Lakeside Cottage Review

I chose to stay at the lake house because of the 5 star reviews, descriptions of the property and proximity to my family. The moment I walked on to the property, I was greeted by my hosts, the house and the lake. The property is beautiful! I was surrounded by many varieties of palm trees, cypress trees and the serenity of the lake. It is truly stunning with so many options for indoor and outdoor meals, quiet moments painting and kayaking. I awoke every morning rested and restored after a good nights sleep on a comfy bed with quality linens and towels. The hosts, Jon and Lauren, were attentive and responded immediately to my questions and requests. A truly perfect stay! I highly recommend staying at the lake house.

Just what the doctor ordered

I wanted to find a tranquil place for my sister to heal after her second breast cancer surgery. This was absolutely the perfect spot! Jon was a wonderful host and if a house could hug, this one did!… and the views, spectacular. Thank you Jon for sharing such an amazing place.

Amazing

This was the best VRBO we have ever rented. Great location-peaceful-quiet. The kitchen was fully stocked with glasses, dishes, pot and pans and much more. All you need to bring is your clothes. Our grandkids enjoyed fishing from the dock. Jon and Lauren are the best host. They went above and beyond. We will be back.

Simply Amazing

We highly recommend this property. We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful location . The house is stunning and cozy. The property is gorgeous. We spent a lot of time on the deck watching the sunsets, fishing, kayaking and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. Jon and Lauren were beyond accommodating. They left a gift basket for our pup, a welcome Easter basket for our stay, and often checked in on us during our visit. We cannot say enough amazing things about this property and the hosts. We will definitely be back!

Perfect!

Since I hate to repeat myself, a quick google search came up with 66 synonyms of PERFECT. And they all could be used to describe the Lake Lodge. So here’s my review: House - Beautiful Property - Gorgeous Amenities - Unmatched Owners - Fabulous Thing to do in the area - Superb Fishing - Too good to be true Kitchen supplies - Beyond compare And so on! We stayed at the Lake Lodge for a month to escape a Minnesota winter. The house was comfortable, and stocked with everything we needed. Owners, Jon and Lauren, are responsive, considerate and just great people to get to know. The setting is park-like!! Quiet, peaceful and absolutely beautiful! You will not find a better place to stay. We will be back!!

Everything but the boat

We were looking for a home and needed short term rental. We did stay over 30 days in this lovely A frame style lake house. They were so kind to provide us with a dog basket with goodies for our pup. They had everything already thought of including detergent for washer , cleaning supplies for our longer stay, extra toilet paper, and goodie baskets in the kitchen including coffee pods and coffee syrups. They regularly checked on us and made sure we were enjoying our stay. The dock was lovely to enjoy and they had extra fishing rods and kayaks and canoes. The landscaping on the property and the plants were all beautiful and well maintained.

Amazing Lake Getaway

We needed a tranquil place for 2 months for my husband to recover from a stem cell transplant within a 30 minute drive from Moffitt Cancer Center. This was the perfect place. It is on a dead end drive, so no traffic noise. There are neighbors but the closest house has no windows towards the lake house and there is a privacy fence. You can't see the other neighbors homes. The grounds are just spectacular. They are lush with thick grass, intricate flower beds and were so very well maintained during our stay. There is a fire pit with seating, an outside patio dining area, and a dock with a sitting area. Kayaks and life vests are provided in case you want to enjoy a few hours on the water. We were unable to make use of these, but our visiting family did. Our grandson actually went fishing and caught fish. The house itself was very comfortable. The furniture including the master bed was great. I used the washer and dryer frequently on the sanitize setting. The house was easy to keep clean which was important to our situation. We stayed on the ground floor. Some of our family visited and used the upper floor including a game room with a big screen TV for video games. The dining and living room have a wonderful lake view. My husband spent most of his time in the living room watching the lake. Birds and squirrels are abundant. I saw deer hoof prints at the edge of the lake. There are a few boats as well as a car boat. Jon and Lauren were the best hosts!!

Amazing lakefront property and home

We had a wonderful stay. We were in town to celebrate my moms 102 year old birthday and couldn’t have found a better home to enjoy. The grounds were amazing with a mixture of old oak and large assortment of palm trees. Both giving a feel of old Florida. The home was lovely and professionally decorated. The views were amazing and the owners so friendly. We are looking forward to a return visit.

Cottage on the Lake

The lake and cottage were just what we were hoping for and were just as pictured. The cottage was well stocked with anything you could need. Jon and Lauren were wonderful hosts and were always available if we needed anything. We spent most of our time out on the dock fishing or just enjoying the beautiful surroundings. We had a wonderful, relaxing stay and would highly recommend it to everyone.

Outstanding lakefront property

We spent two months enjoying this beautiful lakefront property. It is everything the pictures show and more. Every detail was attended to with kayaks, life jackets, beach towels, air hockey, and firewood all made available for our use. The home was immaculate and the hosts were gracious, attentive, and accommodating. We cannot recommend this property enough.
