    I have family in Lakeland and this property was close and meet all our needs. The amenities with games and a pool made our visit with our grandkids a great experience. I would recommend this place to anyone who has a need to stay in Lakeland.. It is a great location close to stores in for us. It was close to my family that I was visiting. Great experience would rent it again.

    My husband and I stayed here to celebrate my son's graduation from FSC. It was close to everything and was super special and quaint. We loved the outdoor area and the historical furnishings. It had everything we could have asked for and more! It even had a koi pond in the back yard and we found the property to be super tranquil and inviting! It was also located in a quiet residential neighborhood which we loved. We had coffee outside and got to see the birds and listen to them chirping.

    MCM is not really my aesthetic, but I can appreciate quality materials, form and design, which the place has in spades. It’s not a rumpus room filled with thin paneling and vinyl furniture. It’s actually a 68-year-old who skipped the fillers and facelifts because she didn’t need them.Things to love:•A backyard out of a Slims Aaron photograph•I have never seen this much Blenko and Bischoff glass in one place•The closet full of Russel Wright crockery so beautiful•All of the original appliances work! There are two modern small fridges and a chest freezer•The neighborhood is nearly silent day and night•The terrazzo floor feels amazing on your feet and looks brand newQuirky things:•The shower head height is about 2 feet shorter than standard install today, it's tricky the first time you use it•Pea gravel drive. I personally love it, but there will be some that won’t •The bed was a tad too firm for me•I travel with extension cords and used both in this houseAfter you get past feeling like you are in a museum and really start “living” in the house you can appreciate the timeless materials and craftsmanship that went into the home and why it was worthy of the careful continued care. I work for a week in Lakeland each April and this home is at the top of the list for a return stay.

    We came to Lakeland for a wedding and once we walked inside this amazing home we really didn’t want to leave. From the historic artifacts to the meditation pond to the beautiful backyard and pool this was perfect for us. As runners, it was also great to be steps from a 5k loop around a peaceful pond. We would definitely stay here again.

    Absolutely loved staying at this mid century gem. It is a beautiful museum to true retro modern living. Everything was very clean and the backyard is a beautiful oasis with a great pool, lots of trees and birds . The property manager, Rachael, is extremely responsive, helpful and knowledgeable about the history of the property. Great area for walking…. short walk to Lake Hollingsworth and lovely neighbourhood to explore.

    I booked this place after my first booking canceled on me. It was the best thing ever. This place is perfect mid century modern in a fantastic location. It was a very emotionally difficult trip this time, but it was so great to be able to come back to this place every night. My favorite booking in the US so far.

    The house was absolutely amazing if you are into retro, it is truly a museum. Every detail has been cur.sated. The pool area is gorgeous. When negative is the bamboo in the backyard is so so messy. The pool is usually messy within hours after the pool cleaner.. Do not expect to cook minimal kitchen overall charming place to stay beautiful in Lakeland.
