Excellent relaxing environment

This is our second time at the Lindsay lakehouse. We spent five weeks enjoying the peaceful surroundings, the cottage, the lake and wild life activity. The cottage is close to Live theatre, golf, restaurants, shopping etc. we found a lovely deli close to the cottage on Gunn highway called Joey,s Deli. Delightful. Shannon is very responsive and respectful of the guests staying at the cottage. Her communication is immediate although we had no issues while there. The description of the accommodations is accurate. The kitchen is fully equipped and the availability of a washer/dryer invaluable. My husband and I highly recommend this cottage.

May Getaway!

This is the second time we have stayed here! This place is definitely a great place to get away for a bit. Clean, comfortable, quiet, cozy and more! It is close to all the big stuff, but nestled away on a lake in a quiet area. The hosts are very good and provide good communication and I feel would be there for any issues, should they arise. We thoroughly enjoy staying here!

Loved the "Lake House".

We loved the "lake house." Sunsets are spectacular indeed, but ordinary days are lovely, too. Kayaking and birdlife are a plus and all is generally peaceful (nice neighbors too). The house itself is clean, cool, and charming. The screened in patio really extends the living space (and no worries about mosquitos or intense sun etc). A pleasure to come back to, after a day at the beach and braving the Tampa Bay Area traffic. Shannon and the crew were very kind and responsive. We hope to return (frequently). Highly recommend it!

Wonderful Experience

We frequently stay at VBRO rentals and this one has been the best thus far. Upon check-in which was super easy we were greeted with thoughtful touches (including Cuban bread & pastries) and a super clean house. During our stay the hosts were sure to check-in with us and make sure we had their contact info in case we needed anything, The house is set-up very well to make sure you have everything you need. If you are looking for a quiet, serene, peaceful setting, this is your place. You can feel the love and prayer that have gone into this lake house. If fishing is your thing (my husband is obsessed), then you will not be disappointed. He had a great week of fishing and did very well. If resting is your thing (I needed it), then you will not be disappointed. I laid in the huge screened in porch (I think they call it a lanai) staring at the beautiful lake and loved every second of it. We will definitely be booking here again since it is so close to our kids.

Refresh and growth

Pictures do not give justice to the beauty of the lake house. Upon walking in, we were greeted with peace and tranquility, it ushered us into a week of very memorable moments. The fellowship of the covenant was deep and profound; the lake house is a precious place to me. The owner’s care to our simple needs accentuated the experience and the lovely decor welcomed us. The bass in the lake are not shy and are plentiful, we used a black worm. Dinner at sunset was beautiful an offered much to talk about. Forever grateful to be able to stay here and for the memories that have seeded growth and unity in our marriage but most important our relationship with Christ!

Christmas at the Lindsay Lakehouse

We enjoyed our two week holiday stay at the lake! The home is charming with well appointed comforts of home. The owners thought of many touches to make your stay comfortable from plush throw blankets, beautiful beach towels and all the kitchen gadgets you need! The beds are very comfortable and it’s just enough space for your family. The true prize of your stay is the lake view. You never tire of it and sunsets are something to be cherished. There is a fire pit, kayaks and a charcoal grill to enjoy. The owners were very responsive when we did reach out on inquiry of the property and with a few questions. Winn Dixie is a mile down the road. The surrounding area offers nature preserves, Tampa Bay walking/biking trails, Citrus Park Mall, golf courses -something for everyone. Do not hesitate to stay here!
