Relaxing Getaway

We stayed here for a Florida Gators football game. It was nice to get back to such a peaceful place after all the activity. We didn't want to leave, wish we could have stayed longer!

Cozy Spot

Cute, quiet, and great for a couple just needing a night or two away from everything and everyone. Location is a little remote so grab snacks before you head in for the night. House was very clean and the lake view in the morning with our coffee was fantastic.

Great Lake Cottage

My husband and I spent the night here while passing through. It was so clean and cute. They really thought of everything. So quiet too. Nice and relaxing place to stay. The owners were great with communication too. They made the stay so easy.

Cozy, quiet and inspiring lake front retreat.

We had a wonderful visit! The cottage looks tiny from the exterior images but it has amazing spaces. There is not bit of wasted space in this cute cottage and every inch tastefully finished. There are several outdoor seating areas - the back gazebo is amazing. Our last morning was heavy rain, we set at the office lake front window enjoying our coffee & the view. I wished that I was a writer with that view as inspiration!

Exceeded my expectations!

Wow! Such an absolutely beautiful property and the views are spectacular. I wish that I could leave photos because the sunsets are stunning. The home was immaculate, and stocked up with more than you can imagine! The owners were quick to respond and I cannot wait to go back here again for my next seminar… I was there in from Thursday until Sunday, and I could’ve stayed there another week.

Nature Lovers Delight

Lake is literally right off the back deck. Hawk flew over the trees and landed on the antenna. Geese landed of the end of the dock. Blue heron fished along the shore. Bullfrogs serenade you. Turtles swim up to say Hi. Home has everything you need,except your food, and has lots of extras other homes dont provide (like laundry detergent and saran wrap.) They also provide a bottle if wine which paired perfect with the sunset!

Das Haus liegt an einem kleineren See mitten in den Wäldern Floridas zusammen mit anderen Feierhäusern bzw. Anwohnerbehausungen. Es ist in gutem Zustand, denn es wurde vermutlich 2022 fertiggestellt. Es ist voll ausgestattet mit Waschmaschine, Trockner, großem Kühlschrank mit großem Gefrierteil, zwei unterschiedlichen Kaffemaschinen, Herd mit Backofen, Mikrowelle und allen Gerätschaften für die Küche. Es hat ein Schlafzimmer mit großem Bett (Kingsize), ein großer Wohnraum mit zwei ausziehbaren Coachen und einem Schaukelstuhl. Weiterhin ein kleines Arbeitszimmer mit Schreibtisch und Drucker. Leider ist der See seit einigen Jahren immer stärker ausgetrocknet (besonders im trockenen Frühjahr/Sommer 2025 wo sehr heiß war und kaum geregnet hatte). Ansonsten ist das Wasser klar und man hat gute Chancen einige Tiere zu beobachten (Fischadler, Wasserschildkröten, Alligatoren, Reiher, etc.). Wenn man davon absieht, dass einige Grundstücke in der Nachbarschaft nicht „einem deutschen Gefühl für Ordnung und Sauberkeit“ entsprechen, kann man hier gut ausspannen. Der nächste (gut sortierte) Supermarkt ist ca. 20 Autominuten entfernt.
