My friends and I were attending a Conference in Lakeland and needed a place that was comfortable and convenient. This property more than met those needs.Our host, Edward, was responsive to questions and messages about our stay.

Winter getaway

We really enjoyed your house. It was in walking distance to a very nice pub and two breakfasts diners. The location was great for everything we were doing. The only downside was no TVs in the bedrooms. We loved sitting on the front porch in the morning. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely little house

We very much enjoyed our time in Dixieland. The house was just what we needed while we were in town visiting family. Everything was as expected and the owner was very quick to reply and address our needs. The close proximity to the downtown area was convenient. We also enjoyed the short walk to a little cafe and coffee shop.

Four Night Stay

Great little bungalow. Very clean and well staged. Close to restaurants-most within a short driving distance and a few within walking distance. Very short drive to RP Funding Convention center which was perfect for our purposes. Would definitely book again in the future.
