We so enjoyed the dock, the sunshine and the wild life. Our hosts were welcoming and gave us good recommendations about nearby restaurants. The guesthouse was clean and roomy enough for two. A quiet, peaceful retreat.

NICE, SPOTLESS LITTLE COTTAGE, JUST AS ADVERTISED
I am a single traveler who needed a place to stay close to Tampa. This unit was exactly as advertised. This is an efficiency unit and the description was exactly correct. The unit was very clean and organized and plenty spacious for one couple. Check in was absurdly easy. The place seems very safe.

Great getaway!
The property was perfect for us! Exactly what we wanted! The cabin was private and clean. Although it's on the same property as the hosts' residence, you would never know it! We had full use if the dock for fishing or just sitting with our coffee in the morning. We caught a lot of fish!! It was exactly what we needed!

Peaceful and cozy cottage
This cottage was the perfect place for our honeymoon. We got the opportunity to take a canoe out on the lake and fish to our hearts content. The owners are sweet and exceptionally hospitable. Everything here was spotless and beautifully maintained. The brand new top level sunset deck exceeded our expectations and made the view that much more incredible!! I wish I could give this place 10 stars because they truly deserve it. 10/10 would stay here again!

AWESOMEEEE
My wife and I needed a place to stay for the tail end of our trip and we decided to stay here. I’m familiar with the area since I relocated from here but I never knew about this hidden gem! It was a gorgeous property on the water, they had fishing rods and a nice deck set up to either cast some lines, enjoy coffee by the water in the morning, or even grill out and eat next to the lake. Cherri and her husband were amazing hosts and super responsive. 10/10 we would come again

Great stay with many “bumps”
The owners were very nice and attentive to our needs. It wasn’t as relaxing as we had hoped . The main house, the garages, and the cottage where we stayed got new roofs. Very noisy. The owners did the right thing and refunded our money for the 2 days the cottage roof was being replaced. We wish we could have spent more time on the property getting together for happy hour with Frank & Cherri.

A glimpse of paradise...
Visiting my friends in the area, I found this gem nearby. This cottage is at the end of a barn, home, and garage half-circle that is down a secluded street. Cherri provided me with all the information needed and quickly responded to any of my questions. With that info, I let myself into a cozy studio cottage with a welcome area. The kitchen was nice. No stove, but the supplied hot plate is more than enough for cooking on vacation, lol. The bed was a comfortable memory foam mattress and pillows with a 55-65" TV on the opposing wall. My favorite part of the bathroom was the shower. It was about 60" made of stone and tile. Definitely getting one for my home. To be honest, I never wanted to stay at a rental that was on the owner's property. I'm afraid I would feel like I'm invading their space. Because of Cherri's place, and now knowing what to look for, I'm pretty confident that won't happen. :) P.S. The only thing I didn't like was not having time to take advantage of the backyard amenities. This will be resolved the next time I visit the area. :)

About the host

Hosted by Cherri Prince

Host profile image
Our family loves living on this beautiful lake and we love to have guests stay in the cottage. We moved here in 2008 and immediately fell in love with this property. My husband wanted to raise our kids the way he was a lake where you can fish, swim and kayak the day away. I am a writer and author of a children's book called Lollipop Seeds that Sprout for Kind Deeds. Hence the name, Lollipop Cottage!

Why they chose this property

This almost 2 acre property is often described as a resort. Our goal is for guests to feel like they are staying in a park, with lush green grass and tropical plants to a gazebo (perfect for our kids wedding someday!) a lakeside hammock and even a zipline. Relax and renew yourself.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the sunsets over the lake. We've had the best conversations over a glass of wine in the gazebo. We travel a lot on business so we designed the cottage interior to match what we love about the best hotels we stay in---flat screen tv, roomy sitting area with plenty of sun, comfy bed and of course coffee.
