About this bed and breakfast

Lakefront guesthouse-full kitchen living room-very large bedroom and full bath. On 2.5 acres. Beautifully newly decorated. Two flat screen TVs with Ruku-WiFi -high end laminate flooring-comfortable high thread count sheets on unbelievably comfortable queen bed. All kitchen appliances with coffee bar with Keurig. Wooded rural setting with beautiful views of ski lake-private exit to lake access. Wood deck outside guesthouse. Ample parking space. In unit washer and dryer. The property is rural and quiet. Not for people who want to be in a city....lol. The property is a farm-like setting with chickens, 2 Nigerian dwarf goats, a Khatadan lamb, a lab mix, and a Great Pyrenees. We also have 2 ducks and 3 miniature donkeys.

The property is in a very private, quiet area of Odessa. We are on a dead-end street with very little traffic. The following information should help you to decide if this stay would be for you before you arrive, and are disappointed.

The property does contain THREE houses - the lakehouse, the guesthouse, and the main house (where we live). All have access to the backyard.

I have included photos that illustrate the proximity of the three houses. PLEASE UNDERSTAND: This is NOT an isolated house alone on the lake. Please do not book if this will be a problem for you.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE PET FRIENDLY. We are clean freaks and we clean very thoroughly after each guest, but as pet parents know, those animal hairs are tricky little things and as hard as we try to find them all, we may miss some. Also some larger items (sofas, chairs, decorative pillows, etc.) are not replaced after each guest. Please understand that if you are allergic to animals, don't care for animals, are offended by the occasional pet hair or paw print that might have been missed while cleaning, or in general do not like or are unfamiliar with spaces where animals have been, please do not book with us.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
1) We obviously love animals and welcome housebroken dogs and cats with litter boxes. BUT, Please don't book if your dog uses potty pads. We have wood floors. We have not charged a pet fee in the past. Unfortunately not all guests have been courteous in cleaning up after their pets. Our cleaner is charging us an additional fee after stays with pets. To cover this cost, we must add a pet fee to our bookings. So sorry-We tried to avoid this!!!!

2) We love scents and use Wallflower essential oil plugins. If you are allergic or prefer no scent, please let us know and we will remove them before your arrival.

We enjoyed our stay! It was close to the events my husband and son were competing in. Felt right at home and was super clean!!

We have been spending the winters in Florida for many years. This Cottage was by far the absolute best! We really enjoyed relaxing on the deck in the early morning looking out at the lake. In two months I fell in love with the donkeys, goats and Lambe the sheep. Laurel was an excellent host and came to be a great friend by the time we left. We didn’t want to leave. The cottage was immaculate, the bed was so comfy! Meeting the renters in the lake house was an added bonus. Sitting together enjoying the evening was a great way to end the day. Odessa is quiet and beautiful yet so close to Tampa, Tarpon Springs, Dunedin and other fun places. Laurel‘s dogs, Zuri and Lola.were very well behaved and got along great with our German Shepherd. Can’t wait to go back. Next time I may never leave!

Overall we really enjoyed our stay. The cottage is nicely furnished and Laurel was helpful and an excellent host. Beautiful location and we felt welcomed and at home. Suggestion to Laurel: It would have been nice to have some basic cooking stuff, like salt & pepper, cooking oil so we didn't have to buy it, plus bottled water for coffee and drinking.
