May Getaway!

This is the second time we have stayed here! This place is definitely a great place to get away for a bit. Clean, comfortable, quiet, cozy and more! It is close to all the big stuff, but nestled away on a lake in a quiet area. The hosts are very good and provide good communication and I feel would be there for any issues, should they arise. We thoroughly enjoy staying here!

We had a wonderful stay at this quaint and peaceful lake house. The house was very clean with a fully stocked kitchen. Cooking any type of meal in the kitchen was easy to do with many basic seasonings and most kitchen cooking tools and appliances that may be needed. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms are nicely updated. The main living area is furnished with a comfortable couch, chairs and TV. There’s a nicely furnished screened patio which included a dining table and chairs with a great ceiling fan. The HIGHLIGHT of our stay was the beautiful lake with gorgeous Tampa sunsets and active waterfowl. We were privileged to have daily visits from a pair of sandhill cranes and their recent hatchling. The host, Shannon, was very communicative and kindly addressed any questions or concerns. In addition there is a great welcome “manual” provided with comprehensive info regarding the property and surrounding area. The location was perfect for our needs. Grocery shopping, restaurants and a mall are a close drive away. Highly recommend this property!

Christmas Week at Lindsay Lake House

We were pleasantly surprised at how modern and clean this lake house was. Everything was new and fully equipped with what you would need from a home away from home. We enjoyed everything about it. Very comfortable and even used the kitchen to cook. We had family over for a BBQ and we used the fire pit one evening. We would definitely rent this lake house again.

Outstanding Lake House Stay

A beautifully renovated, up to date house with exceptional lake view. Gigantic screened in porch provided many hours of relaxation. Kitchen is superbly maintained and enhanced by multiple touches - welcome gifts, drinks in the fridge and treats galore. Small personal touches throughout the home made it a special place. Very comfortably furnished. Entire property is well maintained and easy to reach.. Multiple lake activities available, including kayaks. Boat launch directly from driveway makes it easy to enter the water. A great value all around.

Excellent relaxing environment

This is our second time at the Lindsay lakehouse. We spent five weeks enjoying the peaceful surroundings, the cottage, the lake and wild life activity. The cottage is close to Live theatre, golf, restaurants, shopping etc. we found a lovely deli close to the cottage on Gunn highway called Joey,s Deli. Delightful. Shannon is very responsive and respectful of the guests staying at the cottage. Her communication is immediate although we had no issues while there. The description of the accommodations is accurate. The kitchen is fully equipped and the availability of a washer/dryer invaluable. My husband and I highly recommend this cottage.

The Lake house is very peaceful and relaxing. The kitchen is the most well stocked of all the places we have stayed in.The hosts were eager to make our stay enjoyable.There is a Welcome book that is very well organized and informative. Before you do anything else, look at the Welcome book. It will save you some time looking for markets, fun stuff, etc.We started everyday on the lanai with coffee , watching the waterfowl, listening to birds, and enjoying the view. The lake was like glass most days. There were a pair of sandhill cranes that visited almost daily, sometimes spending the day with us. The sunsets were phenomenal. And although we didn’t use it on our visit, there is a fire pit where you can spend evenings near the lake enjoying the night air and friendship. The lake house also has corn hole, kayaks, and fishing poles. The lake is spring fed and its colors change with the morning light. Beautiful
Calm lake truly earned its name while we were there
Our almost daily visitors.
One of the many sunsets.

Christmas at the Lindsay Lakehouse

We enjoyed our two week holiday stay at the lake! The home is charming with well appointed comforts of home. The owners thought of many touches to make your stay comfortable from plush throw blankets, beautiful beach towels and all the kitchen gadgets you need! The beds are very comfortable and it’s just enough space for your family. The true prize of your stay is the lake view. You never tire of it and sunsets are something to be cherished. There is a fire pit, kayaks and a charcoal grill to enjoy. The owners were very responsive when we did reach out on inquiry of the property and with a few questions. Winn Dixie is a mile down the road. The surrounding area offers nature preserves, Tampa Bay walking/biking trails, Citrus Park Mall, golf courses -something for everyone. Do not hesitate to stay here!

There are not enough words to describe the amazing stay we had at this adorable lakefront house. Shannon, the host, was so helpful and quick to respond when I asked questions about the area and when we needed to make some slight adjustments to our trip(adding a couple of days). The house was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials. We took advantage of the kayaks that were provided and throughly enjoyed the screened in porch. There were several evenings that thunderstorms came through and it was incredible to sit out on the porch and watch the storm. There are grocery stores nearby, great restaurants, and its not too long of a drive to the beach. Shannon has made this location a warm and welcoming place to land during vacations. The neighborhood is quiet and we felt very safe and secure there. It was so peaceful to wake up in the morning and go out on the patio to enjoy the sound of the Sandhill Cranes and other birds while taking in all the beauty of the lake. We really appreciated Shannon's notebook that walked us through check-in, check-out, all the details of our stay, and ideas of activities, restaurants, and things to see. There were even a few coupons in there for local activities. There aren't enough stars to truly show our overall rating on everything about this property. When we travel back the the area, we will absolutely stay here again! Thank you Shannon! Also, don't miss out on Q's Que & Boil, its delicious!

Loved the "Lake House".

We loved the "lake house." Sunsets are spectacular indeed, but ordinary days are lovely, too. Kayaking and birdlife are a plus and all is generally peaceful (nice neighbors too). The house itself is clean, cool, and charming. The screened in patio really extends the living space (and no worries about mosquitos or intense sun etc). A pleasure to come back to, after a day at the beach and braving the Tampa Bay Area traffic. Shannon and the crew were very kind and responsive. We hope to return (frequently). Highly recommend it!
