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.

We thought it would be fun to stay for a few nights in a house that's a time warp, and we were right! Andrew and Rachael ensure that the property is just as it might have been in the 1950's or 1960's. Yes, there are a couple quirks like low shower heads, but the opportunity to experience the authenticity of a house like this is worth it. The three mile walk around Lake Hollingsworth is one of my favorite things in Lakeland, and you can also walk to the hip new chicken place from the house. Rachael was friendly and helpful, and we really enjoyed getting to show the house to my 80-year-old relatives in Lakeland who remember when this style was the new hip thing. Thanks!

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.

The pics are true in that you will be taken back to mid 20th century. This means that the furniture and decor is great to look at but non functional. The bed mattresses might be a whole 6 inches thick. Left 4 days early because we just couldn't take it any longer. The pool sits under a huge tree and bamboo plants. Trying to keep it clean enough to use was a nonstop job. Pool company had to come 3 days in a row to eliminate the green water. Pool side furniture was dirty and again uncomfortable and ready to fall apart. The dorm size refrigerator was a ridiculous addition to the retro house. Trips to the grocery store every day was a must. Outlets were not handy, had to put coffee maker in dining room. And do not plan to plug anything in with a ground without a 2 prong adapter. The washer needed to be repaired and i will say that the best thing about our visit was the responsiveness of the property manager. She responded to our questions and provided what she was able to in a very timely manner. She displayed a concern and understanding of our disappointments. All in all the only good thing i can say about this property is the fantastic location.
