We loved everything about our stay here! The property is charming, cozy, adorable, and clean. The neighborhood is lovely, safe, and quiet. The furniture is comfortable. The mattresses are soft and cushiony. The kitchen is a cheerful delight. It’s just like staying in our own home. We would definitely stay here again! We highly recommend this house if you’re visiting Lakeland.

Enjoyably Bright & Convenient
Very enjoyable, clean, and bright atmosphere with a convenient location - Tranquil neighborhood with short walking distance to the Museum and Lake.
Host responded immediately to have someone come replace a battery.
Very nice to see that kitchen items like Paper Foil were provided! We are thankful to have been guests in this home away from home!

Adorable Cottage
This was the perfect house for us over graduation weekend. It was within walking distance from FSC and other downtown features. The house was adorable, comfortable, and spotless! My only suggestion would be to add another full-length or wall mirror. We had a hard time getting ready with only one mirror for the three bedrooms.

Clean, Great location, Comfortable A+++
We had a wonderful stay. The house was very clean, well maintained, provided everything we needed. The location was great. There was a mini market a half block and Morton Lake is in walking distance and it was absolutely gorgeous. Lots of birds and cool trees. The house was beautiful and I would totally rent it again

Stayed here to watch FSC beach volleyball, visit the swans on Lake Morton & eat at all our downtown favorites. House is perfectly situated for all that FSC & downtown Lakeland has to offer. Quiet street, friendly locals & great coffee shop-Black&Brew. House is clean, as pictured. Nice decor, great fenced backyard. Highly recommend a stay at this historic Lake Morton Bungalow.

Cozy and clean
We enjoyed our stay at the bungalow. The property was a little older than we thought it would be from the photos, but cutely decorated, clean, had all the kitchen and bathroom amenities you’d need, and comfortable. Very comfortable mattresses. Nice, quiet neighborhood within walking distance of Lake Morton, a library, coffee shop, art museum, and a convenience store. And an easy check-in and check-out process. For larger groups or families, one point to note is there’s only a 2-person dining table in the kitchen but there are TV tray tables in the living room, and no chairs or table in the backyard yet to hang out in. All in all, we enjoyed our time there!
