We needed extra space for family during the holidays and this was the perfect place. Cozy little space in a quiet secluded area. Easy to get to from Wesley Chapel which was where the rest of the family was. Hosts were easy to reach and check in several times to make sure everything was running smoothly with our stay.
The crown "jewel" with our trip to Florida, was vacationing at this darling cottage. Immaculate with all amenities provided. Jennifer is a gracious hostess and made sure our needs were met. Sweet and quiet location but close to shopping and sites of interest. ofinterest.
First timers here, visiting family nearby, and the comfy cottage really lived up to its listing. It was so comfortable and inviting at the end of each day to drive down a country lane to modern and comfortable conveniences to relax and rest. Owners were very friendly and professional, communicating quickly about details and offering assistance settling in to the cottage and area. Hope to return!
Just as described. A very homey and tastefully decorated vacation spot. Country setting but close to shops, dining, and main roads. Well appointed kitchen and appreciate having access to streaming services. Host communicated well. Easy check out tasks.
Country setting you turn down the road you can wave at the cows. Turn down the driveway drive between the trees with the Florida tree moss hanging down. Sitting on the front porch and listening to the birds. Close to where we needed to be to visit family.
It is the perfect place to stay for a relaxing, secluded get away. Just right for a couple, plenty to do in the surrounding area and near by. Looking forward to returning. The host was wonderful. The house was perfect.
We had an amazing time. The property was wonderful, and in the perfect spot for what we had planned for our trip. The owner was very friendly and available for anything we needed. I’d definitely stay here again.
The property was modern, clean and quiet. Still, a short drive, (1/4 mile maybe) put us close to all the stores and services we wanted as part of our vacation. We would gladly stay here again. Highly recommend!!
This place was more than what I expected. It was quite relaxing and secluded as well as clean. We came to visit our children that live nearby and enjoyed the time with them in the cozy cottage. We cooked and watched TV and enjoyed each other’s company with no problems. It was a nice home away from home.
Enjoyed our week at this quiet little home. Was in town working on my private pilot license at the local airport. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and the close proximity
to Tampa, St. Pete and Clearwater. Will visit again when I’m in Zephrhills
Property was exactly as advertised: very quiet & peaceful, but close to everything in town. Clean, comfortable and well-equipped. We enjoyed the BBQ and having a fire in the outdoor fire pit. Despite the unusually cool & wet weather, we had a good holiday. Would definitely stay again!
Perfect for my mom and I. We came and went to basketball games and worked out at the El Pasco YMCA( less than 10 minutes away). After our running we found the house comfortable and easy to relax in.
Couldn’t have been more satisfied with everything when we arrived. Off the beaten path, secluded, a great little getaway. Jennifer was great. Could not have been a better vacation
Great little one bedroom, one bath home in a country setting in the middle of town. Clean and comfortable perfect for two. Was a great home base for visiting the Zephyrhills area and family. So much nicer than staying in a hotel.
This cottage was just perfect for two people. Very clean, nicely furnished and decorated. It was the perfect home base for us as we were visiting various areas for the week. Don’t hesitate to book this if you enjoy quiet, casual and peaceful surroundings!
Tastefully decorated, super clean and comfortable cottage. Host is quick to answer and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The cottage is in a beautiful, serene spot, but be aware you'll need to drive slowly up the road to avoid potholes. I'd definitely stay again!
The accommodations were as expected: Cozy, Clean and Convenient to shopping. Also, the convenience of the main roads nearby was a plus. And, the host could not have been more gracious.I was looking for an affordable place to stay, so that I could attend and celebrate my niece's College graduation.I'm happy to say that this place checked off all the boxes. Except for the fact that I was travelling alone (and, as convenient and affordable as this place was), I didn't feel quite safe. Maybe because it was a little off the beaten path...dirt road, and kinda in the woods? I felt the need to return and get back inside before it got dark, so I had to intentionally cut my evenings short.This review is in no way a negative remark or attack on the host or the clean property.This review is coming from a 60-plus-year-old woman who felt the need for a little more assurance regarding safety in the surrounding area.I wasn't comfortable that there were camping trailers, as there appeared to be a campsite area just to the left of the house.Perhaps that should have made me feel safer, but it didn't.Again, if you are travelling with a companion, or are braver and younger, then this place is PERFECT!I would certainly choose to stay again, but next time I will bring extra security with me...like a bar or a stick, to secure the sliding door off of the living room..
This place was more than I expected! A cozy little cabin tucked away from everything but minutes from anything. Definitely a home away from home. Jennifer and Greg are fantastic! They were informative, accommodating and very helpful. Highly recommended!

About the host
Hosted by Jennifer Hagler
My Name is Jennifer and I grew up on this property spending weekends here and then living here after I grew up. My late mother purchased the house in 2017 to have as quiet getaway in her later years of life. I have chosen to offer this to travelers now as a relaxing getaway while in Florida. My husband and I hope that others can enjoy it as much as she did. That is why it is aptly named "Jewel's Hideaway".
