About this property

'Lotus Point' Lake House Getaway on Four Rustic Acres

Find rest, relaxation, and tranquility at Lotus Point Lake House!

Escape to the lakeside and unwind in the natural beauty that awaits you at your two bedroom/two bath spacious cottage nestled in seclusion on four rustic acres. Three rocking chairs wait patiently for you to take in the beauty and calmness of Lake Consuela. Lay by the lake and listen to the sounds of the Florida country in a Chaise lounge or cozy up to a firepit with a lakeside view. Take the rowboat on the lake for a chance to see Lake Consuela in all her beauty. If you'd prefer 21st century comforts, kick back and relax inside the house with a Firestick and Wifi. This lovely 1,300 square foot cottage (located 12 miles west of I-75), can sleep up to 6 people.

The kitchen comes fully stocked with pots, pans, plates, utensils, a coffeemaker, and a dishwasher.

For fun on the lake, the property comes with a small fishing boat, two canoes, two kayaks, and a paddle boat (please see safety instructions below).

Tranquility

This was more that we could imagine. Very clean, well equipped throughout. We were looking for a peaceful retreat for the weekend and this house was perfect. The morning fog across the lake to the quiet evenings on the screened porch was delightful.

So Relaxing

We loved the property. I have never stayed anywhere that I felt so instantly comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. Plenty of blankets and pillows. Lots of room to spread out. We spent a lot of time sitting by the lake and watching the sand cranes and waiting for turtles to pop up. Don't change a thing. We want to come back for a longer stay.

Floral City - February 2025

We loved the secluded location looking out on a small lake, yet close to riding our bikes on the Withlacoochee State Trail. The interior was clean and adequately furnished. The kitchen was well stocked with anything that someone who likes to cook would need. The owner was quickly responsive to all of our minimal requests. We highly recommend this property!

What a great property!

I could have stayed here for a week without ever going anywhere. What a beautiful piece of property, so peaceful. Loved the various boats you provide. There are several outside areas where you can eat, just watch nature, have a fire in the nice and big fire ring, or even play a board game right by the water. The porch is screened (yay!) and has lots of comfy seating and a table to eat. Great place to sit. The place was clean, kitchen well stocked, beds were both comfy. I would absolutely love to stay here again with the whole family, but there are only two bedrooms, darn it. I assume the TV works, we just never spent any time in the living room since the exterior areas were so nice. I did have two complaints, but the property is so nice that I just couldn't take off any stars: The kitchen and bedrooms are dimly lit and several missing light bulbs don't help. Also, there are three bicycles that seem to be for tenant use, but the tires are flat. Minor quibbles.

Home Was Too Cold

We have stayed in this home before...in the spring when it was warm. This time the outside temp was 42 degrees when we arrived. The heat wasn't on in the house. Everything was cold. The interior temp according to the thermostat was 60 degrees. We are Floridians. That's too cold for us. Worse, the heating system was insufficient to handle cold temps. We found extra blankets and made it through the night, but we paid for three nights and only spent one night there. We arrived on Thursday and left Friday after having dinner with family who live in Inverness. Better to drive three hours home and sleep in a warm house. On the positive side, it's a lovely property, very serene and quiet. The home was spotless and super clean. It would have been a wonderful visit if the house had been warm.

Peaceful

Peaceful and fully equipped. Everything was great. No major issues. The only reason the cleanliness is getting a 4 out of 5 is because I went to wash the few dishes we had dirtied and the kitchen sponges were both gross and unusable. Obviously didn’t use them and found a disposable cleaning pad under sink. Also the guest toilet seat looks horrible. Besides these two things this place was Great and we could totally see ourselves coming back in the future for a peaceful weekend getaway. Hope this review helps.

Could be awesome

The property is spacious and private with a variety of amenities. It needs a LOT of attention. Half of the light bulbs were burned out, downspout fell off a long time ago, most blinds broken to the degree of having slats missing, windows covered in dirt, dead cockroaches under furniture, instead of replacing the microwave over the range, another was placed on the counter - blocking visibility and access to the light over the kitchen table while at the same time lights over the sink were burned out. The owner was very responsive, personable and accessible by phone, and mentioned challenges oreventing him from working on the property. The last night, an animal pulled away lattice covering the crawl space creating quite a commotion - likely a raccoon. Again - this could be a wonderful property, but it needs care. .

Paradise

Paradise at Lotus Point. Everything was wonderful. I had the whole lake to myself to kayak and just chill. House was stocked to make cooking a breeze. TV was easy , too many remotes can ruin tv time. Close to all attractions yet hidden away in a very quiet neighborhood . Must admit you don’t go on holiday on New Years Eve , where I live fireworks are illegal - and there was a party close by , so that is my bad. Other than the cannon fire, it was an excellent time and I would rent again .

Time Away

This was the perfect place for us to enjoy some time away from the rush of everyday life. The view of the lake during the day is beautiful and the stars at night is breath taking. Our teenagers had no problem taking time away from electrinics and getting on the lake to fish or spending time playing board games and coloring on the porch. Our dogs who are seniors spent the whole day laying on the porch. Living their best life. We definately recommend this retreat and it is on our list to return.

Peaceful stay in real Florida

Appreciated the quiet, broken only by the Sand Hill Cranes and nightly frog chorus. The property is very natural with clipped areas for easy walking. We enjoyed day trips in the rural countryside along with stops in Inverness, Crystal River, Floral City and Beverly Hills. Good dining at Lollygagers and fine takeout from the Viet Deli. We are longtime Floridians missing this quieter life that is overrun by development nearer Tampa Bay.

Peaceful and amazing

I came for a short solo get away. I found tranquility. The property is beautiful. The cottage and kitchen are stocked with anything you might need. The lake and the dock were delightful. I fully enjoyed the bird activity, the sunrises and the sunsets. The covered porch was a great place to read and write. The withlacoochee trail is within walking distance and I took advantage of it daily. I’ll be back.

Another great stay at Lotus Point

This is the third year we've spent 5 weeks at Lotus Point and it did not disappoint. We love the location, the privacy, and the great house. Easy access to the Withlacoochee Trail is what drew us here and we enjoy biking nearly every day. Dwight is attentive, friendly, and a great host. Highly recommended property!

There are many options to set up for, a croquet championship, corn hole or badminton tournaments. Guests have caught a variety of fish in the lake.
