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.

Worth the money but….
Tub doesn’t drain,
No covers for beds other than a bedspread and the yard needs some TLC.

We loved how close this house was to the RP Funding Center. We were in town for a dance competition and it was super convenient being less than 5 minutes away from the venue. The 1/2 circle driveway made it super easy to park, load and in load our belongings. The inside was very clean and inviting. Loved all of the updates to the kitchen & baths. The decor was beautiful and the bedrooms were comfy.
Will definitely be booking again next year when we are in town for our next Dance Competition. (It is also conveniently located to Publix, CVS & restaurants:)

It's nice we can take our dog.and te yard is fenced it where we put her and doesn't have to be leashed.
The house is just right size.,I lived in Lakeland for 28 years so know the areas but it's sure growing up.
It wasn't far to alot of things.
It was close to see sick brother in law on hospices every day.
We will be back.

Home was extremely clean, updated yet keeping the historic charm. Great location as described for shopping, eating and strolling the neighborhood and park. Comfortable furniture, beds and AC. The large fenced yard, outdoor patio and enclosed front poach were great relaxation zones. Highly recommend this home

Everything was wonderful!
Cutest little home away from home in a quiet neighborhood, close to Everything!
The dogs really enjoyed the back yard.
They thought of almost everything. The only thing we didn't have that would have been helpful was something to put leftovers in.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be coming back again!
