The host thinks of all the things to ensure a great stay if you forget something; there are snacks waiting for you, coffee and creamer, toothbrush kit, etc., etc. We had everything that we needed but if we didn't it is a very nice touch. Perfectly clean and well organized, we always enjoy the lake cottage, so quiet and peaceful.
This was the most relaxing quiet getaway. The house was superbly decorated for any fisherman , you could be at your favorite spot on the lake in minutes or relaxing on the back porch. I would recomend this place anytime.ThanksMike & Teresa West
Great location for easy access to Lake Istokpoga. House had easy access to covered parking for our boat and is minutes away from 2 boats ramps. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Would definitely recomend and stay here again.

Thank you for the glowing review Zachary! We love that you were happy with our home as well as the convenience to 2 boat ramps. We hope you will consider our home again for your next tournament on Lake Istokpoga. Happy Fishing!
Excellent property and host. Susie was in contact with me and answered all my questions. I will need to come back in the spring when the fishing turn on.
This place is everything you want in a VRBO. Clean and a great location for a peaceful stay. Caught fish in the canal. Also the kitchen was fully stocked for cooking. Would highly recommend.

Thank you Bruce! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed your stay AND caught fish! Thank you for choosing R Lake Escape.
It was my first experience with Vrbo! The host made it seem effortless! The house was a home! We will definitely be back next year! I loved the tranquility! A great place to get away from it all. I can’t say enough good things!

Thank you for the glowing review Joy! I love that you enjoyed the house and downtown Sebring with all the recent HGTV updates. We loved having you and your friends for the weekend and hope you really do return next year!
Walked in and just felt so comfortable and welcomed. Very clean, everything was provided. Being right on the canal with the boat house was really convenient. Was supposed to go in September but due to hurricanes we had to reschedule and the host was so easy to work with. Communication was exceptional. Will definitely be back.
Everything about this rental was amazing. From the host Susie being so kind and helpful to the location! Everything you could ever need in the home! Super clean, so quiet and relaxing! Even met the neighbor and he was extremely nice and helpful as well. Access to the lake is so convenient . Looking forward to going back and taking the kids this time!

Thank you for your kind words! We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay and found everything as expected. We hope you do get the opportunity to return next trip with your family.
7 days was cheaper than the 6 we needed so check to see if they still have the weekly rate and they had more stuff as far as pans, plates, silverware, toaster, DVDs… than I have in my own house. So check the cupboards if you need something.
Nice quiet area. Great location for the lake and just a few miles from Kissimmee River Ramp. Strongly recommend doing both if you have a boat. Host was extremely responsive. House is great. Neighbors are very friendly. Coming back in a few weeks!!

Thank you for the great review! Glad you enjoyed the house & area enough to come back so soon! Kissimmee isn’t that far so thanks for the reminder!
Susie and Ron are phenomenal hosts! This was our second year in a row renting their beautiful lake home, and it has officially become our favorite family tradition. The house is incredibly spacious and fully equipped with everything you need for a perfect vacation. The kitchen is fully loaded, the bedrooms are comfortable, and having two separate living areas is an absolute lifesaver when traveling with kids.During our stay, the washing machine happened to break down. Susie immediately reached out, came by, and generously offered to wash any laundry we had until a replacement could be arranged. They truly went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and cared for! As always, the highlight for the kids was fishing off the boat dock—we spent hours there making priceless memories with everyone from our 4-year-old to our teenagers. Do not hesitate to book this amazing place. We will absolutely be back next year!
From start to finish our time staying at this home was outstanding. The property owner was in contact well before our schedule time, informing me of any details and even a current fishing report. The home was spotless and very clean. All beds were very comfortable and great A/C witch is nice after fishing these hot days. The location is perfect very close to the boat ramp too. I only regret is I’d wished we had booked our stay longer, this place is the best.
Good, Timely communication from property manager. House as described, close to boat ramp, boat lift worked great. House was tidy and clean. Starter packs of all items needed (coffee, paper towels, etc.) were unexpected and a nice touch.
Brothers and I enjoyed a quick weekend get away. Good access to lake, was nice to keep the boat on the water.

Istokpoga safe haven!
Love this place and the owners. They have always been a pleasure to deal with. We are very fortunate to have found this place and such accommodating people to rent from. My wife is not the biggest fan of my planned fishing trips, but SHE loves coming here. That says something! This is our second year in a row renting and we can only hope to continue year after year. Thanks guys!

Thank you your kind words. We enjoy knowing your wife enjoys staying at our home. Thank you for taking such good care of the house while you’re there. Looking forward to next year.
Awesome stay in a really peaceful place. Great space with lots of room to stretch out. Everything you need is supplied and the house is very clean. Susie was amazing with cimmunication beforehand, answering any questions, and making sure everything is perfect for your stay. The neighborhood is beautiful, quiet, and safe, and awesome fishing right out back (lots of panfish, and turtles come to visit you too). Our experience was great and we could ask for anything more. Dont hesitate to book and be ready to relax, fish, and be extra comfy for your entire stay.

Fishing and Relaxing
This home was perfect for my husband, myself and my parents! It was right on a canal that had a dock with a boat lift; which made it very easy for all of us to get in and out of the boat with out having to load the boat on the trailer each time. The community was very quiet and the neighbors were friendly! My favorite part was seeing the turtle that hung out by the dock that the owners have named "Bill"! I was able to lay on the dock and hand feed him bread! We thoroughly enjoyed our week there and have already booked it again for our anniversary!

Thank you Amber! We look forward to having you back for your anniversary. Bill sends his love too! ☼
Wonderful place to stay. Walk into a very inviting, cozy yet plenty of room home right on the canal. Super peaceful and quiet at the end of the canal. Literally 2 minutes from the dock to the lake and about 7 minutes to the boat ramp via car and boat. Home is very clean with everything you would need for your stay. The owner is a phone call away if for any reason you would need anything at all. Susie stayed in ťouch with us often before check-in to make sure everything went smooth. Super nice and kind person. I would highly suggest this place to stay.

Thank you for your glowing review! I love that you and your husband enjoyed our quiet cozy piece of heaven on Lake Istokpoga. We could barely tell you stayed there making it a treat for housekeeping. You're an owner's dream come true for exceptional guests!
We didn't really have to go anywhere. Put the boats in the water and fished whenever we wanted to. My brother Steve is a chef, so we ate just as good, probably better, than if we had gone into Sebring for dinner. My dad is 80 years old. It was perfect for him. If he didn't fishing he could relax at the lake house. We look forward to coming back again.
