Truly enjoyed our stay with our family and friends. The beach area was the perfect spot to fish off the dock and beach our boat and jet skis. The large fenced in yard was perfect for our dog. He enjoyed the beach just as much as the kids. House was clean and accommodating for the 9 of us. Plenty of room to spread out to eat and enjoy the sunsets on the back porch. Definitely recommend and would come again.

Paradise Cove

We had an amazing time. The house is lovely. We didn't want for anything. The view of the cove and lake are breathtaking. We had so much fun fishing, canoeing, kayaking, sitting on the beach, and watching the sunsets. We definitely recommend this as a getaway. Looking forward to booking again and bringing our adult kids.

Beautiful Sunsets

We needed a vacation location close to our home so we could travel back and forth to feed our daughters show animals. This home fit perfectly for us, and allowed us to bring our pups with us. There are a few neighbors close, but it still feels very private which we enjoy.

Great experience

This was a very nice rental property on a beautiful lake. We enjoyed our stay. Renting a pontoon boat a couple of days, definitely a plus. Nice fenced back your for our furry family members. Rebecca our host, was exceptionally helpful. Overall, very relaxing vacation experience. Although we try to experience different places, we would highly consider booking this property again.

Tranquil and relaxing

The Lake House is a wonderful location to retreat from a typically hectic 50 hour work week for some rest and relaxation. The home is older, but extremely clean and furnished beautifully. The rooms are large and the kitchen is well furnished. Having a private beach and dock is amazing. I recommend the Crooked Bass for a delicious meal. We did travel to Lake Wales to tour Bok Gardens which is not far away. I would highly recommend The Lake House for a quiet getaway or a family gathering. Loved it!

Thanksgiving 2021

This property was exactly what we were looking for. We rented it to have our children and grandchildren under one roof for Thanksgiving. Everyone enjoyed fishing off the dock. Our grandchildren (2 & 4) loved playing in the sand and in the water. The property was very clean and presents just as it does in the listing. The owners were easy to reach with questions. The perfect getaway spot. Definitely would stay again.
