Wonderful cabin. Owner is working on some suggestions we made. Good fishing and the boathouse is a great place to relax. Very quiet location. Cows were good neighbors. .
Relaxing spacious cabin away from the crowds and a short drive to the beach and fun spots. Sit on the huge front porch and look at the trees, lake and wildlife (and a couple cows). Stores and golf nearby.
Upon arrival, first thing husband did was check out the lake. Rented this specifically so he could fish. The boat had no oars and were told use canoe paddles. No way can you maneuver a boat with canoe paddles! She then stated we could use the kayak however the seat in kayak was completely rotten out so couldn’t possibly use. Then I went inside to use restroom and the water from sink smelled awful. Asked husband to come inside thinking it was just me. He almost vomited from the smell. No way could we use water for drinking, doing dishes or bathing. Finally after contacting vrbo received a full refund, though at this time was very difficult to locate another rental for a months stay. Fortunately we we did locate another vrbo rental and could continue our additional month in Florida.
Everything was wonderful. The cabin was as expected. The property was more than expected. Beautiful. Heavenly. The moss on the trees. The sun glinting on the lake. The welcome home moos from the cows. On top of that it was centrally located to do day trips to many different activities. Hoping to return!!! P.s. Owner was so wonderful.
This quaint cabin and lovely wooded, lakeside property provided the perfect respite for my husband and I and our four cats as our home was being renovated. The large acreage, tall oaks and calming lake view provide a uniquely charming old Florida experience. We fell in love with the two resident cows on the property and enjoyed the native wildlife including owls, hawks, wild turkeys, bunnies and my husband even saw an otter in the lake. The air conditioned boathouse served as the perfect, peaceful office for my husband who works remotely. The little office area in the cabin worked perfectly for me. The cabin is cozy, relaxing and welcoming full of positive energy. Floor to ceiling heart pine, a large stone fireplace, and skylights provide it with a warm, inviting charm. Carina was a gracious host who was always easily accessible, accommodating and attentive while still providing us with privacy throughout our stay. Thank you Carina for sharing your warm family property and story with us! If you are looking for a natural, beautiful old Florida setting to unwind from the hectic pace of everyday life, this cute cabin on the lake among the oaks provides everything you are looking for and more!
We needed a place to stay with our dog for a few months after selling our house and the cabin was ideal. Truly a beautiful and relaxing getaway in the midst of the Tampa metro area. Those who enjoy wildlife will be treated by views of great horned owls and hawks, and a variety of birds. And the boat house was an amazing place to relax and enjoy the views.
Carina provided a wonderful getaway for us when we were in between homes. The cabin, beautiful property, and friendly cows were much more than we ever expected! Thank you for allowing us this much needed restful interlude Carina.
Of vrbo’ s 5 star rating system we’d give this place a 10. Complete peace & quiet with close by amenities.
A nice quiet retreat. A peaceful walk in the morning on the back five with my dog. Relaxing on the porch. The cows on the property were a delight! In the country but close to everything. No more than an hours drive to anything in the Tampa area.
Cabin is beautiful, sitting on the front porch with the view of the lake is great for relaxing
