Our family of 4 stayed at the house while visiting Lakeland. It was clean, good neighborhood and close to Tigertown. Loved the decor in the house! The hosts were very easy to communicate with. Will definitely stay her again!

We have stayed at quite a few locations in Lakeland with our daughter going to FSC. I wish we would have found this one sooner! It is clean, comfortable, tastefully decorated and close to campus. The host is super responsive and friendly. We didn’t have any issues whatsoever. The kitchen is small but functional, the dining table was great for our group to play games. All in all a top notch home. We will be back. Thank you.

The Funky Swan Shack is incredible!!! It is so cute and well decorated. They go above and beyond with things you may need---coffee, towels, garbage bags, detergent, etc. you made need. You feel welcome the second you walk in the door. The house has a great backyard and is in a super safe neighborhood. We walked all over the place including restaurants in town. We were there visiting my daughter at Florida Southern and it was an easy walk from her dorm. It is PERFECT. We will be staying there again for sure. Also, the hosts communicated well and were available to help with anything. We didn't need them but it was nice to know they were available.

My family and I stayed three nights at this lovely home so we could attend our daughter's graduation from FSC. We loved everything about this home, from the location to the beautiful trees surrounding the home, and to the great customer service from our host Austin. There is ample parking in the front and rear of the home for about four cars if needed. We would definitely stay here again when visiting historic downtown Lakeland.

We enjoyed being able to walk to Lake Morton, a nearby coffee shop and library, the fish stand, and being in a family friendly neighborhood.
The house was comfortable for everyone.

It is a lovely cottage. We are 3 upper 70 ish ladies and it was great overall. Loved the lake and the birds! Only negative is the living room furniture. Cute but highly uncomfortable to spend an evening. ! Thanks

It was really a lovely, clean, convenient place for us to stay. My one complaint is the bed in the "master" suite. It is impossibly soft, uncomfortable, squeaky and desperately sags in the middle. Replace that bed and you've got 5 stars, hands down.

We love staying at this property! It was highly themed, which made it very fun and inviting and feel like home. It was more roomy than we thought, and gave us easy access to all of Lakeland, Orlando, and Tampa!

Lovely Lakeland Cottage
We really enjoyed our stay at the Funky Swan! It had just what we needed for our time in Lakeland. We loved walking to Lake Morton and grabbing a bite to eat at Black and Brew. Everything was clean and comfortable.

Little Gallery House
The property did not disappoint based on the description and pictures. From the entrance all the way through it was spotless and in excellent condition. There has been a tremendous amount of thought and detail taken on this property to make this not just a beautiful little gallery,like, house reminiscent of a mix of Lakeland, Austin, Savannah and Asheville. but most comfortable, functional and charming. It is an excellent place for a short or long stay as it has a very nicely equipped kitchen. We used the ac/ heater and it works well. Totally enjoyed the location close to walk to two restaurants, little essentials store, Polk Museum of Art and beautiful Lake Morton. A a little further, wonderful walk to the Frank Lloyd Wright Gift Shop Geico. From there one can continue through to the beautiful Florida Southern College campus and continue on to the wonderful path along Lake Hollingsworth.
Parking is excellent. It is close to downtown and many other stores but if was so nice in the house and the walking didn't do much driving. The hosts were especially very accessible, responsive, generous and kind. Enjoyed the comfortable furniture decor and rainbow themes!
