About this property
Modern Conveniences with Old Florida Charm
A hidden gem in Central Florida, Lake Panasoffkee still offers old Florida living at its finest. Free of all the busyness life often brings, enjoy a serene and tranquil setting on beautiful Lake Panasoffkee, where you can get away from it all, yet still be close enough to many amazing attractions if you want to step it up a bit. Fish from the backyard, mingle with the locals and enjoy yourself in our lovely modern, yet charming Old-florida home.
Just to note, our home is set up and stocked for 2 guests, and additional people are always welcome — up to the maximum of 6 guests total. Each extra guest is $20 per person, per day, which helps us cover added utilities, supplies, and the extra time our cleaners spend preparing the home. Since our cleaning fee stays the same no matter how many people are in your group, this keeps things fair and ensures the house is fresh and comfortable for everyone.
To keep things safe and consistent, all guests and visitors need to be included in your reservation. The property is also equipped with exterior security cameras for peace of mind. We kindly ask that there are no unauthorized visitors, large gatherings, or parties during your stay.
Thank you for helping us keep the home enjoyable for all our guests — we want you to relax, have fun, and make the most of your time here!

great getaway
I loved how active the host was on getting back to me and informing me about the property, however the cleanliness of the master bedroom was not where I thought it would be. I understand people miss things but please do a walk through because for the money it should be worth the stay. However it was a beautiful location and lots of action on the water with wildlife. The neighborhood was nice an so were the neighbors !
Nice location if your primary interest is fishing.
If you are looking for a place to stay w the guys this is a good option. If you are looking for a higher end place for you and your spouse, this may not meet your expectations. .
We so enjoyed sitting both inside and outside watching the bird life in the canal and in the neighborhood. The decor of the home is appealing and we had all that we needed. Communication with our host was very good. We would stay again!
This little lake cottage was perfect for my family. We were in town for my nieces wedding and Valerie was so sweet. Her home was warm and accommodating and had everything we needed to be happy and comfortable during our stay. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!
We loved how quiet it was...this is truly a get away from everything. The house was like living in an IKEA showroom...so much fun. The owner was super responsive and really helped us get into the property (we had some tech issues) the only negative was the showers needed some updating but we loved the kitchen.
Several of my friends and I stayed here while visiting KP Hole. A bit of a drive due to our poor planning but it was nice to ride around in northern Florida. Beautiful property, very clean and the owner was very responsive and helpful with anything I inquired about. Will be back for sure!
We were impressed by the photos of the house and area but were pleasantly surprised to find the house even nicer than those images. The town this property is in, Lake Panasoffkee, is a quiet community, what one might call “The other Florida” free from crowds and traffic.
We were completely comfortable during our stay and felt the owners truly had focused on the needs of the renter. It was great having two full baths, a beautiful sunporch, and a well-equipped kitchen. There were many nice touches throughout.
One of the other highlights, though, was living right on a canal, immediately adjacent to the lake. We saw more wildlife here than in a national wildlife refuge nearby: anhingas, herons, hawks, ibises and a turtle made their appearances. On several nights, we even heard a barred owl. This is a wonderful, peaceful place for nature observers!
The interior was lovely and met the definition of Modern Fish Camp. The cottage was very clean inside and had most everything needed except a can opener which the owner brought as soon as requested. Dishes and glassware were in a corner cabinet not well organized but there were more than enough coffee mugs. The glass enclosed lanai could use a good scrub of the window tracks. Also the shed where the folding outdoor chairs were stored had just old plywood covering the opening where a door once hung. Entry to the house was via an app that might be a challenge for older, non tech savvy renters. Overall we felt we made a good choice in choosing this property despite its few shortcomings.
lovely little home in a super quiet neighborhood. they did a great job updating this little 1960s traditional florida home. so glad they left the walls of windows in the florida room- we spent a lot of time sitting in that space - watching the birds flit around the backyard, frogs jumping into the water and little alligators swimming by in the canal behind the house. this trip, we brought our canoe, and although we could’ve launched from the backyard, we decided to go over to marsh outlet park, which was barely five minutes away. if you take a left at the boat ramp, you can paddle down the inlet to the lake without much traffic. great birding day on the lake too -loved seeing anhinga and osprey catching and eating fish, lots of white egrets and ibis along the banks. we only saw a couple of alligators and turtles. overall, a really great place if you’re looking to get away for a weekend, slow down, and relax. host was really nice, communicative, and made check in super easy. thanks so much!
A nice place to stay for our short visit. A little confusion with the check in process but overall very good. Thank you for finding and mailing our item we left behind!
Excellent sleeping experience. Recommend upgrades to bathrooms; a new refrigerator or adjustment to the door; addition of a washer and dryer unit; and a dock. Nice home stay concept. You have done well with your smart improvements to the Property. Thank you.
We really enjoyed the views from the home. It sits on a canal and is one house away from the lake. The home was very clean and comfortable for the most part. I was not comfortable in the master bedroom, the king size mattress could be updated. There is a great view off the kitchen table area. It would be nice if there was a covered patio space for sitting outside.
