The cottage was perfect for us. It was very close to everything you could need, yet felt secluded. We particularly enjoyed the back porch overlooking the lake. Idyllic and peaceful, despite being a few hundred yards from a 6 lane road. Scott and Marilou were kind and accommodating hosts.

My boyfriend and I stayed a few days when we drove down to go to Warped Tour. We had an amazing stay! The cottage was absolutely gorgeous. It was perfect for just the two of us. Having the iron gate out front gave us a great sense of safety and privacy. The view was absolutely stunning and we had everything we needed! We’ve even talked about staying again in the future as just as small get away from home!

My partner and I were so awestruck by the beauty of the property! The house was immaculately clean and the location was perfect. The lake it sat on was beautiful and serene. We had everything we needed to decompress from the daily grind. We enjoyed the cute and cozy fireplace after visiting nearby botanical gardens. The bed was so comfortable we had a hard time getting up and going. Absolutely one of the best places we have ever stayed, just wish we could have stayed longer! Definitely will be back to enjoy the serenity of this beautiful home away from home.

Beautiful place to relax.

We loved staying at this cottage. It was just the right size for my family and a great place to unwind. Overall it was a great stay, but I was disappointed in just a few things that could be easily fixed for the next guests. -Master bedroom bed is so uncomfortable, my husband and I did not get a restful sleep at all. It is not supportive and you feel like your head is lower than your feet. -Outdoor dining set was broken and not able to be used. We had great weather when we were here and would have loved to use it for dining. This was not disclosed before our visit and the pictures posted on the listing were not accurate. -Mother nature had blown a ton of leaves all over the deck so the first thing I did when we got in was sweep the front and back areas off so we didn't track in a bunch of leaves.

This private lakefront cottage in Altamonte Springs truly exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment you arrive, entering through the private wrought iron gate, you can immediately feel how special and peaceful this place is. One of the first things that captures your attention is the stunning, giant live oak tree that gracefully spreads over the cottage. Its presence adds incredible character and a sense of timeless beauty, providing shade, tranquility, and a truly magical atmosphere.The cottage itself is charming, cozy, and beautifully updated. The hardwood floors, comfortable furnishings, electric fireplace, and cedar sunroom make it feel like a true “home away from home.” The kitchen is well-equipped with stainless steel appliances and a granite bar, making it easy to cook and relax. Everything was spotless and thoughtfully arranged.The views of Lake Adelaide are simply breathtaking. Sitting in the sunroom or on one of the decks overlooking the water is incredibly calming, watching the sunrise, the moon rise, and the abundant wildlife felt like a daily meditation. The bird sanctuary directly across the lake makes this a dream location for bird watchers and nature lovers. We saw an amazing variety of birds and wildlife throughout our stay.The outdoor amenities are just as impressive: a pedal boat to explore the lake, a fire pit, hammock, grill, and outdoor shower. The lush landscaping, mature cypress trees along the water, bamboo, palms, and fruit trees create a

My husband, daughter and I have had a fantastic time staying in the cottage. It is a lovely place to stay. The layout is great and I love the porch and deck areas.

Perfect Weekend

We had a wonderful weekend at this cottage. Scott and Marilou have set this place up perfectly and the location makes it easy to get to all the attractions that you are wanting to do. Wonderfully stocked kitchen, the grill was in phenomenal condition, and the backyard is gorgeous. We had an absolute blast and cannot wait to get back. Thank you for extending your beautiful cottage for us to enjoy.

Cute cabin on the lake - perfect for 2/3 people.

Cute little cabin on a lake, ideal spot for a couple or maybe a couple a friend. Great outdoor area including a grill, fire pit, lake access, and paddleboat. Got to see some interesting wildlife. Only complaint I have (not necessarily a complaint, just something I wish) was that the one bathroom only had access through the bedroom. If there was a way to access the bathroom without going into the bedroom it would've been perfect for up to 4 people even. Overall a wonderful property and had a great time.

Vintage Aqua Cottage Peace

Very comfortable and accommodating space. A nice touch stone in our trip. Brought to Apopka for a family wedding and wanted to explore natural areas too. The cottage provided memorable lodging for us and close to many places on our visit iternary. Loved seeing the little lake surrounded by snowy egrets in the morning and the sound of frogs at night. Enjoyed the privacy.

Little Oasis!

This property is very well maintained and cleaned. The hosts were extremely communicative and responsive. The setting was absolutely lovely as it was nestled in nature on a little lake with all kinds of birds to watch coming and going. We celebrated my daughter's college graduation and could not think of a more welcome setting. It very comfortably fits 4 people. I highly recommend!

Charming

What a great little spot. So shocking that you can pull off of the hustle and bustle of Rt 436 and be here in this peacefulness within a second. Clean and cute and charming and surprisingly quiet. Very thoughtful. Also that there are plenty of things stocked in the house that you always wonder “should I buy or bring?”
