Cozy Cottage - Close to Everything, Nature Lovers Dream!

Fully remodeled and furnished in 2022 2BR/2BA early 1900's Florida "Cracker Shack." Surrounded by towering oaks, cypress trees, and an on-property paddleboard/kayak launch leading to Lake Wastena. Private gated entrance with separate parking for guests leads to a recently built wraparound porch equipped with a grill, Edison lights and outdoor furniture. Fully furnished kitchen, living room, and bedrooms. Fenced yard for pets and three friendly horses on property that LOVE treats, fenced separately.

If you're in town for an event at The Barn at Crescent Lake/McMicky's Farm, it's a 5 minute walk or a quick drive right down our street as they're roughly 5-properties down from us. Our neighborhood is very quiet with most homes on several acres and beyond friendly neighbors.

This home offers a quiet "Country" feel while being close to nearly everything. SR54 is right down the road with new restaurants, shops, and entertainment opening daily. We're roughly 20 minutes from Tampa International Airport and 25-30 minutes to the beaches in Tarpon Springs, Palm Harbor, and Dunedin.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a fenced private yard.

Third stay at this comfortable cottage - just as wonderful as the prior visits. The hosts are communicative and responsive. Love the fresh eggs, they made a yummy breakfast. And the horses loved the apples (thank you, Dave, for the suggestion!). Will definitely be back for a fourth visit.

Short but sweet

We were only in the area one night but we had a nice stay. The owner left carrots so we could feed the horses on the property, and left fresh eggs for us. Cute little updated farmhouse. Would stay again!

Weekend stay

When we arrived at the property we were greeted by the owners, and their precious son along with a beautiful horse and mini horse. They left us fresh eggs from their chickens, and carrots to feed to horses. The inside of the home was immaculate, the decor was beautiful, very comfy feel and they had everything u may need to make your stay easy. Our furbabies enjoyed the fenced in yard as well. Very safe area in a country setting. We loved it. Absolutely recommend this place to anyone and we will be back for our next trip. Thanks for having us!

Old Florida

This cottage was a reminder of old Florida before,the host was extremely responsive at every question ,brought his mini pony for our granddaughter to feed. Cottage had a few minor maintainance things but nothing that affected our stay. Hats off to the host and family,very gracious and kind.

Another amazing, relaxing visit

2nd time staying and it was a good as the first. Quiet, comfortable - far enough away from the hustle and bustle, yet close enough to everything. The hosts (as always) ensure you have what you need to make the most of your visit. Missed the horses this time, so guess we'll just have to return.
