The cottage is supplied well for your every need and while it is not furnished with every brand new modern items it is indeed very comfortable. We cooked all our meals except 2 during a 10 day stay. I will most likely return. ##### Barbie E. Stayed 9 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lesley 13 Jun 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Nice location So good stuff first, it was in a good location and close to the boat ramp. Plenty of parking. Right off the lake, probably would have been great for jet skis to come right up to the house. It was a very old house and the air conditioning was an issue, you're not allowed to make it lower than 75 so it was fairly hot. The biggest issue we had with it was the bugs, there were ants coming in the window. They were in the carpet, on the ceiling. They weren't fire ants, and I'm a Floridian so ants don't usually bother me as long as they aren't fire ants, but that's not what I expect when I rent a house. It was nice enough but we won't be returning. ##### Lesley Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Felicia A., Ocklawaha, FL 11 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely Lake Cottage Very nice place to stay.
