Enjoy a getaway vacation in this wonderfully decorated 1958 cottage. This house has been fully renovated and professionally decorated by Velvet Cabbage in a relaxing cottage style. You will be amazed by the before and after pictures. The queen-size bed in the master bedroom has two side independent air adjustable beds (by Anderson Beds), so you can set it to the way you like your bed.

The back-deck overlooks Church Lake and connects into the large Tsala Apopka Lake system. If you love to fish, then you will be in your element. There is a small dock that can accommodate a bass boat or other small boat. The 'Rails to Trails' bike path is only 100 feet from the driveway where you can walk or bicycle the entire 46 mile trail. There are bikes available for your use. The cottage sits on one acre and provides a quiet and secluded escape.

This is part of the old Florida, which has natural springs and moss covered trees. Numerous natural spring parks are located less than 1 hour drive. Enjoy manatees, fishing and wildlife. It is absolutely beautiful. 29 minutes to Rainbow Springs and 20 minutes to Crystal River, Three Sisters Springs, horseback riding in Ocala

This is a natures getaway where you can bird watch and enjoy all the other wild life that abounds in this area. Homosassa and Crystal River are close by for more wild life viewing. There is nothing better than sitting on the deck and listening to natures orchestra that plays every night from the lake.

This area is offering new and upcoming businesses of wineries and breweries that showcase local talent. Copp Winery and Brewery, Whispering Oaks Winery, Lakeridge Winery, plus many more!

The house is located one hour from Disney World and one and a half hours from Tampa. It is close enough to the Florida attractions but away from the traffic and crowds. There are numerous golf courses located nearby and including some championship courses.

This is the perfect place for a week or a month. Ask about a monthly rental discount; escape the cold winter and come to Florida for much less than a hotel room.

We stayed for 3 days and everything was just as advertised. The area has lots to offer, we especially like the bike trail being so close. The lake access/view was also very nice.

Perfect Lakeside RetreatWe had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage on the lake. The property was exactly as described—peaceful, well-equipped, and surrounded by beautiful views. Having all amenities included made the experience seamless and comfortable.The setting was perfect for relaxation, with quiet surroundings and stunning scenery right outside the door. Whether enjoying a morning coffee on the porch or unwinding by the water, the atmosphere was incredibly serene.I highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a tranquil getaway. We would absolutely stay here again!

This two bedroom, two bath bungalow was just as advertised. The kitchen was well-stocked with pots, pans, silverware, plates, glasses and appliances. The place had a good size table that we were able to entertain friends and family at dinner. The lake was peaceful and the property was well-taken care of. We will try to stay again if our schedules align.

We enjoyed our stay, loved the bike trail, proximity to restaurants, shopping and places to visit. This is our fourth VRBO rental, and for us, the most enjoyed so far.

Property was very nice, on a lake, quiet, relaxing, only a short distance to restaurants, parks, running/walking/riding trail, shopping, and churches. Easy in, clean, nice long lot, trees, greenery, with house that was comfortable and had a large kitchen, washer & dryer, back porch, and porch swing down near the lake... Very nice indeed... Thanks so much for the visit...

The cottage is in need of some maintenance. Mostly cosmetic, (coat of paint, power wash outside mold, replace weather stripping on the exterior door) but all of this if not addressed, detracts. We experienced strong musty odors inside of the cottage when we arrived. This was diminished with turning on the heat or air if required. The living room furniture is incredibly uncomfortable. The bikes furnished had inoperable gears. We had a great time in Florida, regardless! *We would not return to this rental, however*iinincrediblyununconfortableuncomfortable.

Very nicely decorated lake house to bring a boat on a very beautiful lake. The owner even helped me launch my boat.

We always look forward to our stay at the "yellow cottage", and this trip did not disappoint. Its got everything: a wonderfully equipped kitchen, numerous spots in the back yard to hang out and rest after a long bike ride, and do not forget the fire pit. We look forward to our next stay. Thanks again to Tim and Marianne for a great vacation.

A perfect location for daily biking on the Trail, and with a fully equipped kitchen for making meals for the back deck overlooking the lake. We love staying here. Marianne & Tim are just great hosts; we can't say enough good things about our home away from home.

Roomy. Clean. Well stocked kitchen. Large yard. Great location with easy access to major roadways. The claw foot tub in the main bath adds to the vintage cottage feel, however, it may not be for everyone as it is quite the step up to get in and out of. (There is a walk in shower in the master bath)
