About this property

mid century modern authors architectural pool home now with pool heat!

Unique mid century house furnished with original pieces. Open plan layout suitable for 5 people to stay comfortably. Private garden with inground pool with ample pool side furniture for relaxing and outdoor eating. Located in central Lakeland the house is close to all amenities, grocery stores, restaurants, cinemas and local sites. The house is also close to the largest collection of Frank Lloyd Wright buildings in the world, Florida Southern College. The house is also only a 30 minute drive to LEGOland and a 40 minute to DISNEY. The beaches are approximately 1hours drive away to either the gulf or atlantic coasts. Being fully furnished and equipped with all linens, towels, pot and pans, there is nothing you need to bring. Superfast wifi is available and there is also a TV and cd player. Both bedrooms have queen size beds and the bathrooms have sunken roman baths and step down showers. The kitchen has cooktop, wall oven, microwave and dishwasher. A washer dryer is also available.
The house was designed by Mark Hampton and built in 1957. Hampton was Paul Rudolphs first employee and is part of the Sarasota School or Architecture. The house also features in my latest book 'Living Retro' published by RylandPeters.

An Oasis in a Time Capsule
We came to Lakeland for a wedding and once we walked inside this amazing home we really didn’t want to leave. From the historic artifacts to the meditation pond to the beautiful backyard and pool this was perfect for us. As runners, it was also great to be steps from a 5k loop around a peaceful pond. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay at mid century gem
Absolutely loved staying at this mid century gem. It is a beautiful museum to true retro modern living. Everything was very clean and the backyard is a beautiful oasis with a great pool, lots of trees and birds . The property manager, Rachael, is extremely responsive, helpful and knowledgeable about the history of the property. Great area for walking…. short walk to Lake Hollingsworth and lovely neighbourhood to explore.

Amazing House!
I booked this place after my first booking canceled on me. It was the best thing ever. This place is perfect mid century modern in a fantastic location. It was a very emotionally difficult trip this time, but it was so great to be able to come back to this place every night. My favorite booking in the US so far.

Very Retro
We all loved it. It was very unique and amazing. We go to Lakeland yearly for dance competition and can't wait until next year so we can book there again. It was perfect for what we needed. Very clean, cozy, quiet, and comfortable. The yard was huge with many trees which brought in beautiful birds.

Retro museum
The house was absolutely amazing if you are into retro, it is truly a museum. Every detail has been cur.sated. The pool area is gorgeous. When negative is the bamboo in the backyard is so so messy. The pool is usually messy within hours after the pool cleaner.. Do not expect to cook minimal kitchen overall charming place to stay beautiful in Lakeland.

Just Fabulous
We were in town for an event, which would have just been ok. But because we rented this special place, our long weekend was just fabulous. It was clean, fun, cool and so centrally located. We just loved it. We will for sure be back again next year when we return for the same event. Thank you for sharing this special place with us.

An Absolute Gem!!!
We were excited by the listing as a true mid century modern property. This property exceeded our anticipation! The time and effort that has gone into keeping this as original as possible is amazing. If you enjoy different styles of architecture and a peaceful place to relax, book this property! Thank you to the owners and caretakers for making our stay memorable!!!

A must for the mid century modern enthusiast!
As a return guest, our visit reinforced our love for this property. It is a secluded oasis away from the hub-bub of the busy end of Lakeland and within walking of the wonderful Lake Hollingsworth. Most of all, the experience of the fabulous classic contemporary design of house and furnishings. The pool is so tranquil even if one is just sitting enjoying the ambiance. This is our definite go-to stay when in Lakeland.
