About this cottage rental

Nestled in a beautiful paved and gardened backyard space. My 640 sq/ft private cottage is behind my home in the small quiet town of Lake Helen, only a mile off of I-4.
The cottage is filled with all the amenities that will make you feel at home.
The cottage has one queen bed and the sofa bed is perfect for children. Also a pack and play for little ones.
The cottage is perfect for two but will suit 4.
The cottage is located in my back yard behind my home, surrounded by a 7' vinyl privacy fence.
There is a large screened-in porch on the front of the cottage, with an overhead fan.
Guests have access to the entire back yard, gardens, and water feature.

The cottage is so cute and welcoming. We appreciated the food recommendations left by the owner. The lanai and garden were lovely.
6 / 10Average·Apr 2025
Overall the property was good. At first I felt awkward that I was staying in someone’s back yard however, the privacy and professionalism was still there. Perfect for a place to lay your head at night.
