About this property
The Hidden Gem in historic Lake Helen. Next to Cassadaga & downtown Deland.
Nestled in a beautiful paved and gardened backyard space. My 640 sq/ft private cottage is behind my home in the small quiet town of Lake Helen, only a mile off of I-4.
The cottage is filled with all the amenities that will make you feel at home.
The cottage has one queen bed and the sofa bed is perfect for children. Also a pack and play for little ones.
The cottage is perfect for two but will suit 4.
The cottage is located in my back yard behind my home, surrounded by a 7' vinyl privacy fence.
There is a large screened-in porch on the front of the cottage, with an overhead fan.
Guests have access to the entire back yard, gardens, and water feature.

About the host
Hosted by Jennell henderson

I am from Cape Cod Mass, lived here for 8 years a La a child and moved here when I my daughter turned 4. So I have been here longer and consider myself a Floridian.
Why they chose this property
I absolutely love lake Helen its small town atmosphere reminds me of the cape. The little events we have make it feel homey here.
What makes this property unique
My Little Gem is hidden from the main road spacious with beautiful gardens. I have tried to make my yard like my favorite story growing up the secret garden. It’s a lot for one person but it’s what I love to do.
