Cozy Cottage - Close to Everything, Nature Lovers Dream!

Fully remodeled and furnished in 2022 2BR/2BA early 1900's Florida "Cracker Shack." Surrounded by towering oaks, cypress trees, and an on-property paddleboard/kayak launch leading to Lake Wastena. Private gated entrance with separate parking for guests leads to a recently built wraparound porch equipped with a grill, Edison lights and outdoor furniture.

The farm cottage is so charming! This is a completely fenced in cottage that is pet friendly. McMicky's Farm is about a 5 minute walk. The absolute best part is that the owners' horses will be your hosts for your time spent at the cottage. Horse treats are provided for you to interact with them. Don't be shy! They love it!

A Cute and Cozy Place to Stay--at a good price and idyllic location

My in-laws from Poland enjoyed their nine-day stay here, and the glimpse it offered them of "old" Florida--with a swamp filled with cypress, a pasture with several oaks, three awesome horses, and access to a lake behind the property. The home was clean and a nice place for us to gather each day after exploring the Tampa Bay area.
