Relaxing lakeside cottage

We loved the quiet, relaxing ambiance of this lakefront cottage with serene views and all the amenities needed for our stay. It was a short commute to the Lakeland Sun n Fun air show and we enjoyed that event as well as our comfy rental at the end of the day. Our favorite part was breakfast on the screened in porch overlooking the lake. Delightful.

Beautiful Lake Cottage

House was very clean and very comfortable. Kitchen was well appointed. Nice surprise to have some coffee and snacks available upon arrival. Adam was very pleasant and communicative. The back deck views were just gorgeous and we enjoyed the sunrise and sunsets immensely. Overall a great stay.

Comfortable, peaceful, very clean home

This lovely cabin on a beautiful lake was perfect for our family. It was great to be able to wake up and sit on the deck by the lake and see otters at play and enjoy the peaceful setting. The home was very clean and comfortable and the owner was very easy to communicate with. There was even a special, personalized welcome waiting for us when we arrived. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there!

Road Trip

Very clean, love the electonic locks so you don't have to keep up with a key, wonderful view of the lake. Neighbors were a little noisy revving their cars at nightwhich is not the owners fault, but otherwise a great place

Peaceful Serenity

This was a great location for our family. The house was very clean, instructions were clear, and everything that one (or a family) would need was provided, including a first-aid kit, which we needed. It's a very peaceful place right on Lake Agnes. The TV even had a feature that would notify you when the laundry was complete. Highly, highly recommend Polk City BBQ which was about a 4 minute walk right around the corner. Only issue here is we wish we could have had more success fishing but the kids still loved it! Great place!

Beautiful location and wonderful stay at this property

When we arrived, we were immediately so happy with this property. The location was perfect for our family. We brought our fishing gear and caught some nice fish right from the dock. The dock system allows great access to both sides of the water which extends over Lake Agnes. There is a screened in upper and lower deck. The house is spacious and was well appointed. We had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Adam was very responsive to our questions. We enjoyed beautiful sunrises and sunsets as the house faces primarily southerly. We had a GREAT lightning show on our last evening and enjoyed watching the birds flying and landing nearby. Thank you Adam! Kevin & Sandy

Wonderful relaxing setting!!

Enjoyed relaxing on the covered screened deck. Right on the lake. Kitchen and entire house was well stocked. The host was responsive and helpful. Only thing I would change is new carpet and add a second exit as a safety measure.

Beautiful lakefront getaway

This home is absolutely amazing! My family and I spent Christmas there and it was awesome. Waking up in the morning, walking out on the porch that overlooks the lake was breath taking. We will for sure be back.
