Gary, thank you for your review and for your kind words about our responsiveness—we truly appreciate that. We’re always glad to be there quickly when needed to make sure your stay goes smoothly.
Regarding the 10am checkout, that is actually the most common standard across vacation rentals and helps allow enough time to properly prepare the home for the next guests. We do our best to accommodate late checkouts whenever possible, but in this case we had another arrival scheduled that same day. We apologize for any inconvenience and truly appreciate your understanding.
We hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future!
Misty, thank you so much for the kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the views and the property. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime.
Had a wonderful, quiet, private stay with our family on Lake Magdalene. Owners were as always great hosts. This was our third stay with them and hopefully not our last. Would highly recommend if you enjoy privacy and nature.

Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re so happy to hear you had a relaxing stay with your family and enjoyed the peace and privacy of the property. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly appreciate your kind words. We’re already looking forward to welcoming you back next winter!
We stayed at Adriana’s place while our home was undergoing renovations, and it turned out to be the perfect retreat. Adriana was a fantastic host, quick to respond and incredibly accommodating. The house itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed to feel comfortable and at home.What really stood out was the setting. The property is so private and peaceful that it’s hard to believe you’re still in the middle of Tampa. The views of the lake are beautiful, and the many windows throughout the home make it feel bright and open. We loved the charming touches - like the café lights, long driveway, and even the chickens roaming around - that give the property its authentic “farmhouse” feel.It was exactly what we needed to escape the chaos of renovations. Even though we live less than 1/2 mile away, we could absolutely see ourselves coming back for another stay.

Mike, thank you so much for taking the time to share this—it truly means a lot to us. We’re so glad the home could be a peaceful retreat for you during what we know can be a stressful time with renovations. It’s great to hear that you felt comfortable and at home, and that you enjoyed the little details and unique character of the property.
It’s always special to hear that the setting provided that sense of escape, especially being so close by. We’d absolutely love to host you again anytime you need a getaway, even if it’s just right down the road!
We enjoyed our stay at his beautiful lakeside farmhouse very much. Location was great and the views were beautiful. Enjoyed the sunset by the lake each night. We had everything
we needed. Wonderful peaceful location away from the hustle bustle.

We stayed here for Christmas 2023. It was such a gorgeous home. Right on the lake, huge property, and a chicken coop with free eggs. The hosts were extremely responsive and so kind. Kitchen fully stocked and location close to everything.

This property is amazing! The host is very attentive and very friendly. We enjoyed watching sunsets each night just across the lake. Our kids couldn’t wait to fish on the dock each morning. We really loved our first family trip after my husband returned from his latest deployment.

Perfect setting for a tranquil vacation. We stayed during the week before the 4th of July and we enjoyed fireworks over the water! The kitchen table is in a perfect location - you can fully see the outdoors while being in the comfort of the air conditioning! I wish we lived here!

We had a truly wonderful stay at this amazing home! The property was spotless and welcoming upon arrival. Everything was as expected or better. The home is beautifully decorated and well-appointed with everything you need to cook, relax, and enjoy. The outdoor grounds are gorgeous and the kids loved exploring and running around. Owner was totally available and responsive to questions before and during our trip. This is one of the nicest properties I've stayed at and I hope to return. Highly, highly recommend!
This visit was my second stay at the Lake Mag Farmhouse property. The barn apartment was a great addition. Based on the first stay, I book the property with five of my friends and had our class reunion there on the Saturday that we were there. Everyone loved it. My classmates had only great comments on the location, space, yard, house, apartment, and amenities. I will certainly return if my Florida visit include a stay in the Tampa area.

Thank you very much for your feedback and for staying with us for a second time. Glad to hear the barn house worked out great. 
Great property close to Tampa but quiet and relaxing
A very special property located on lake with abundant space to relax indoor and outside yet close to Tampa and other sites. Feels like you have gone back in time with elegant outdoor spaces and away from the daily cares of life. We used fire pit most nights and thoroughly enjoyed kayaks as well as ping pong and other outdoor fun. Our granddaughter loved being pushed around in pink car and visiting the chickens and hanging out on the dock. Host were very responsive and helpful with any needs. Hope to come back for a longer stay.

Host listing is a lie, host kept showing up unannounced/ while we weren’t there. After checkout host tried to blame a broken window on us. Great house not worth the headaches. And Vrbo doesn’t do support the customer.

We’re disappointed to read this review, especially considering the condition in which the property was left and the behavior of the guests.
Despite being informed in advance of occasional visits to care for chickens on-site, we were accused of showing up unannounced—something that never occurred. What did happen, however, was the unauthorized entry into a separate, locked unit not included in their rental. That space was clearly off-limits, and charges were applied accordingly.
The home was left in disarray: doors and windows wide open, trash left behind, dishes piled high, and a window found broken during the post-stay inspection completed just one hour after checkout. This particular window had stood through multiple hurricanes without issue, yet was completely shattered after their stay. When contacted, the guest denied responsibility, stating, “That window was fine when we got there. We never touched the hallway windows.”
We believe this review was written in retaliation after being held accountable with a $400 charge for the damage. It does not reflect the reality of the stay. We remain committed to hosting respectful guests who appreciate and care for the space—something this group clearly did not.
