This is our second time staying at this wonderful location. The host is welcoming and very response. The home is clean, comfortable and many small amenities are in place for your stay. We look forward to our next trip and staying here again.
This cottage provides quiet & peacefulness just a stone’s throw away from the highly trafficked commercial area. The host provides EVERYTHING you could need in a stay away from home! Clean & well stocked. Communication was always timely, kind & helpful. (Be sure to pay attention to the host’s directions, not your GPS!)
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.
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!
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.
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!!
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.
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.
Jennifer was easy to work with and the house was great. Very clean, well supplied and comfortable. Right in the middle of everything we needed to get too but also private and quiet We look forward to coming back again.
If you are looking for a quiet little home away from home this is your place! Has everything you need for a vacation getaway! After a long day of being out you can come home to your own little place and not have to worry about anyone else being around or being noisy! This was our second stay here and will definitely be back!
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.
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
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
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!
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.

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".
Why they chose this property
The property has been in my family since the 70's and wanted to keep it and let others enjoy it,
What makes this property unique
Nestled in the middle of town, most people dont know the property even exists.
