Excellent across the board
Communication with Ellie was seamless and quick response. Check in was a breeze. Didn't need communication after check in because everything was perfect. We thought it was very well appointed and cute inside. The amenities inside were very sufficient leaving us to want for nothing further. Beds are great quality and comfortable. The grill needed to be manually lit but burgers were good just the same. The outside was comfortable as well with the expansive deck and reclining chairs. The openness of the view was peaceful at night to relax to after running around each day. The sounds of nature abound here. Unfortunately, we were only able to Kyack out to the lake our last night. It was such a relaxing paddle through canals to get to lake but so relaxing. Hard to believe I know but no negative here. Did see 1 gator, no snakes. Our Golden was bummed because he couldnt dive off dock into water but he loved the HUGH yard and walks through quiet neighborhood. Thank you Ellie and Gary. Tom

Spring Break 2024
Had a great stay. Owners were very friendly and helpful. We were looking for a place that we could bring a boat and enjoy nature while also being close enough to big cities if we wanted. This location was pretty much directly between Tampa and Orlando and gave us the flexibility we were looking for. We saw tons of wildlife on the lakes and rivers and enjoyed ourselves greatly!!

Birthday Getaway on the water
The house is close to town and several great restaurants. Very clean and nicely laid out with lots of space. Both bedrooms were very comfortable, two tv areas with big screens and screaming internet. My 18.5’ IO boat got through the canals going to the big lakes which are 21 miles of connecting lakes. Fishing and exploring are the best in the area.

Relaxed getaway
We stayed for the month of January. The cottage was perfect for the two of us. Very clean, central location to attractions and sights in the area. Shopping very close. Sitting in the sunshine on the back deck looking at the wildlife was a favourite activity. The host was excellent!! We enjoyed our stay very much.
