We were celebrating our 25th Wedding anniversary and were surprised by a bottle of champagne in the fridge when we arrived! The kitchen was spotless with plenty of kitchen towels, pot holders and even dish detergent. There is a bright sun room towards the back of the cabin with windows facing the lake....we watched hawks, ducks, herons, crows and many we could not name dive in the lake, perch on the forrest across the lake and nest for the night. We fished in the lake and enjoyed the paddle boat very much. The sun rises over the lake too....very pretty with the morning fog rising. We were not far from Fort Christmas. Well worth the drive....besides the fort there are other log buildings, there are many wood frame homes set up like a village...school house, farm houses and etc. We would recommend this to a friend. I did lots of cooking and the pots, pans, coffee cake pan and dishes worked very nice for a lady that likes to cook.

Tranquility in the midst of a busy Metropolis. If you prefer a quite comfortable relaxing experience when visiting the busy Orlando parks or UCF you will love this charming cottage.

What a great little spot. So shocking that you can pull off of the hustle and bustle of Rt 436 and be here in this peacefulness within a second. Clean and cute and charming and surprisingly quiet. Very thoughtful. Also that there are plenty of things stocked in the house that you always wonder “should I buy or bring?”

My husband, daughter and I have had a fantastic time staying in the cottage. It is a lovely place to stay. The layout is great and I love the porch and deck areas. The neighborhood is quite and the lake is beautiful to watch the sun coming up in the morning. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone.

Great weekend getaway

The lake cottage was thoroughly delightful. The cottage is roomy and has the perfect vibe - relaxing and warm. Decor and design are spot-on. The bathroom is awesome! Spacious and well-designed. Views of the lake from the living room and back deck were perfect. There are covered and uncovered seating areas. The covered carport was SUCH a bonus! Located in a quiet area that's also very close to all kinds of amenities. Plenty of extra towels and toiletries on hand, all the kitchen utensils you could need, ice in the freezer and filtered water in the fridge. Walk in, kick your shoes off and relax. Highly recommend.

Everything from the booking process to the day we checked out and everything in between was phenomenal! The cottage worked perfectly for our needs; close enough to Orlando to meet up with friends but far enough away to avoid the crazy crowds that come with it. Everything you could possibly need was only a mile or so away and once you turn into the neighborhood you feel like you're in a much more quiet and open space to relax and unwind. We enjoyed taking the paddle boat out on the lake, fishing, and grilling on the back deck and spent most of our time in the beautiful backyard overlooking the lake. The cottage has beautiful natural light with large windows and wood detailing that really make it stand out from other places. It was the perfect size for the two of us, spacious kitchen with all the appliances you could ask for, extremely comfortable beds, and every room was decorated with apparent love. The cottage was beautifully kept with attention to detail and VERY clean. This stood our even more because they do allow one approved pet to stay for only $25 extra a night. Unfortunately our dog stayed behind this time but we expect to bring him with us during one of our trips in the future! Last but not least, the host was responsive and friendly and very accommodating. It felt like our own little paradise where we could hide away from the world and recharge. We truly can't wait to come back as soon as we can! Thanks for everything!

The home was perfect for my wife and I to have a getaway weekend. The home is well maintained with a great kitchen and all the essentials. We enjoyed mornings and evenings on the back porch reading and watching the wildlife on the lake. We ventured out one evening to eat at Uptown and walk at Cranes Roost Park, which is only a couple of blocks away. We highly recommend staying at this wonderful lakefront cottage.

Scott and Marilou were excellent hosts. The cottage has personality and felt like home from the moment we walked in. Location and lake view are exceptional.

Wonderful experience. Incredible location. We will be regulars.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this cottage in Altamonte Springs. My 15 year old son was very comfortable sleeping on the day bed in the room right off the back deck. The view of the lake was a wonderful way to start and end each day. While in the area, we were able to easily get to Orlando, Universal Studios, the Kennedy Space Center, and Blue Springs State Park. We were also very close to plenty of stores and food places. Also, the Congo River mini golf down the road was top notch. Inside, the cottage was incredibly cozy. The homeowners had it equipped with everything we needed. The decor was was clean and pretty and it looked as though this little cottage was a labor of love for them. I love older homes because of their character, and this tiny house had plenty of it. Yes, it was small- but it had everything we wanted and was perfectly simple. Listed below are some of the items I found in the cottage that made our stay more comfortable. Plenty of pillows and linens Plenty of extra towels and toiletries Hairdryer Coffee maker and toaster (as well as oven and microwave of course) Wonderful books about Florida Paddle boat Fishing rods and tackle box Grill TV in living and bedroom Wifi Covered parking Soap, shampoo, conditioner dispenser Washer/dryer Good water pressure Large backyard- we played frisbee alot Lots of outdoor seating- we had a shady spot for every time of the day Thanks to the homeowners for keeping in touch and being so available during our stay! We had a great time!

Clean home great location beautiful lake breeze tons of exotic birds and ducks lots of nature simply amazing!!! We will be back asap. Super comfortable great TV. Our family was so happy there best view ever. Comes with a paddle boat. Thanks for everything we will do this again soon. Great Owners!!!! More than we imagined what a great deck with cool lights such a positive trip.

We loved staying here clean beautiful view of the lake we brought our Jon boat an caught bass an alligator gar every day nice fire pit at night an great outside grill the owner Scott was outstanding an helpful with any concerns we had

This lakefront property was just perfect. Scott and Marilou have provided a comfortable home to relax with several extras to make your stay more enjoyable. The shower is nice and hot, the bedding was clean and comfortable and the kitchen was full of appliances, pots and pans. The paddle boat made exploring the lake easier where we saw cranes, turtles, jumping fish bald eagles and more. We definitely recommend and will book again.
