Month Stays Welcome! Lakefront Fishing Cottage |Private Dock | Canoe & Explore Old Florida's Views
Welcome to our cozy and rustic 1940s fishing cottage, nestled at the edge of Walk In Water Lake in the heart of Lake Wales. This charming 3-bedroom retreat offers a perfect blend of rustic charm and everyday comforts, ideal for anglers, nature lovers, or anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life with direct lake access & a private dock.
The cottage features three comfortable bedrooms, two bathrooms - each with walk-in showers - and a fully equipped kitchen & charming dining area to gather around and share special moments. The living area is the heart of the cottage where you can relax, watch TV, enjoy your favorite novel or Scrabble time with the kids. The decor is comfortable and reflects the warmth you'll find within the cottage. Enjoy your morning coffee sitting on the dock with serene views of the surrounding nature, or cast a line for a day of fishing on the lake. You're welcome to bring your own boat, use our canoe as well or we can recommend local rentals for you as well! There is a boat ramp less than 5 minutes away!
Whether you're here to fish, boat, explore the local trails, birdwatching or even do a bit of stargazing or just simply unwind, the camp provides a unique and peaceful retreat. Conveniently located near local attractions and amenities & surrounded by a State Preserve, it's the perfect base for your Lake Wales adventure and exploring a bit of Old Florida!

The water is safe for showering, cooking, making coffee, and brushing your teeth. For drinking, we recommend bringing bottled water if you prefer.
For the safety and enjoyment of all our guests, smoking is strictly prohibited anywhere on the property. This policy is in place due to our proximity to a state preserve and the heightened risk of wildfires. We kindly ask for your cooperation in maintaining a safe and smoke-free environment. Thank you for your understanding and respect for these important safety measures.
NOTE: Please be advised: For your safety and security, exterior video surveillance (driveway & front porch) is in use. Tampering is prohibited.
