Beautiful, Peaceful location

Kristen’s property is absolutely gorgeous. My husband and our little dog enjoyed walking the grounds and visiting with the owner’s horse, Moose. We took advantage of the pool which had a fantastic view overlooking the grounds and water. We visited Venice and my brother in Sarasota. The owner is a wonderful lady with a fantastic personality. If we ever needed her, she was quick to respond.

Cute cottage off the beaten path. Beautiful site on lake manatee. Note this property is adjoined to the host property. This was not a problem but it was not clear when looking to book the cottage. We had a great stay.

Perfect place for all occasions! getaway, solo trip, family, children, dogs!

This place is amazing! I was impressed with how well the host made this home fit for every type of getaway whether it is a solo trip, a vacation with family and friends, if you have kids or dogs, etc. She thought of everything someone may need during their stay to make them the most comfortable. Her thoughtfulness is evident in every detail of the cottage and around the property. The location is far enough to feel like you are on an island but only 10 mins from the city. The views from the property are gorgeous and comes with an enclosed yard for dogs and a playset for kids. This really is a perfect place to be!

Kristen, thank you so much for having us on your beautiful oasis!

This property is such a beautiful oasis! It is the absolute perfect place to get away as well as work! The place is even more beautiful in person! From the gorgeous grounds of luscious green grass, vibrant tropical flowers, shell walkways, heavenly trees framing the lake view perfectly, to the country cottage with its stunning view and a large pool with a deck to soothe the soul and relax, to inside the immaculate cozy cottage that is so inviting & tranquil. Not only is there so many places on the property to spend time in whichever capacity you would like (reading, relaxing, meditating, writing, etc) but I even had my own yard that my dogs absolutely loved and a playground for kids to play on! I also loved feeding snacks to Moose the horse and petting the lovable calf Precious. My words fall short on all of the incredible things to say about this enchanting place. I am so blessed I found it and I loved it so much I even extended my stay! Thank you Kristen for being so lovely and creating the absolute dreamscape as well as being so gracious & amazing :)

Great for dogs

Kristen, the host, is fabulous. This is a great place to travel with your dog(s). Close to Lakewood Ranch but far enough to feel out of all the hustle and bustle. We would’ve used the pool more but we had poor weather during most our visit.

We had a wonderful but short stay at the lake. It was so peaceful And tranquil and I wish we could have stayed longer. Perfect space for pets also if well behaved.

peaceful location

We had a 10 day stay for NMRA/NMCA races @ Bradenton Motorsports Park. Kristen was a lovely hostess, eager to make sure our needs were met. Grounds were well maintained an peaceful, as well as the "in-law suite". I have stayed at many properties over the years through here and other sites. It was nice that paper goods and spices were stocked for our use. There were also a couple other things left for use if needed as well, that past renters had left behind. Most often in my experience, the owner/cleaning crew clean it out with post rent cleaning. It would've been nice to know beforehand that the cottage were a duplex or in-law suite prior to renting, not just that the owner was on property. We do prefer a little more privacy. Again, nice place, grounds and wonderful hostess. Thanx for a pleasant stay and keep up the good work Kristen!

Country Visit

Just what we were looking for! Many VRBO type rentals are in very crowed areas near the beach etc.....this was quite the opposite and a very pleasant experience. The very walkable property with a pleasant lake shoreline and pier gave an added value to an already great stay. The living area was more than adequate and gave you the feeling of home that is sometimes missing in these places. The owner was available to answer all questions and to assist in a great stay. Don't miss this one!
