Beautiful location

My family and I stayed three nights at this lovely home so we could attend our daughter's graduation from FSC. We loved everything about this home, from the location to the beautiful trees surrounding the home, and to the great customer service from our host Austin. There is ample parking in the front and rear of the home for about four cars if needed. We would definitely stay here again when visiting historic downtown Lakeland.

Great neighborhood & comfortable house

We enjoyed being able to walk to Lake Morton, a nearby coffee shop and library, the fish stand, and being in a family friendly neighborhood. The house was comfortable for everyone.

It is a lovely cottage. We are 3 upper 70 ish ladies and it was great overall. Loved the lake and the birds! Only negative is the living room furniture. Cute but highly uncomfortable to spend an evening. ! Thanks

Can only complain about one bed

It was really a lovely, clean, convenient place for us to stay. My one complaint is the bed in the "master" suite. It is impossibly soft, uncomfortable, squeaky and desperately sags in the middle. Replace that bed and you've got 5 stars, hands down.

About the host

Hosted by Austin St. Jean

Hello, Austin & Mikayla here!

We are Lakeland natives who have fell in love with hosting guests at our properties. Since 2016, we've been traveling and staying at various short-term rentals around the country. After having unforgettable times exploring, we wanted to offer our own properties to guests in June of 2021.

We felt pulled to bring people to our wonderful city to see all that it has to offer. From the beautiful lakes to amazing restaurants and shops, Lakeland has become a staple when visiting Central Florida.

We hope that you have nothing but comfort and a memorable experience when you stay with us. Cheers!
