Great Stay!

My husband and I enjoyed staying in Dixieland while visiting our son who attends FSC. The home is close to restaurants, stores, and lakes. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is very well stocked and the backyard was a comfortable hang-out! The owners provided great communication and were very attentive. Highly recommend!

Charming bungalow in Lakeland!

What a charming property! It was perfect for the three of us for a few days. Very well appointed, cozy and convenient to downtown. The host was super responsive when I had a question about parking. Make sure you make your way a few blocks to Lake Hollingsworth and enjoy the view! Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful weekend stay!

The house was just as cute and clean as it appeared in pictures. It is super close to everything fun to do in Lakeland: Cobb & Pen, the Farmers Market and Lakeland Community Theatre. It is also the perfect location for a sunrise stroll around Lake Hollingsworth. The beds were super comfortable and the outdoor area was cool and inviting. I will definitely stay again and look forward to it.

We are both from Key West and moved to Lakeland in 2005. We fell in love with the community and the people.
We love living downtown and walking and riding our bikes all around. Our other love is being on our boat in St. Pete.
We both work at the community hospital ( Lakeland Regional Health). I am a nurse but transfer to HR a few years ago and my husband works in Supply Chain.
