Odessa, Florida
Fully remodeled and furnished in 2022 2BR/2BA early 1900's Florida "Cracker Shack." Surrounded by towering oaks, cypress trees, and an on-property paddleboard/kayak launch leading to Lake Wastena. Private gated entrance with separate parking for guests leads to a recently built wraparound porch equipped with a grill, Edison lights and outdoor furniture. Fully furnished kitchen, living room, and bedrooms. Fenced yard for pets and three friendly horses on property that LOVE treats, fenced separately.
If you're in town for an event at The Barn at Crescent Lake/McMicky's Farm, it's a 5 minute walk or a quick drive right down our street as they're roughly 5-properties down from us. Our neighborhood is very quiet with most homes on several acres and beyond friendly neighbors.
This home offers a quiet "Country" feel while being close to nearly everything. SR54 is right down the road with new restaurants, shops, and entertainment opening daily. We're roughly 20 minutes from Tampa International Airport and 25-30 minutes to the beaches in Tarpon Springs, Palm Harbor, and Dunedin.
My in-laws from Poland enjoyed their nine-day stay here, and the glimpse it offered them of old Florida--with a swamp filled with cypress, a pasture with several oaks, three awesome horses, and access to a lake behind the property. The home was clean and a nice place for us to gather each day after exploring the Tampa Bay area.
Awesome property. Exactly as advertised
My family stayed here for a wedding. We just needed a place to crash and be able to cook our own meals and this by far exceeded expectations! We arrived to farm fresh eggs and even wine from the owners. In the morning we met the horses and fed them the carrots that were in the fridge. We had enough space to host dinner for other out of town family, which was a great way to relax and catch up with everyone. Everything was clean and comfy. Such a great getaway!
We had a wonderful stay. The fresh eggs were a wonderful surprise!!! The horses were fun. I had to work and my parents stayed at the home. Plenty to cook meals and grill out Perfect stay
Very clean peaceful property. Owner maid check in very easy. Would definitely go back again. We came in for a Tampa Bay Buccaneers game for a weekend stay. Property is very close to everything you would want. Plenty of good food, downtown Tampa isn't far.
Great property, cozy house.
The pictures do not do this place justice. Cute, clean and relaxing cottage. Having the horses right outside the window and welcomed you every time you came home or outside.. They provided carrots and treats for the horses, which was a nice treat. Absolutely enjoyed our stay. The kitchen had what we needed to cook our meals. Dave was always quick to respond to any questions. Check in was easy and the cottage was very clean. Keep in mind the water is on a well and will have a little sulfur smell. The cottage is out the country but yet very close to stores and restaurants. Very dog friendly. I would highly recommend this property. We will definitely be back.
If I can give a 10 out of 5 stars, I would. This place looks like it came straight out of a fairytale with a magical surrounding. We love to wake up in the morning listening to all the birds singing, having our cup of coffee on the deck and enjoying looking out to the little forest on the side of the house. All three horses are so lovely, we love to see them in the morning and give them treats. Even though it feels like you are in a forest, this place is so close to all the beaches, shops and restaurants. We also love paddle boarding out to the lake, we laughed so hard racing back we almost fell into the water. So much memories have been created here!!! Thank you so much for hosting us Dave. You are incredible host!
It was great! No problems at all! Just like back home.
Very quiet and peaceful! Great location! Had a wonderful stay
This darling farmhouse is in the perfect location for anyone needing to be in the Tampa area. Groceries, fuel, restaurants and shopping are minutes away but you feel like you are out in the country on this peaceful farm! We drove to Tampa for sightseeing, and it was only about 30 minutes. We enjoyed the property and especially the friendly horses! The owners are super sweet and we enjoyed our stay. We recommend this property!
We enjoyed our stay at this cottage. The horses were a nice addition. My left a couple suggestions for you to take into consideration. Overall, a great place!
Beautiful
My boyfriend and I decided to skip town during Gasparilla weekend and this cabin in Keystone was the perfect getaway. Cozy inside and out, it has everything you need. We loved spending time with the 3 horses on the property, and the owners provide carrots if you’d like to give them a treat (and boy do they like treats). We didn’t get to take advantage of the lake for fishing or paddle boarding, as the weather was rather windy and chilly during our short stay. But we loved the time we had here and we will definitely return in the future!
Loved our stay, hosts very accommodating! The little thing mean a lot shampoo,conditioner,body wash much appreciated since we forgot ours! Love ,love,love the horses will miss Luke,Mango and Bumble ??
The cottage was everything we could have asked for and more! Dave was very accommodating and easy to get into contact with. The horses on the property were super friendly! We would definitely stay again!
Great place to stay
Adorable, charming property. Excellent host. Would stay again!
It was such a lovely surprise to not only be greeted by three friendly horses, but to see Welcome cookies and Welcome treats for our dogs too! This renovated cabin is too cute for words and filled with extra comforts that show the owners go above and beyond to ensure their guests' comfort. You'll walk in to a spacious living area complete with the latest technology and safety features. There are books, movies, games, and extra touches like additional throw blankets. Water bottles were stocked in the fridge and there was even a large tub full of carrots for the horses. Both bathrooms are fully stocked and amenities like cotton swabs and cotton balls are examples of their gracious hospitality. The front shower was AMAZING and the bed was firm but soft, definitely a comfort to sleep on! The decor is sparse but lovely and quite fitting. The owners were so communicative with us about favorite places to visit. I was incredibly grateful for such attention to detail! But my favorite part... believe it or not.... was they made their house rules into a script-font display stand that blended into the decor as opposed to a gawdy notebook with capital letters and highlighting like we've encountered before. The cabin is close to many amenities but we felt we could relax, slow down, and enjoy the scenery. We are hopeful to return to this lovely home one day and we cannot say enough good things about the property and our stay. We were incredibly lucky to have had this experience there.
Very nice place to stay and relax.
