There is a Frank Lloyd Wright museum and a number of FLW buildings on the campus of FSU you can tour.Also, The Barnett museum of Art is incredible and free.We very much enjoyed the property’s spaciousness.The property owner was available for all of our needs. We are looking forward to returning next year.

This house is the nicest vacation rental in Lakeland's historic district! (I go to Lakeland regularly) It has an open floor plan with many floor to ceiling windows. The 36' pool is possible for laps and is beautifully lit at night. There are large side yards with massive ancient live oak trees. Best of all was the convenient carport, offering coverage from tree debris and rain. Mattresses were suportive and comfortable. The spacious kitchen & dining areas were well equipped. It is just a quick walk to gorgeous Lake Hollingsworth. I loved the very muted but still audible train whistles-very romantic! I would definitely stay here again, if possible!

An Oasis in a Time Capsule

We came to Lakeland for a wedding and once we walked inside this amazing home we really didn’t want to leave. From the historic artifacts to the meditation pond to the beautiful backyard and pool this was perfect for us. As runners, it was also great to be steps from a 5k loop around a peaceful pond. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay at mid century gem

Absolutely loved staying at this mid century gem. It is a beautiful museum to true retro modern living. Everything was very clean and the backyard is a beautiful oasis with a great pool, lots of trees and birds . The property manager, Rachael, is extremely responsive, helpful and knowledgeable about the history of the property. Great area for walking…. short walk to Lake Hollingsworth and lovely neighbourhood to explore.

Historical Gem!

My husband and I stayed here to celebrate my son's graduation from FSC. It was close to everything and was super special and quaint. We loved the outdoor area and the historical furnishings. It had everything we could have asked for and more! It even had a koi pond in the back yard and we found the property to be super tranquil and inviting! It was also located in a quiet residential neighborhood which we loved. We had coffee outside and got to see the birds and listen to them chirping.

About the host

Hosted by Andrew Weaving

Host profile image
I am an author and dealer of books on mid century design and architecture and I came across this home while researching for locations for previous books. The house was purchased from the original family, so has been saved from alterations and updates that could have been inappropriate and would take away the originality of the house.

Why they chose this property

The area around Lake Hollingsworth is very desirable and the street we are on is just off the Lake, so is quiet and residential. Homes and gardens are well maintained and its great to be able to walk around the lake.

What makes this property unique

The house built in the 1950s, retaining all its original feature is a unique experience. Some things like the sunken baths and lower shower heads, make it unique. Some of the furnishings are original to the house, so this adds to the authenticity of the experience staying there. The pool and deck was a later addition, but designed with the original architect, so it matches the elements of the home.
