“Exceptional Stay – Clean, Cozy, and Private“
“We came to Florida for a 10-day family vacation and arrived two days early to visit relatives. If I had known about this beautiful little house earlier, I would have rented it for our entire stay. Everything was super clean, well organized, peaceful, and very private — we absolutely loved it! I also really appreciated that we didn’t need any contact with the owners; the privacy was excellent. Totally recommended — one of the best stays we’ve ever had!Even my teenagers asked if they could stay and live here, haha. Honestly, we’re planning to stay here every time we come back.The only thing I would suggest is adding a washer and dryer — sometimes it’s nice to be able to do laundry during the stay.”

The perfect stay
Love my stay what a wonderful place to get away I didn’t want to leave. It was very clean and had everything you needed for a long stay. Love the porch to have your morning coffee and to start your day Would love to stay again

HiddenGem Review
A small cottage in Lake Helen which is behind the main house. Very clean, with all the necessities. Thought it was a good value for the rental price.

A little getaway
Cottage was exactly as shown and owner was great to work with. The neighborhood was quiet and safe - even walked down to the lake one afternoon. We loved sitting in the 3 season room in the mornings drinking our coffee and even a quick catnap in a few afternoons. Will definitely stay again when going to the area.
