About the host

Hosted by Christina McCullen

Host profile image

We fell in love with this property the moment we saw the water — the glow of the sunrise, the peaceful ripples, and the way the whole world seems to slow down here. Life gets loud, busy, and fast, but the lake has a way of grounding you on our property.

We created this home because we believe everyone deserves a place to rest, recharge, and reconnect — with loved ones, with nature, with God, and even with themselves.

Hosting isn’t just something we do. It’s something we love.

We enjoy welcoming families, travelers, friends, and adventure-seekers from across the country.

Every guest brings a new story, and we’re honored to be a small part of it. We take pride in making your stay special — with thoughtful touches, clear communication, and a space that feels genuinely cared for.

We designed and decorated our home to be a sanctuary, filled with peace, renewal and opportunity for tranquility.

Our goal is simple:
To make your stay unforgettable and to give you the kind of peace this lake and our home has always given us.

We have made so many great memories in Sebring and hope you will enjoy the same.

Why they chose this property

We are so thankful to own a Peaceful Waterfront Escape Close to Highlands Hammock Park, Sebring Raceway & Downtown Sebring (featured on HGTV!)

We love being close to Sebring’s most serene lakes. It’s amazing to Wake up to glowing sunrise views over the water, sip coffee on the private dock, and unwind in a space designed for comfort, connection, and relaxation.

Whether you’re seeking a family getaway, a faith based waterfront retreat, a girls weekend, or a fun & comfortable stay during race season, our home has everything you need for a memorable stay.

Our neighborhood is generally quiet and located on a dead end street.

While being wrapped in tranquility, we are still mere minutes away from dining, the Downtown Sebring circle, several fishing piers and the Sebring raceway. We loved the street due to the nature and sunsets!

Plus our neighbors are very friendly and helpful, should you want a community feeling.

Our property sits on one of Sebring’s calmest, most peaceful lakes — perfectly positioned for unobstructed sunrise views. Guests repeatedly tell us it feels like waking up inside a postcard.

🌊 2. Private Dock for Coffee, Fishing & Golden Hour Magic
