About this property

Lake View Howell Cottage on Crooked Lake

The Howell's lake view cottage on Crooked Lake was built in 2003, with an architectural feel of the 1920's. Located on a quiet road, it seems worlds apart from city life, but it's within an easy drive to larger cities such as Lakeland, Winter Haven, Tampa, and Orlando.

With a spacious front porch overlooking Crooked Lake, our upstairs Cottage has the feel of a private, luxurious tree house. The open living area floor plan with windows overlooking the lawn and lake makes it seem much larger than 1,100 sq ft.

The living room has comfy seating for TV viewing, reading, or conversation. The dining area and adjoining kitchen, with an eating bar, have lake views. There are two bedrooms, each with Queen beds providing serene comfort. The fully equipped kitchen and laundry room add convenience.

The Cottage has an ensuite half bath, and a full bath off the hallway.
