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. Fully furnished kitchen, living room, and bedrooms. Fenced yard for pets and three friendly horses on property that LOVE treats, fenced separately.

If you're in town for an event at The Barn at Crescent Lake/McMicky's Farm, it's a 5 minute walk or a quick drive right down our street as they're roughly 5-properties down from us. Our neighborhood is very quiet with most homes on several acres and beyond friendly neighbors.

This home offers a quiet "Country" feel while being close to nearly everything. SR54 is right down the road with new restaurants, shops, and entertainment opening daily. We're roughly 20 minutes from Tampa International Airport and 25-30 minutes to the beaches in Tarpon Springs, Palm Harbor, and Dunedin.

We were only in the area one night but we had a nice stay. The owner left carrots so we could feed the horses on the property, and left fresh eggs for us. Cute little updated farmhouse. Would stay again!

2nd time staying and it was a good as the first. Quiet, comfortable - far enough away from the hustle and bustle, yet close enough to everything. The hosts (as always) ensure you have what you need to make the most of your visit. Missed the horses this time, so guess we'll just have to return.

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.

We had an amazing time, and wish we could have stayed longer. My husband and i got married right down the road at the barn at crescent lake, and this was the PERFECT location. The horses were super nice, the beds were comfy, and the house just gave off a very cozy feel. There was a slight issue with the water, but Dave worked non stop to come up with a solution as soon as we brought it to his attention.

We enjoyed a wonderful experience in this cozy cottage. The home had everything we needed and wanted - quiet, relaxing, great amenities (thanks for the eggs!), and close to Tarpon Springs while still feeling remote. The fenced-in yard, with neighboring and friendly horses, was perfect for our dog. We appreciated the electronic gate. Thank Dave ~ we look forward to a future visit!

This darling farmhouse is in the perfect location for anyone needing to be in the Tampa area. Groceries, fuel, restaurants and shopping are minutes away but you feel like you are out in the country on this peaceful farm! We drove to Tampa for sightseeing, and it was only about 30 minutes. We enjoyed the property and especially the friendly horses! The owners are super sweet and we enjoyed our stay. We recommend this property!
