This property is beautiful, peaceful and relaxing. Decor in the lakehouse is amazing. The host make you feel at home. The animals were enjoyable...especially the donkeys. We will definitely book again when we are in the area.
Completely in love with the Lake House! And the floofy animals...such a fun, unique spot on the lake. And peaceful, it was EXACTLY what we were looking for. Hoping to stay longer next year! Laurel has thought of everything - you won't regret booking with her!
Everything was fantastic! Loved the cottage and really enjoyed the out in the country setting yet being so close to everything. Will definitely stay again.
Loved this cozy stay away from home! I would definitely recommend this place to everyone. Such an amazing view of the lake whether it's sunrise or sunset, it's gorgeous!
The lake house is really nice! Great location and great neighborhood to walk your dogs.We loved the house and the animals on the property. We enjoyed sitting out by the lake. We would definitely recommend staying at the lake house.
My boyfriend and I took our dogs for a weekend trip in Tampa for a friend's birthday and found this cute little cottage a bit north of Tampa to accommodate us. The place was right on a lake behind the host's main house. It was peaceful, quiet, clean, and comfortable for a weekend stay. The cottage was a bit larger than it appeared in the photographs, which was a plus. But the biggest bonus of all: we met their farm animals and their own dog, who were all super friendly and adorable. Odessa, Florida is a little country-side gem. I will definitely return should I need another place to stay close to Tampa. Highly recommend!
We had a great stay, the house was perfect for us and for our dogs. The house was on a very peaceful lake with a fenced in yard for the dogs. We loved their dogs and enjoyed seeing the farm animals. We will be back!
We had a wonderful stay at Laurel's Lake House. The location is so serene. The cottage is beautifully appointed; comfy bed, fantastic shower; bonus terry robes. Laurel is a gracious host. The farm animals were a treat for our toddler granddaughter who lives in Odessa. We will definitely book again!
Old style Florida beach home in the middle of Santa Rosa. Although in the middle of a busy beach we had plenty of privacy in a quiet location. Beach access was around the corner. Plenty of shops and restaurants. High end houses nearby. Great rental gor us.
Laurel's Lake House was absolutely perfect. The outside space was private and so lovely for basking in the sun and resting next to the beautiful lake. It was wonderful to have the animals on property...they were very well taken care of and happy and had plenty of space. A little piece of heaven in the heart of Odessa.
Laurel was the best host
Property is AMAZING
So peaceful to sit on the banks of Lake Juanita just outside the door of your charming Lake House. Everything was as pictured, comfy bed, amazing stone rain shower and then there were the friendly animals, donkeys, goats , lamb, chickens, ducks and the owners dogs who came to visit everyday. Such a wonderful experience we will never forget!
This was one of the coolest and most unique spots we've stayed at. We were in town for the local PGA event and this was about a 30min drive from the course. You would have e nonidea you were right outside Tampa as Laurel's place was quiet, peaceful and the perfect place to relax at anytime of the day. Believe the reviews, this place is amazing and we would return anytime!
I spent the month of February at this farmhouse style rental and enjoyed every minute of it. Very peaceful there. The house is beautifully decorated and I felt right at home. Laurel is a good landlord and very easy to talk to and she takes care of things right away. You couldn't find a better winter rental in Florida.
We had a great stay at Laurel's Lake House in Odessa, FL. She was a warm and helpful host and we enjoyed getting to know her and her friendly farm animals. The house itself is very well decorated and cozy, with an excellent kitchen including a gas range. The views of the lake are calm and serene, especially in the morning while drinking your coffee/tea. We recommend this property wholeheartedly and hope to stay again in the future. Thank you Laurel!
Loved this beautiful lake house. Loved the location, decor and the hosts Laurel and Wess. This place is like being at home. Loved all the farm yard animals also. My favorite was Lamby. She stole my heart as well as all the animals. We also met a wonderful couple staying in the guest house. Everyone was so friendly. Canât wait to come back. Thanks for such a great vacation.
My son and I stayed at the Lake House for 2 weeks while looking for a home, upon moving from California. The house was easy to find, even at night. It's in a quiet, very safe, higher-end neighborhood. The pets on the property are friendly but not intrusive. I worked remotely several days, my son streamed movies on his laptop while the tv was also streaming; never had any issues with internet. The bathroom worked well with plenty of storage space. The washer and dryer were great with fast cycles. The kitchen functioned for quick, easy meals. Most importantly though, our furry babies were comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to stay at Laurel's place again.
What a wonderful way to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city. Laurelâs lake house feels like you're miles away from civilizationâŠbut I was still only 15 min from office.
Beautiful home on a beautiful lake with amazing sunrises. Thanks Laurel for creating such a relaxing home away from home.
Hello. I am an engineer and I have owned my own engineering company since 2001. My passion, however, is interior decorating. I am the daughter of an artist and my artistic talent is in my ability to create warm, welcoming living spaces.
I have lived in this serene, quiet setting for almost twenty years. Odessa is the perfect place to live and to stay. It is a secluded area, but close to all amenities (restaurants, shopping, etc.).
You will so enjoy the peace and serenity of staying in a gorgeous space on a beautiful lake. We have a small farm with goats, donkeys, chickens, a lamb, and dogs.
