward to going back soon.

Perfect peaceful getaway!

The property is just what the pictures show except for a few minor things. We loved the property location. Right next to the trial. We were in Floral city to ride with our Recumbent club and the house is right near the property! The kitchen was well equipped the beds were comfortable the house was very clean. We enjoyed canoeing on the lake and nights by the fire pit with friends. The owner was very responsive. The only things that were not as pictured were the dock was slightly underwater at the time we were there and the outdoor furniture could use replacing. Overall we had a fabulous time and would return to this property again!

Wonderful cottage for nature lovers

We loved the Yellow Cottage! It had everything we needed and wanted: a complete kitchen and was decorated as a delightful cottage, it is right on an inlet that connected to a large network of lakes and rivers, kayaks and canoe, porch…plus bikes and it’s right off the Withlacoochee State Trail for biking and walking! We were there in the spring and THOROUGHLY enjoyed seeing the Sandhill Crane family and Limpkin family on the little “island” in the inlet, and while out paddling we saw deer, a Barred Owl, Osprey, etc. It was perfect, and the owners were very communicative the couple of times we had questions prior to arriving. There is also a very complete handbook. We definitely recommend!

Cute Cottage but Uncomfortable

The cottage is in need of some maintenance. Mostly cosmetic, (coat of paint, power wash outside mold, replace weather stripping on the exterior door) but all of this if not addressed, detracts. We experienced strong musty odors inside of the cottage when we arrived. This was diminished with turning on the heat or air if required. The living room furniture is incredibly uncomfortable. The bikes furnished had inoperable gears. We had a great time in Florida, regardless! *We would not return to this rental, however*iinincrediblyununconfortableuncomfortable.

Fun Florida bungalow on the lake

This two bedroom, two bath bungalow was just as advertised. The kitchen was well-stocked with pots, pans, silverware, plates, glasses and appliances. The place had a good size table that we were able to entertain friends and family at dinner. The lake was peaceful and the property was well-taken care of. We will try to stay again if our schedules align.

Property was very nice, on a lake, quiet, relaxing, only a short distance to restaurants, parks, running/walking/riding trail, shopping, and churches. Easy in, clean, nice long lot, trees, greenery, with house that was comfortable and had a large kitchen, washer & dryer, back porch, and porch swing down near the lake... Very nice indeed... Thanks so much for the visit...

Peaceful and Lovely

Literally perfection for a girls quiet vacation. I would love to come back and stay again! The kitchen was very well equipped, I read through the instructions and had no issues with check in. Loved being able to bring our Jon boat down from the public boat ramp to explore the lake system. Didn’t see a single Gator which was nice! Outside was great if the weather was a bit cooler so I would like to go back in the fall. There is a winery and where you can also get a steak dinner on the weekend about 25 mins away. The decor was beautiful and the beds were very comfortable. I liked having the washer and dryer and dishwasher accessible. I will say to be aware that it’s not a smooth paved path from the car to the front door so you will need to more so carry your belongings but it was fine. It’s rustic and quaint perfect for being one with nature while still having the charm of a cottage.

Nice stay

Roomy. Clean. Well stocked kitchen. Large yard. Great location with easy access to major roadways. The claw foot tub in the main bath adds to the vintage cottage feel, however, it may not be for everyone as it is quite the step up to get in and out of.
