About this property

Central Florida Crooked Lake Cottage

The Central Florida Crooked Lake Cottage was built in 2003, with an architectural feel of the 1920's. Located on a quiet country road it seems worlds apart from city life, but is within an easy drive to larger metropolitan cities such as Lakeland, Winter Haven, Tampa, and Orlando and the events and activities there.
With a spacious front porch overlooking Crooked Lake, our upstairs Cottage has the feel of a private. luxurious tree house. The open living area floor plan with windows overlooking the lawn and lake, makes it seem like a much larger space than 1,100 sq ft. The living room has comfy seating for TV viewing, reading or conversation. The dining area and adjoining kitchen, with eating bar, have views of the lake. There are two bedrooms, each with Queen beds providing serene comfort. The fully equipped kitchen and laundry room add convenience.
The Cottage has an ensuite half bath, and a Full bath off the hallway.

Why they chose this property

Crooked Lake is one of the most pristine lakes in Florida. As a family destination, it is ideal for swimming, waterspouts and fishing. Crooked Lake offers sport fishermen a challenge for Large Mouth Bass, and Crappie.

What makes this property unique

There is opportunity to observe lots of water fowl. We frequently see Sandhill Cranes strolling past or gliding overhead. Wood Ducks and Florida Mallards are in abundance. Eagles and Osprey sour overhead and dive for fish.
