Great pet friendly spot

Owners thought of everything for a great stay. They have a large fenced in yard that our dog loved. Hosts were friendly and very accommodating. Location was good. Lots to do in Tampa, St Pete, Tarpon Springs, Dunedin and Clearwater.

Best Guest House!

We truly enjoyed our 2 month stay at the guest house. The house was beautifully decorated and equipped for our family of three, dog and three cats. Loved fishing on the lake, playing with the donkeys and goats, and relaxing. Laurel and Wesley are very friendly and helpful, definitely would stay again.

Odessa Fl. Malfini Cay

This location was just perfect for us. Off of the beaten path but within 10 to 15 minutes of activities and very nice restaurants. The guest house is perfect, quiet and functional with all of the amenities. This was a working vacation for us, we set up an office and the internet was excellent. Laurel was a great host and we will definitely come back here in the future

Cute guest house on a small lake

We really enjoyed our stay here. The guest house is part of a larger property. It has been recently remodeled and is very nice. They have thought of everything they we could have possibly wanted to enjoy our stay. The owners are very accessible for any quick requests. We brought our dog along and that worked well, too. Thanks for a great week!

Peaceful & Beautiful

We had a really nice February at this place on the lake in Keystone Florida. Laurel was a very friendly and good hostess and took care of all of our needs. The house is very updated and nice. Our dogs were walcome there and we were very comfortable and every need was met. I will go back and I'm planning to next year.

The Farm

The property was just as described. The host was courteous, affable and just a fun person. The animals were fun, well mannered and such a variety of personals. Our dog, obviously a very pet friendly place, was absolutely overjoyed to meet the goats, the donkeys the sheep and chickens as well as the host’s 2 dogs. All in all we spent a most relaxing and enjoyable month at the farm and will be making plans for a return visit.

Best Place Ever!!

We have been spending the winters in Florida for many years. This Cottage was by far the absolute best! We really enjoyed relaxing on the deck in the early morning looking out at the lake. In two months I fell in love with the donkeys, goats and Lambe the sheep. Laurel was an excellent host and came to be a great friend by the time we left. We didn’t want to leave. The cottage was immaculate, the bed was so comfy! Meeting the renters in the lake house was an added bonus. Sitting together enjoying the evening was a great way to end the day. Odessa is quiet and beautiful yet so close to Tampa, Tarpon Springs, Dunedin and other fun places. Laurel‘s dogs, Zuri and Lola.were very well behaved and got along great with our German Shepherd. Can’t wait to go back. Next time I may never leave!

Perfect stay at a wonderful lake cottage

We have been traveling and staying at many unique places, however, this was the best of all. Laurel and Wesley were the perfect hosts. Both went out of their way to make our visit perfect. Wesley even put up a dog run so our lab mix could stay outside with us when we were enjoying the Florida weather. Laurel knew everything about the local area and provided us with many useful tips. I would be amiss if I did not mention they were not the only gracious host. We were met at the door and walked to our van every time we left. Lola was a great host and a wonderful guide. Of course, it may have something to do with the milk bone treat she received, but that is a story for another time. If you have the opportunity to visit theTampa area check on the availability of this site.

It’s perfect!

We found everything exactly as expected and more! The property owners are wonderful hosts and have thought of everything. The guesthouse is tastefully decorated, spacious, clean, and the setting is, oh, so beautiful. I traveled with my son, daughter and our dogs. We were very comfortable and had everything we needed. From our first moment on the property, we felt welcomed and couldn’t have asked for nicer accommodations and hospitality. We loved meeting the animals too! Our only disappointment was not being able to spend more time there. As stated before, it’s perfect!!!
