Set on one of Tsala Apopka Lake's canals, this charming getaway allows guests easy access to the area's direct chain of lakes. Lined by fruit trees, the air is sweet and welcoming. Under the Sunshine State's warm glow, throw a line off the dock and catch some fish, board the provided kayaks, or gather around the firepit to prepare gooey s'mores.
Full of rustic charm, this home was originally a family fishing lodge. The living room provides a pleasant space to sit back and relax, whereas the full kitchen makes cooking a breeze with its updated appliances and marble countertops. With amenities like a private washer/dryer and central air-conditioning, your satisfaction is guaranteed.
As the sun begins to set over the water, gather around the firepit where you can watch the yellow, pink, and orange hues meet the deep blue hues of the lake.
Enjoy the peace and quiet of lake life when you book The Water Lily Lodge!

While it was pretty clean inside, it seemed like they decided to make this a vacation rental but didn’t prepare for it. There were only 3 bath towels total for 4 of us and they were obviously old towels (bleach stains). No kitchen towels and an old sponge in the sink. The freezer was dirty and it looked like things were just thrown underneath all of the cabinets. The toilet got clogged with every use which is likely an ongoing issue as there was a plunger by that toilet. The outside trash can was very full and we had to leave ours on the ground. Also, we live by a lake so we get it but for guests who may not I think a simple sweeping of the front and garage doors to get the bugs off would be a good idea. The description of the home led us to believe it was much more updated than it was. Not an issue, just an observation. Again it was clean. The grounds were beautiful and it was a good location for us.
