Truly spacious and private inside and out (in a 10 acre rural setting). Ground level entry and no stairs! Situated on picturesque Ridge Scenic Highway at Starr Lake, on the ecologically unique Lake Wales Ridge ( Many Golf Courses ,hundreds of lakes, rolling hills, and ancient flora & fauna). Central Florida is well known for its great bass fishing and there’s always room for boat-trailer parking right on site. 12 minutes to Legoland Florida; 8 minutes to famous Bok Tower Gardens (daily carillon recitals and a brilliant kid's play space); 45 minutes to Disney World's theme parks and nighttime entertainment. Universal Studios, Harry Potter and Orlando International Airport all easily reached in under an hour. 70 Minutes to Tampa, Ybor City nightlife, Busch Gardens (awesome coasters), and Tampa Airport; 90 Minutes to the Gulf Coast Beaches (sunsets) or Atlantic Beaches (sunrises). Surrounded by orange groves and u-pick blueberry and peach orchards, your cottage is situated on a private 10 acre family homestead. Public Transportation to Legoland and other area attractions stops hourly an easy 1/2 mile walk from here. Close to grocery shops and regional mall, multiplex theatre, bowling, and many unique family owned restaurants, we are fully outfitted with a 20 K watt natural-gas generator which provides uninterrupted power in any weather condition. For aviation enthusiasts, learn to fly Para-gliders/Ultralights at Lake Wales Municipal Airport (10 minute drive), EAA 'Sun n' Fun' fly-in is at Lakeland Linder Airport for a week each April (40 minute drive); and, there's plenty of great 'drop-zones' for anyone who can't wait to jump out of a perfectly good airplane ;).

Ample on-site parking, picnic table and chairs, and you're welcome to stroll the grounds and stake out your favorite tanning spot. Host's family lives adjacent to your accommodations and we'll greet you upon arrival, get you situated and be great neighbors should you need anything at anytime. Quiet, private & peaceful location to chill-out and decompress after fun-filled days "doing the theme parks" or "hitting the beaches."

It's cozy and comfortable with a just like home feeling. It was stocked with everything that we needed to make our stay more than enjoyable. There were games, puzzles, books, magazines, local attraction brochures to name just a few. The supply of linens was endless! The cozy throws for cool evenings were soft and snuggly. Best of all, our hosts were exceptional! Always willing to recommend a restaurant or local activity, to sit and chat or to bake muffins! We felt as if we were staying with friends! If we are in the area again, the cottage is the only place that we will stay!! ##### Joni Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2025 ---
