Exactly what I needed for my stay. Calm, Quiet, and comfortable. I was in Tampa for an intensive certification class nearby and was looking for a seclusive getaway to rest in the evenings. This was the perfect place.

Absolutely amazing stay from first day to checkout! Host was wonderful! The place was spotless and beautiful! After long days at Busch Gardens it was so quiet and relaxing! Just sitting on our private dock watching the wildlife and enjoying the lake. If your visiting Tampa this is the place to stay!

This cottage was excellent and so calming. Everything was in perfect order, the host was communicative and made my stay amazing. It felt like going up to the north woods in Wisconsin or Minnesota as a kid. Highly recommend this place!

I absolutely loved the cottage. It was clean. It looked elegant for a cottage., it was cozy and quiet.. even though it rained the whole time we were there we really enjoyed it. Everything was there that we needed. We didn’t need anything else, she thought of every detail from personal items for women to bug spray to suntan lotion. She thought of everything. She had fishing stuff, it was a great day. I can’t wait to go back.

I really did not want to leave. I travel a LOT and this is one of my favorite VRBOs I’ve stayed at. Came to Tampa to visit family and actually, extended my stay. It is serene, clean, aesthetically pleasing .. a little hidden oasis with wild bunnies and plethora of birds and greenery. Kristen is lovely and so easy to communicate with. Selfishly, I’d love to keep this place a secret so I can stay whenever I am in Tampa. I will be back and I feel I’ve made a friend for life. Thank you Lori P

Kristin is a great host! Easy to communicate with, vert responsive, yet you have all the privacy needed for you & your travel buddies. We are a family of 4 with 2 young boys & we all loved the cottage. The boys loved it so much they wanted to move in! Extremely clean, beautifully decorated, & has everything you need to cook a meal, relax & enjoy nature. There are even wild rabbits living in the bushes, so cute! It's close to a lot of restaurants, breweries, ZooTampa, the aquarium & many more great places & attractions. Highly recommend this little gem!

My wife and I stayed at this beautiful private cottage tucked away in Tampa. It was our 8 yr anniversary and I was looking for a quick getaway for us but we couldn’t be too far from home (had to make sure our children - 🐈 were ok) our usual pet sitter was unavailable. So the Location was perfect - and can I tell you how cool it was to pull into the gravel driveway get out of the car and open the tan gate that feels like it transports you to another place. The walkway , the view out to the private lake and the cottage itself were all outstanding . To top it all off Kristin (our host) was incredible. Her attention to detail is impeccable, the overall coziness of the cottage , the colors , the decor , the music playing when you check in.. it was all perfect. In addition to that , she remembered that I mentioned it was our anniversary and she wrote the nicest welcome/congratulations card for us and also comped us a bottle of wine ! Too much 😊. You can’t go wrong staying here , if you’re looking for a quiet , private , enchanting location that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into an alternate universe (in a good way) you won’t be disappointed.

What a peaceful spot. Kristin was extremely hospitable during our stay. The back house was immaculate, had everything we needed, was quite, off the beaten path in the center of a neighborhood that had everything while getting a beautiful lake view. We would stay over and over if we are back in Tampa. Thank you so much for having us!
