About this property

Cozy Cottage - Close to Everything, Nature Lovers Dream!

Fully remodeled and furnished in 2022 2BR/2BA early 1900's Florida "Cracker Shack." Surrounded by towering oaks, cypress trees, and an on-property paddleboard/kayak launch leading to Lake Wastena. Private gated entrance with separate parking for guests leads to a recently built wraparound porch equipped with a grill, Edison lights and outdoor furniture. Fully furnished kitchen, living room, and bedrooms. Fenced yard for pets and three friendly horses on property that LOVE treats, fenced separately.

If you're in town for an event at The Barn at Crescent Lake/McMicky's Farm, it's a 5 minute walk or a quick drive right down our street as they're roughly 5-properties down from us. Our neighborhood is very quiet with most homes on several acres and beyond friendly neighbors.

This home offers a quiet "Country" feel while being close to nearly everything. SR54 is right down the road with new restaurants, shops, and entertainment opening daily. We're roughly 20 minutes from Tampa International Airport and 25-30 minutes to the beaches in Tarpon Springs, Palm Harbor, and Dunedin.

Short but sweet

We were only in the area one night but we had a nice stay. The owner left carrots so we could feed the horses on the property, and left fresh eggs for us. Cute little updated farmhouse. Would stay again!

Weekend stay

When we arrived at the property we were greeted by the owners, and their precious son along with a beautiful horse and mini horse. They left us fresh eggs from their chickens, and carrots to feed to horses. The inside of the home was immaculate, the decor was beautiful, very comfy feel and they had everything u may need to make your stay easy. Our furbabies enjoyed the fenced in yard as well. Very safe area in a country setting. We loved it. Absolutely recommend this place to anyone and we will be back for our next trip. Thanks for having us!

Old Florida

This cottage was a reminder of old Florida before,the host was extremely responsive at every question ,brought his mini pony for our granddaughter to feed. Cottage had a few minor maintainance things but nothing that affected our stay. Hats off to the host and family,very gracious and kind.

Another amazing, relaxing visit

2nd time staying and it was a good as the first. Quiet, comfortable - far enough away from the hustle and bustle, yet close enough to everything. The hosts (as always) ensure you have what you need to make the most of your visit. Missed the horses this time, so guess we'll just have to return.

Wedding weekend

We had an amazing time, and wish we could have stayed longer. My husband and i got married right down the road at the barn at crescent lake, and this was the PERFECT location. The horses were super nice, the beds were comfy, and the house just gave off a very cozy feel. There was a slight issue with the water, but Dave worked non stop to come up with a solution as soon as we brought it to his attention.

So peaceful and quiet

Definitely a nature-lover's dream - out away from the fray, yet close enough to some wonderful places to grab a bite. Super quiet (ok, cicadas excepted) and very comfortable. And the horses were so much fun! They definitely will not say no to a carrot or horsie treat. The high point for us was hearing a high-pitched whinny and watching the large draft horse (Luke) gallop across the field to indulge in carrots and pets. Dave is very communicative and ensured our stay was optimal and that we had everything we needed. Greatly appreciated. And the farm-fresh eggs made for tasty breakfast during our time in Florida. Highly recommend (ok, maybe not tooooooo highly because we might want to book here again and can't if everyone else books).

Recovering from Hospital

We needed a quite place to stay so that we could drive to Tampa General and come back to rest. This place was perfect. We could not have asked for better accommodations.

Nature's paradise

We chose this little hideaway for solitude, it did not disappoint! We hosted a 4 day training in Trinity and needed the evenings to debrief and unwind after each long day. It was absolute peace. Each evening we were greeted by the beautiful and friendly horses at the gate. The hosts made sure we had some snacks to feed them, and we had farm fresh eggs waiting for us inside! The house was super cozy and clean, tucked away on land away from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet close to plenty amenities for food and shopping if needed. We appreciated that it was dog friendly. Next time we visit we will stay here again.

Comfortable home-away-from-home

We enjoyed a wonderful experience in this cozy cottage. The home had everything we needed and wanted - quiet, relaxing, great amenities (thanks for the eggs!), and close to Tarpon Springs while still feeling remote. The fenced-in yard, with neighboring and friendly horses, was perfect for our dog. We appreciated the electronic gate. Thank Dave ~ we look forward to a future visit!

Terrific Overnight Stay!

What a lovely property! Cute as Christmas Cottage! Clean and comfortable. Of course my favorite part was feeding the horses snacks that were provided. Wish we were staying longer. We were visiting Tarpon Springs. It was about 25 minutes away but worth the drive!
