Just Average

Hotel is cute, well located and tastefully decorated ( 2nd floor queen room). Mgr/ owner is attentive, and helpful. However, there is no access to the lake or dock, and nothing within walking distance. Breakfast is limited to cereal, juice and pastries, without having the mgr/ owner cook the pancakes, waffles or eggs (no meat available). Room has a "no eating or drinking sign", toilet ran continuously, and made a "groaning" sound when it was flushed. The owner/ manager called us about the groaning noise coming from the toilet (he could hear it downstairs), and sent a text around 1030pm asking us to turn the water off to the toilet if it continued). We both found the bed to be extremely hard and the room was cold (no individual room ac control). I wish the owners the best, but at close to $200 a night, our expectations were higher. We will not be returning.

A Quiet Cozy Getaway

We had a wonderful stay! The property is beautiful, nestled in a quiet neighborhood with a beautiful lake across from the entrance. The property is beautiful and full of southern charm. The room we stayed in was the Captain’s Room which is nautical themed and featured a jacuzzi tub (I unfortunately didn’t get to test out the jacuzzi function though). It was adorably decorated and very cozy. Breakfast service in the morning takes place in the common area of the office. Everything was delicious and fresh and we got to take treats for the road too. You can’t eat in the room but there’s a cute space to dine in the screened in porch, which was a super fun experience to have dinner with my husband at night! There’s also a property cat. He is sweet as can be. I recommend head pats. 10/10 experience.

Hidden gem in central Florida

Absolutely loved our stay at this cozy cabin by the lake! The peaceful surroundings, beautiful views, and warm hospitality made it the perfect getaway. The host was incredibly welcoming, and the breakfast each morning was a lovely touch. A hidden gem in Florida — we’ll definitely be back!

Mellowing out in Lake Helen

Hugo was a wonderful host. He suggested various places to visit. He made great pancakes. It was fun watching him feed the ducks. Our room was clean and had everything we needed. The house was quiet and peaceful. It's worth a return trip.
