Piece of paradise!

The setting is peaceful and private and if you’re a walker or biker the Withlacoochee Trail is half mile away. Chris is great, responded very quickly to any questions we had and when the wind tore the patio umbrella Chris had it replaced within 24 hours. Overall our stay was wonderful! Highly recommend!

Peaceful and pleasant

We wanted to “get away from it all” but be by a lake and the Withlacoochee bike path. This was perfect. Property is rustic but well equipped and comfortable. Beautiful lakefront and very close to the trail. Owner was friendly and helpful.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED OUR STAY !!

We felt at home from the moment we walked in the door. We enjoyed fishing, biking, sunsets, watched cranes, hawks, small gators, and eagles. We especially loved the tranquility and peaceful feeling at the Cypress cottage. Chris was an amazing host!!

Cypress Cottage

We had a fantastic time riding on the Withlacoochee trail then relaxing on the deck of the cottage. The owner was very nice and told us some of the interesting history of the family cottage. We hope to be back soon.

Old Florida lake front

Truly a example of an old Florida style lake front cabin. This reminded me of a cabin we went to almost 60 years ago except great hot water shower and strong a/c. We C were there a week. While I never needed any assistance from the host we did have a couple of nice conversations

Had a wonderful stay at a very relaxing, rustic cabin and beautiful lake. Chris stayed in contact as to help if needed. Saw a baby gator and enjoyed some tries at lake fishing. The fish are safe from us!

Best place for log cabins

If you enjoy log cabins in the aesthetic of old fashion. Then this is a place for you. It was great service, and the place was super clean. On top of that he was very quiet most of the time, and it included rowboats. , which I thought was amazing!

The Coffeys

The Cypress Cottage is a great relaxing get away. The history of the house, location and the house itself is relaxing and nostalgic to my childhood home inside and out. Very clean and organized. Great fishing opportunities in the pond and lake. Had a great time kayaking as well. There was something for every member of my family to do as far as entertainment. I have already referred others to this awesome place.

Fun getaway

We had so much fun! Cute cabin with beautiful views. We went canoeing, kayaking and fishing. Only suggestion I have is for the AC to be turned on prior to guests getting there as it took several hours for the house to cool down- especially during the Summer. Overall, really nice!!!

Amazing One of Kind Stay!!!

The Cottage is an amazing getaway for those who want to disconnect and relax. There’s everything you need for a unique and relaxing stay. There’s all kinds of things to do around town and/or short drive away. However the Cottage has a boat, bikes, fishing and truly unique breathtaking views. We will definitely be back and recommend to everyone. Also Chris is an amazing host and always a phone call away. Thank you for sharing this gem of a stay🙏 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Vacation at the lake

The outside of the cottage was very rustic however the inside was charming. The lake access was great. The canoe and kayaks were fun. We were disappointed that we were not able to use the john boat and row boat because they both leaked. The owner was friendly and informative. My husband caught several fish

Restful Weekend

Chris was great communicating with me. It is clear the property is lovingly cared for. The location is very peaceful. We came in on Friday and spent Memorial Day Weekend. It was a rejuvenating weekend with my family. We sat on the porch, enjoyed the scenery, read, talked, grilled out. It was a lovely weekend. Thanks Chris The Sistrunks

Lakefront Retreat

I would stay here again, in a heartbeat! My daughter and her husband and friends came over to visit and we all had a wonderful time. Listening to the birds, canoeing in the lake. Another time, we would use the fire pit and fireplaces - it was still a little warm for that. My family cooks together and we had everything we needed in the very well appointed kitchen! The only thing we brought in was our knife but that's a cook for you! The beds were very comfortable and it was very peaceful. I also had to work and the wifi connection was very good. The host met me at the property and gave me a tour and was very responsive. Thank you to you, Chris, and your family! See you next time!

A Quiet Spring Break

My husband and I took our boys, 12yr old and 2yr old, plus our cattle dog. Everything you could need was available, which as a mom who packs for everything and always forgets something I didn’t have to worry! Our 12yr old loved fishing on the lake with his dad and our 2yr old enjoyed himself traveling the cabin and outside. Roasting marshmallows, family dinners at night, it was a quiet retreat from our overcrowded suburbia. Kitchen had everything we could need, A/C and heat worked wonderfully (especially for those stray spring cold fronts), Wifi was great and allowed my son to play his games at night with friends like a home away from home. Chris made everything a breeze. The cabin was clean and comfortable, and I wish we had time to stay longer!

Did not get the fishing we had hoped.

The cabin was very nice. Very clean and had anything you could want supplied. Chris was very nice, and even mailed us a dog toy we had left by mistake (the dog's favorite of course). And if the property had been what we saw in the pictures, all would have been great! However, you could not put a line in the pond due to the over abundance of lily pads. It was also difficult to row a boat into the larger pond due to the lily pads absolutely choking everything together. If we'd known we couldn't fish off the deck or the bank, we would have picked another option.
