About this property

Farm and lake stay at Malfini Cay Pet Friendly

Lakefront guesthouse-full kitchen living room-very large bedroom and full bath. On 2.5 acres. Beautifully newly decorated. Two flat screen TVs with Ruku-WiFi -high end laminate flooring-comfortable high thread count sheets on unbelievably comfortable queen bed. All kitchen appliances with coffee bar with Keurig. Wooded rural setting with beautiful views of ski lake-private exit to lake access. Wood deck outside guesthouse. Ample parking space. In unit washer and dryer. The property is rural and quiet. Not for people who want to be in a city....lol. The property is a farm-like setting with chickens, 2 Nigerian dwarf goats, a Khatadan lamb, a lab mix, and a Great Pyrenees. We also have 2 ducks and 3 miniature donkeys.

The property is in a very private, quiet area of Odessa. We are on a dead-end street with very little traffic. The following information should help you to decide if this stay would be for you before you arrive, and are disappointed.

The property does contain THREE houses - the lakehouse, the guesthouse, and the main house (where we live). All have access to the backyard.

I have included photos that illustrate the proximity of the three houses. PLEASE UNDERSTAND: This is NOT an isolated house alone on the lake. Please do not book if this will be a problem for you.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE PET FRIENDLY. We are clean freaks and we clean very thoroughly after each guest, but as pet parents know, those animal hairs are tricky little things and as hard as we try to find them all, we may miss some. Also some larger items (sofas, chairs, decorative pillows, etc.) are not replaced after each guest. Please understand that if you are allergic to animals, don't care for animals, are offended by the occasional pet hair or paw print that might have been missed while cleaning, or in general do not like or are unfamiliar with spaces where animals have been, please do not book with us.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
1) We obviously love animals and welcome housebroken dogs and cats with litter boxes. BUT, Please don't book if your dog uses potty pads. We have wood floors. We have not charged a pet fee in the past. Unfortunately not all guests have been courteous in cleaning up after their pets. Our cleaner is charging us an additional fee after stays with pets. To cover this cost, we must add a pet fee to our bookings. So sorry-We tried to avoid this!!!!

2) We love scents and use Wallflower essential oil plugins. If you are allergic or prefer no scent, please let us know and we will remove them before your arrival.

Odessa Fl. Malfini Cay
This location was just perfect for us. Off of the beaten path but within 10 to 15 minutes of activities and very nice restaurants. The guest house is perfect, quiet and functional with all of the amenities. This was a working vacation for us, we set up an office and the internet was excellent. Laurel was a great host and we will definitely come back here in the future

Beautiful Property and Great Host
The title says it all. It is a great place with fenced yard right outside the door. My stay left nothing to be desired.

The Farm
The property was just as described. The host was courteous, affable and just a fun person. The animals were fun, well mannered and such a variety of personals. Our dog, obviously a very pet friendly place, was absolutely overjoyed to meet the goats, the donkeys the sheep and chickens as well as the host’s 2 dogs. All in all we spent a most relaxing and enjoyable month at the farm and will be making plans for a return visit.

About the host

Hosted by Laurel Hall

Host profile image
I am an engineer and I have owned my own company since 2001. I built this house with a guest house for my parents. My parents are gone and this beautiful house has been empty. The house is so adorable and I want it to have life again, that's why I am sharing it with lucky vacationers/business travelers.

Why they chose this property

When we moved to Florida from Oklahoma, we initially rented a home in this area of Tampa for a year to make a decision about what area of time would be perfect for us. We ended up loving the Odessa area. Odessa is peaceful with a country feel yet it is close to all area attractions and business areas...the best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

The property and the lake are so beautiful and peaceful. This property is also VERY pet friendly.



This cottage is decorated in farmhouse style (we love JoJo's style) and is very near the lake with a large porch.
