About this property

A curated stay in the Historic College Quarter

  • You'll fall in love with this beautiful historic cottage located in the heart of Winter Park. Filled with charming vintage furniture and homey trimmings. Dine in the luminous sunroom, enjoy a cup of tea or a movie in the warm and inviting living room. Two welcoming bedrooms with DreamCloud mattresses and luxurious linens will ensure you a restful night sleep. Don't let the size fool you, the fully equipped kitchen is mighty impressive! The outdoor deck sheltered by the old oak tree is shaded, private and peaceful.
    Don't forget to venture out and walk to the core of the lovely Winter Park. This cottage is located 0.4 miles from Park Ave, 0.7 from Central Park with its Saturday Farmers Market and bi-annual Art Festival and 0.9 miles from the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art.

    Don't hesitate to reach out if you would like to book our cottage for a shorter stay. I will be happy to try to accommodate your needs.

Charm and location

We stayed 4 nights. Hosts responded quickly and were so friendly. We walked daily around the neighborhood, along the lake trails, and through Rollins College. We could have walked to lots of shopping and lots of restaurants if it wasn’t Florida hot and we’d melt! It’s about 30 minutes to the Disney parks and the local museums are very close. Loved the house and would stay again.

The most charming cottage

Splendid cottage, so well located, in a wonderful neighborhood. A well-appointed kitchen, comfortable beds, nice linens. The owner was exceptionally responsive to our needs and easy to contact and deal with. All in all, a wonderful stay and getaway from a Northern winter. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely, updated, historic home in great location.

We really enjoyed our 1 week stay here. The location is perfect - walk to Rollins (Go Tars!) and the Rollins baseball field, walk to Park Avenue shops and restaurants. The house is lovely, and nicely decorated. With the fully equipped kitchen, we were able to host some wonderful dinners for our family and friends in the area. One of the best rentals we’ve stayed at and dog friendly, too!

We came from California and stayed at this charming cottage for 4 days. It was super cute, clean and had everything we needed. Elisa was super accommodating. The cottage is located on a nice quiet street in Winter Park. We were able to walk in to town. I would highly recommend Elisa's cottage and would stay here in the future!

Great location!

Often at rentals you get the feeling that the rental is stocked with “hand me downs” from the owner’s primary residence, which I get. Not so with this VRBO. The good quality linens, towels and household items really elevate the experience. It is nicely decorated and in a great location. Foxtail or Barnie’s coffee nearby, lots of great restaurants or Publix/Trader Joe’s/Whole Foods within five miles if you want to do your own cooking. We had a great stay. Highly recommend!
