Awesome, clean, cozy little getaway. I would recommend this place to whoever may be looking to visit families close by in lakewood ranch. Have you own “tiny home” rather cram into a hotel.

This guest house is absolutely adorable! Roxanne provided great customer service and the house had everything we needed. The only thing I would say is the ceilings are only 8 ft with the ceiling fans and lighting in the kitchen hanging down for tall people to easily bump their heads. We learned the first day and ducked under or went around them the remainder of the stay. Just a heads up for tall guests. We enjoyed the comforts of this house and the hosts so much, we won’t let that hinder us from staying again!

Lovely Getaway

The property was easy to get to, very clean and relaxing. I wish we would have planned a day where we didn’t go anywhere because the place was so cozy and quiet. Roxanne was pleasant and easy to work with.
