Lovely home

We love the home. This is our 2nd time there and we will come again. It’s perfect for our 3 sisters with a game room and living room. We love mostly that it is close to the lake. We hike around it everyday in the morning. We also love the tow and restaurants.

Very nicely remodeled older home in a great location in Lakeland. Very central and easy access to many things to do. House is comfortable with plenty of room for a family of 5. Love the front porch and curb appeal. Only nit is the bedroom windows face east, so darker window coverings would help, otherwise you are waking up at dawn.Communication with Anthony was excellent, very accommodating and courteous. Would definitely stay here again.
