Host listing is a lie, host kept showing up unannounced/ while we werenât there. After checkout host tried to blame a broken window on us. Great house not worth the headaches. And Vrbo doesnât do support the customer.
This property is so good that we can't stop coming back. The house is always spotless and ready upon arrival. Owners are a pleasure to communicate with and take care of everything and anything that could come up. Property itself is a true gem. Highest recommendation.
This was a wonderful house to rent for a few days during our time in Tampa. It sits right on Lake Magdalene & has a large property that is extremely private. It even has a chicken coop, and the care-takers were so kind & left us a few fresh eggs to enjoy during our stay. Communication with the property manager was great - very prompt! A few suggestions to improve a guest's stay: 'Guest Help' binder - instructions to turn on the fireplace, restaurant suggestions, things to do in the area, other instructions pertaining to the house etc. Washer/Dryer in the main house for families with children It would've been great to have had the check-in process instructions sent to me without my having to reach out to the property manager. Also, a simple small map that shows the entrance of the house could be included in the check-in instructions, especially for those coming in after sundown.But overall, great property! We had a wonderful time!
Had a wonderful, quiet, private stay with our family on Lake Magdalene. Owners were as always great hosts. This was our third stay with them and hopefully not our last. Would highly recommend if you enjoy privacy and nature.
The house and the view are great!! We enjoyed our stay and all the wildlife that the location offered was amazin! Waking up to the sun rising over the lake was gorgeous! My husband also loved fishing from the peir. The house was clean and the decor was beautiful. There were a few things that we didn't particularly care for - there were others staying in the guest house on property which was fine but all windows in this house are open and there are no window coverings. Therefore no privacy. Another thing was the shower in the master bath seemed to only have two settings: ice cold or scolding hot. Lastly, check in was a little unorganized as we did not receive the checkin code until asking for it (and calling VRBO) several times and it was finally received while on our flight there. Lastly, there is no washer and dryer as listed in the description. Again, we did love our stay and the house was beautiful just a few things to consider before arriving!!
This was a return visit, and just as wonderful as we remembered. The property is a such a gem- gorgeous, peaceful, and stocked with everything you need to enjoy your stay. The owner is super responsive and great to work with. Truly an excellent experience and highly recommend!
We had a wonderful stay. Very clean house. Beautiful, quiet, private grounds. The owners Jay and Adriana are very attentive and easy to deal with. Can't wait to return next winter. Thanks again for a wonderful stay!
We stayed here for Christmas 2023. It was such a gorgeous home. Right on the lake, huge property, and a chicken coop with free eggs. The hosts were extremely responsive and so kind. Kitchen fully stocked and location close to everything.
We have loved and enjoyed the awesome house and property full of beautiful details which make you feel relaxed and comfortable
Adriana and Jay were the best property managers that we have ever had
Hope to come back soon to this magic place
The Farmhouse is a wonderful place to land in the middle of Tampa. A rare findâŠ.. it is so desirable with plenty of space, plus the lake with everything provided for fishing to kayaking. The house is wonderfully furnished and clean. I give an overall 5 stars and would love to stay there again. Just wish it had a washer/dryer and easier stair access. Still loved it! Thank you to our host! Donna and sister from Belize and Texas
Really enjoyed our stay. Itâs not as private as I thought. Lots of visitors/traffic to this secluded property, including guests (strangers to us), staying in the barn even though the listing indicates that isnât an option. We were not aware of this until after we checked in and were already on the property. Aside from that, amazing location. Close to everything we needed in Tampa but were able to get the lake house feel. No window coverings on first floor. Host was very responsive to questions.
We enjoyed our stay at his beautiful lakeside farmhouse very much. Location was great and the views were beautiful. Enjoyed the sunset by the lake each night. We had everything
we needed. Wonderful peaceful location away from the hustle bustle.
We had a truly wonderful stay at this amazing home! The property was spotless and welcoming upon arrival. Everything was as expected or better. The home is beautifully decorated and well-appointed with everything you need to cook, relax, and enjoy. The outdoor grounds are gorgeous and the kids loved exploring and running around. Owner was totally available and responsive to questions before and during our trip. This is one of the nicest properties I've stayed at and I hope to return. Highly, highly recommend!
We had a wonderful stay at Lake Mag Farms! The house is welcoming and comfortable, and you canât beat the sunset views of the lake! The property was perfect for letting the kids run around too. We hope to stay again soon :)
We had a great time here. The house has lots of light, the view of the lake is great and it's very charming at night with all the hanging lights outside. The owners were very helpful and courteous. There were some minor hiccups but they fixed them quickly. Highly recommended.
I can't say enough about this charming property. The house was perfect and fully stocked with everything we needed and the location couldn't have been more perfect for us (only 4 miles from my daughter's apartment). The house lies on a couple of acres, so it's very private. My kids had a blast with the paddleboards and kayaks. The owners were so nice and easy to work with. Definitely staying here again on future trips to Tampa.
Perfect setting for a tranquil vacation. We stayed during the week before the 4th of July and we enjoyed fireworks over the water! The kitchen table is in a perfect location - you can fully see the outdoors while being in the comfort of the air conditioning! I wish we lived here!
This property is amazing! The host is very attentive and very friendly. We enjoyed watching sunsets each night just across the lake. Our kids couldnât wait to fish on the dock each morning. We really loved our first family trip after my husband returned from his latest deployment.
We celebrated my mother in law's 70th birthday here with her family from Atlanta. We also rented the upstairs barn (OMG how beautifully renovated the barn is! Looks like Chip and Joanna Gaines were here!) What an incredible place to relax and re-connect with family. The Aunts/Uncles used the provided Kayaks to paddle in the lake. I brought my boat for lake tubing with the kids and docked it overnight during the stay (I personally live right down the road from this lake house). Plenty of outdoor space for entertaining/dinners/fire pit. Loved the chickens in the coop and scratching around the yard (owners even provided us with a few fresh eggs upon arrival!). Can't say enough great things!
