Overpriced and unsafe
The property needs fixing and renovation. It is run down and beat up. The kitchen is in rough shape. Most concerning, there is a key-coded door lock to access the upstairs bedroom. This is a safety hazard. What if children were in that upstairs bedroom and there was a fire? We inadvertently closed the door and weren't given the key code. We had to text the property manager to regain access to the space. Also, the property management fees (only shown once you are almost done with checkout) are absurd. The total cost was double the listed price after all the fees.

Christmas Vacation
The place was very clean! When we have stayed at a rental in the past, I tend to leave the place at least as clean as I found it, if not more so. In this case, it would have been difficult, as it was so incredibly clean! Using the access code to gain entry was very easy. The owner/manager was very accommodating: there was already a travel crib listed in the “Amenities” section, but I asked if possibly there might also be a high chair and/ or stroller. They said they would make one of each available, and there was indeed each of these items. As it turns out, my son, his wife, and 4 kids were not able to join us after all, so none of these items were needed, but we truly appreciated the accommodation! So, except for one night when my other son joined us, we had this huge house to ourselves. It really is an amazing space! If we’d had everyone we expected, it would have given plenty of space, as well as privacy, if needed. We had brought a small prelim Christmas tree, some decorations, etc. with us, but walked in and found the place beautifully decorated for Christmas! We were very pleasantly surprised! We did add some of our own decorations, but they were really not needed. The view was fantastic! One day, we got to watch the skiers, which was quite enjoyable. One day, we walked partway around the lake; there is a lot to be seen if you take a moment! All in all, although things did not turn out quite like we envisioned, we still had a wonderful time. Thank you so very much!

Fourth of July getaway!!
Let me start off by saying this place was more then we expected ! The property owner Kim was AMAZING when we first started our trip we were not sure on dates she was very patient with me on going back an fourth on what days I wanted, when we got to property I absolutely fell in love at the thought of the lake not being connected to the chains because we had lots of family staying here nothing got better then this house having its own private lake no boat traffic it was so peaceful an perfect. They had a ski show on Saturday was nice but the absolute best part of the stay was fireworks right in the back you could walk to the deck an watch the fireworks an the had such a great ski show plane show ect. Music food trucks it was truly Amazing my kids really did not want to leave they were also very helpful when we extended our stay one more day!! We loved this place an Hopefully they will welcome us back next year ! This Definitely a GEM !! Ps Great pots an pans you never find a rental with nice pans to cook but there’s were great!

Great view and convenient
The house had ample space to all be together in one room or find a quiet spot to rest alone. The view of the lake was relaxing and we even got to watch a skiing competition one morning. Great access to downtown, a playground and splash pad, just a short walk away. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well stocked. We had a great time!

This house fit our stay perfectly
We had a family trip (4 couples and an infant). This house was a perfect fit for us. The rooms are spacious and mostly spread apart. We felt like we had plenty of room for everything. The two separate living rooms were great space to spread out or be together. We were able to sit out on the dock as well, which was very nice. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and utensils. We were able to cook a few meals during our stay. A month before our trip, I had arranged for a pack n play for our infant granddaughter, but upon arrival it was not in the house. After a quick email to Kim, one arrived promptly, and she followed up with to make sure we didn't need anything else. The only issue we had was not having enough trash bags or toilet paper. The listing said "a starter pack" of those items will be provided. I have found that "a starter pack" is different with each host. This host supplies one roll per bathroom, no extra. We did find an extra trash bag, but it did not fit the cans. It was annoying having to buy a pack of toilet paper with only a couple days left of the trip. All in all the stay was great! The street noise was loud but we are country folk who are use to quiet. The house is also located directly across from a hospital, so we heard plenty of sirens. But that is a trade off for being so close to city amenities. We would stay again if we are ever back in the area.

Wonderful Weekend Getaway
Gorgeous house and beautifully decorated!!!! We wanted a weekend getaway but didn't want to go far. This house is a gem!! Located on a small lake in Winter Haven, it has everything you could want. The only negative was that is located near the corner of a busy road so traffic noise was a little annoying. That would not deter me from staying again though. We had a great time!!

Lakehouse
Quaint lake house. Could use some help with the amenities such as soaps, shampoos etc. and the water smelled terrible. But other than that it was put together great.
