NICE, SPOTLESS LITTLE COTTAGE, JUST AS ADVERTISED

I am a single traveler who needed a place to stay close to Tampa. This unit was exactly as advertised. This is an efficiency unit and the description was exactly correct. The unit was very clean and organized and plenty spacious for one couple. Check in was absurdly easy. The place seems very safe.

Great getaway!

The property was perfect for us! Exactly what we wanted! The cabin was private and clean. Although it's on the same property as the hosts' residence, you would never know it! We had full use if the dock for fishing or just sitting with our coffee in the morning. We caught a lot of fish!! It was exactly what we needed!

Great place and location. However there was no hot water in the kitchen and no soap/shampoo in the shower. I bring my own anyways. But it did list them in the amenities as having.

About the host

Hosted by Cherri Prince

Host profile image
Our family loves living on this beautiful lake and we love to have guests stay in the cottage. We moved here in 2008 and immediately fell in love with this property. My husband wanted to raise our kids the way he was a lake where you can fish, swim and kayak the day away. I am a writer and author of a children's book called Lollipop Seeds that Sprout for Kind Deeds. Hence the name, Lollipop Cottage!

Why they chose this property

This almost 2 acre property is often described as a resort. Our goal is for guests to feel like they are staying in a park, with lush green grass and tropical plants to a gazebo (perfect for our kids wedding someday!) a lakeside hammock and even a zipline. Relax and renew yourself.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the sunsets over the lake. We've had the best conversations over a glass of wine in the gazebo. We travel a lot on business so we designed the cottage interior to match what we love about the best hotels we stay in---flat screen tv, roomy sitting area with plenty of sun, comfy bed and of course coffee.
