Perfect slice of the north woods in Florida

This cottage was excellent and so calming. Everything was in perfect order, the host was communicative and made my stay amazing. It felt like going up to the north woods in Wisconsin or Minnesota as a kid. Highly recommend this place!

Excellent

I absolutely loved the cottage. It was clean. It looked elegant for a cottage., it was cozy and quiet.. even though it rained the whole time we were there we really enjoyed it. Everything was there that we needed. We didn’t need anything else, she thought of every detail from personal items for women to bug spray to suntan lotion. She thought of everything. She had fishing stuff, it was a great day. I can’t wait to go back.

About the host

Hosted by Kristin Richardson

Hello, it’s a pleasure to host you in my 500 sq ft cottage located on Bay Lake, a private 100-acre ski lake in beautiful Old Carrollwood. Yes, there’s bass in the lake and the sunrises will turn you into a morning person :)

A little about me, I work in IT, I’m a Florida native and certified Myers-Briggs Practitioner. I enjoy gardening, history, learning, cooking and working out. I reside in the main house with my husband Dan and our tiny maltese, Lily only 100 feet away so if you need anything, I’m here.

I take pride in ensuring I provide a ‘home away from home’ experience to my guests. I look forward to hosting you!
