This was a very nice stay. We did not want to leave. The property is very comfortable, clean and well put together. We enjoyed siting on the back deck overlooking the lake and watching the wildlife. The kitchen and supplies were well stocked, we had everything we needed. It was peaceful, quiet and very relaxing.

Another fantastic vacation at the Yellow Cottage by the trail. We love staying here because of the excellent location for biking; the wonderful backyard and deck on the lake; the fully equipped kitchen; but most of all because of the tremendous hosts, Marianne & Tim, who are great folks, and great hosts. We will be returning as often as we can. Tim & Marianne: thanks for another great stay.

Marianne & Tim are fantastic hosts. The location is ideal with the bike trail so close, and the wonderful deck and lake in the back. We always make use of the well equipped kitchen, and enjoy sitting around the fire pit at night. We have stayed here many times, and will return in the near future. A great place we like to think of as our home away from home.

Great old Florida Bungalow

We stayed for 3 days and everything was just as advertised. The area has lots to offer, we especially like the bike trail being so close. The lake access/view was also very nice.
