Convenient & Great View
House on lake, nice for morning viewing. We were away from the home most of the time but it was a good stay overall. Kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. Comfortable, could use some updating but the great price reflects that. Bring your own hair dryer

House on a lake
Property is conveniently located, a 5 minute ride from a CVS, Publix and assorted restaurants, 10 minute from downtown Lakeland. The house is as shown in the photos. It has a large yard and nice view of Crystal Lake. The host responded immediately to any concerns and had maintenance on site quickly for any issues. The beds were comfortable. There were ample sheets and towels provided.

We loved the location to get to all the different parts of Lakeland. It was also 1 hr away from our grandson and his family.

Fantastic Accommodation, would stay there again
Very clean and well appointed accommodation, easy to find and convenient to Lakeland and other areas. The host did a great job with hints and tips on the stay and an easy and safe way to get out of the driveway, very helpful! Catching the morning sunrise each day and seeing (and hearing) the birds and other critters was fantastic and much needed. Very peaceful stay.

Good vacation spot
We spent a month at the Crystal Lake Cottage. The house is very nice; well kept; comfortable beds; even provided some paper products. It's a nice neighborhood to walk. We walked over to the university area every day. House is conveniently located near Publix, drug stores, gas stations, and restaurants. There's a small deck looking over the lake. The only downside is pulling out of the driveway. Vision is obstructed and cars are often speeding past the house. Overall, it's a nice house and owner is very responsive to any requests or questions.

Functional and Clean
We were in Lakeland for spring training and this house was very functional for our stay. Two grandparents and boy/girl 17 year old twins. Bedrooms and bathrooms were good for our family. Exit from driveway onto road was pretty difficult due to hedges on left side of driveway. Don’t even consider backing out. Ten minutes to Joker Marchant Stadium was very convenient. Pillows were plentiful but hard for our tastes. No dishwasher, just bug hole under counter. Outside light was continuously coming on and off at night. Cleaners showed up one day early but owner made nice goodwill refund for embarrassment. Certainly not the Taj Mahal but worked well for our visit.
