View from the backyard overlooking the canal into the lake. Great fishing btw!
Perfect setup for a Workation if you must. Or feel free to do nothing and enjoy!
We have an osprey nesting in one of our trees, so this is a common site.

great getaway
I loved how active the host was on getting back to me and informing me about the property, however the cleanliness of the master bedroom was not where I thought it would be. I understand people miss things but please do a walk through because for the money it should be worth the stay. However it was a beautiful location and lots of action on the water with wildlife. The neighborhood was nice an so were the neighbors !

Captivating Canal View
The interior was lovely and met the definition of Modern Fish Camp. The cottage was very clean inside and had most everything needed except a can opener which the owner brought as soon as requested. Dishes and glassware were in a corner cabinet not well organized but there were more than enough coffee mugs. The glass enclosed lanai could use a good scrub of the window tracks. Also the shed where the folding outdoor chairs were stored had just old plywood covering the opening where a door once hung. Entry to the house was via an app that might be a challenge for older, non tech savvy renters. Overall we felt we made a good choice in choosing this property despite its few shortcomings.

Enjoyed it beginning to end!
We were impressed by the photos of the house and area but were pleasantly surprised to find the house even nicer than those images. The town this property is in, Lake Panasoffkee, is a quiet community, what one might call “The other Florida” free from crowds and traffic. We were completely comfortable during our stay and felt the owners truly had focused on the needs of the renter. It was great having two full baths, a beautiful sunporch, and a well-equipped kitchen. There were many nice touches throughout. One of the other highlights, though, was living right on a canal, immediately adjacent to the lake. We saw more wildlife here than in a national wildlife refuge nearby: anhingas, herons, hawks, ibises and a turtle made their appearances. On several nights, we even heard a barred owl. This is a wonderful, peaceful place for nature observers!

lovely weekend getaway
lovely little home in a super quiet neighborhood. they did a great job updating this little 1960s traditional florida home. so glad they left the walls of windows in the florida room- we spent a lot of time sitting in that space - watching the birds flit around the backyard, frogs jumping into the water and little alligators swimming by in the canal behind the house. this trip, we brought our canoe, and although we could’ve launched from the backyard, we decided to go over to marsh outlet park, which was barely five minutes away. if you take a left at the boat ramp, you can paddle down the inlet to the lake without much traffic. great birding day on the lake too -loved seeing anhinga and osprey catching and eating fish, lots of white egrets and ibis along the banks. we only saw a couple of alligators and turtles. overall, a really great place if you’re looking to get away for a weekend, slow down, and relax. host was really nice, communicative, and made check in super easy. thanks so much!

Quiet and Beautiful
We loved how quiet it was...this is truly a get away from everything. The house was like living in an IKEA showroom...so much fun. The owner was super responsive and really helped us get into the property (we had some tech issues) the only negative was the showers needed some updating but we loved the kitchen.

Lake Pan Modern Fish Camp
We really enjoyed the views from the home. It sits on a canal and is one house away from the lake. The home was very clean and comfortable for the most part. I was not comfortable in the master bedroom, the king size mattress could be updated. There is a great view off the kitchen table area. It would be nice if there was a covered patio space for sitting outside.

About the host

Hosted by Valerie Bogle

Host profile image
I'm a Florida native, I own a photography studio where I love reminding girls of all ages how beautiful they are. In addition, I love living in Florida! As a kid I spent many vacations going to Lake Panasoffkee to escape our busy while that's been so many years ago - I love that not much has changed there, and it still offers the same relaxing and charming feelings it did so many years ago - and I'm excited to get to offer such enjoyment to others.

Why they chose this property

Like I said..I grew up spending vacations on the Lake, and it feels like home. Somehow it has escaped the commercialization that has happened in so many other cities. Its still a place you can go and feel like you can disconnect from it all - and yet still be close enough that you have those options if you want them.
The house is on a canal - only 1 home from the beautiful lake itself - so you can see it as soon as you drive down the street. You can hear the birds chirping, and even yourself is such a welcome change. I think it offers a chance to get away, enjoy Old Florida, and have a chance to disconnect from all that occupies us on a daily basis. And, its all only a few minutes off the interstate - so is so convenient for so many.

What makes this property unique

Its on the water - so bring your fishing poles, your kayaks, your canoes, etc! Within a few paddles you're in the main body of the lake, which is quite large with plenty of areas to explore!

There's plenty of room to spread out, a nice size kitchen to cook in, and plenty of other excursions to experience nearby.
