The Lakeland House
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Walk to everything from this cozy cottage located right in the heart of Lakeland's Dixieland Historic District! All three of the town's most popular and centralized lakes are just a short stroll from home, as are the iconic Frank Lloyd Wright-designed buildings on Florida Southern College's campus. Enjoy exploring the historic district while taking in the sights around town and making your way through charming cafes, shops, and eateries. Family-friendly Bonnet Springs is just a short drive away, and Tampa and Orlando each offer easy day trip opportunities if you're looking to hit the theme parks.
When you're not out and about, take a load off on the screened porch or stretch out for some leisurely outdoor living in the large, fully fenced-in backyard. A deluxe Blackstone grill sets the stage for family barbecues.
While vintage charm abounds around the home's exterior, the interior is a model of modern design and comfort. Unique touches throughout the home serve to showcase and highlight the city's local businesses and landmarks, adding an added depth of local flavor. A full suite of stainless steel kitchen appliances makes it easy to whip up all your favorite home-cooked meals. An updated sofa and smart TV are ready to welcome casual downtime. Updated bedding and a smart TV in each bedroom provide an added dose of private comfort and convenience. Home essentials include central air-conditioning, free WiFi, and a private washer/dryer.
