  This was the worst lodging experience of my life. The properly is full of junk. Old refigerators washers dryings, misc constructions supplies etc. The units are not marked so you have to guess which one you have. It took me three tries. There was no contact person available, could not get the internet to work, there is no TV reception, the icemaker did not work, they were nice enough to supply one ice tray. The build in micro did not work, there was a vintage 1980 model in the corner... More »

  The efficiency was cute, clean, and comfortable. The loft is very close to the ceiling--you may not like it if you don't like small spaces.

  While the pictures of the apartment are beautifully descriptive of the surrounding area, they are not such an accurate reflection of the apartment itself. We got quite an unpleasant surprise when we drove up. The area felt a little bit unsafe, I wouldn't have gone walking at night. The actual apartment, while i'm sure would be appropriate for one couple maybe with one other person, at most, is not great for sleeping three adults in separate beds. The pull out couch was broken, and dipped... More »

  We had a great time at Meredith's place. It is a nice and relaxed place to stay at and the lake view is really cool. The location is very convenient and near to most of the attractions. Sam and Meredith are great folks and helped us get us around and find nice local places. I would recommend it to anyone planning to visit Orlando.

  Was a great little place, with a fantastic property. A shame that we had a pretty tight schedule as I would have loved to stay a few days more to hang out around there and play some beach tennis. Meredith and Sam were great people and everything was taken care of in the apartment. We had towels and bedding and everything else one would need available. Thanks again.

  Nice cozy place, the rooms are a bit on the small side but there's plenty of nice furniture and appliances. way over any hotel in this price range. Think the outside will look really cool when finished. Still nice now cuz the outdoor area is huge. Great lake views as well!

  Julie

  Sam & Meredith were very gracious hosts! Sam eagerly showed me around his property and his many projects and made himself available as needed for any help. Very quiet residence tucked away with a beautiful lake view. Listing is very accurate & priced appropriately.

  Great people. Very helpful.

  The room was very clean. Bring your own instant coffee. If a reasonably tidy exterior is important to you this may not be a good fit.

  Luke

  Sam and Meredith were extremely helpful and pleasant in regards to any questions and assistance. The room was comfortable, well equipped and neat. The lake behind the property and surrounding adds to the already rather peaceful vibe.

  I spent 3 nights in the efficiency unit at the Lakeside Cottage. The room is private, comfortable and fully equipped, there is even a dvd player and a selection of dvds. It is just a few miles to Orlando Intl. Airport which was convenient . Sam was very friendly and helpful and answered all requests immediately. The garden and the area is still under construction, it seemed to me several projects were going on but this didn't bother me. I would recommend staying there.

  Sam picked me up at the airport and kindly gave me a ride to get something to eat. He was very helpful and had a number of great suggestions. I enjoyed the vaulted deck overlooking the lake. The outdoor gym on the dock was a great way to watch the sunrise while getting a quick workout in. The units seemed new and had everything I needed for a great price. I highly recommend travelers to the Orlando/Kissimmee, FL area talk to Sam and Meredith.

  I arrived on a friday morning, and Sam was MORE than helpful from beginning to end. He went and picked us up from the airport and dropped us off, and even helped us with a rental car. the place was so great, a little taste of florida, from the volley ball "court" outside our door, to the swing hanging from two palm trees. it was clean, updated, tv, fan, fridge, and all.. would DEFINITELY stay again!!

  Hi, the lake environment is great and the cottage is fine. Sam and Meredith have been great. They went to the airport to get me, I was working remote so wi-fi Internet was important for me, and Sam got a smart repeater to make the signal stronger and a UPS to avoid resets from power cuts. (for geeks:download speed 5MBs, upload 1 MB and wi-fi signal -80 dB from the' cottage, more from the Efficiency- the other part of the cottage). Apart from that, I still have to catch up on the local level... More »

  It was a awesome cozy house that fit my whole family and had an amazing lake view. Sam and Meredith were also very hospitality and nice.

  A good host tried to help us get what we need. The house is warm and lovely!

  Han

  Great place with great people! Meredith and Sam were at our service at all times, even though we arrived later than expected (past midnight) they were around to let us in and make sure we were taken care of. The facilities are very private and had all the amenities we needed, plus the pictures don't do it justice. The lake is quite gorgeous as well. It's pretty convenient, close to all the theme parks, about a half hour drive. The only bad part was the spiders - because the area is so... More »

  It was our first visit to Orlando and to USA. Everything was really nice. Easy to find, really close to all parks, malls and restaurants. Sam and Meredith were friendly, always ready to help. we were satisfied.

  Lucienne

  When we arrived we weren't really sure we were in the right place, but once we walked down into the area a little bit more we were delighted to see everything like in the photos shown on AirBnb. The hosts weren't there when we arrived, but they found a way to let us into the cottage without any hassle. The cottage is very sweet, and charming. Small, cozy, with couches, a very nice and big bed ... and an everything you could need kitchen (sans food). In a couple of minutes you could be... More »

  A neat little cottage which was close to all the attractions one could wish to visit. Sam was great assistance to helping us find out where everything was.

  Warm and friendly, comfortable and casual...limited space to move but most things you need.

• 

  Laura

  This place totally served it's purpose. It's a safe, warm place to stay located on an awesome lake. It felt a little bit like camping with the bugs, but this space totally worked out for us. Sam and Meredith were very accommodating as well. Would recommend if you're looking for a quick place to crash. Thanks Sam and Meredith!

  We spent one night in the Efficiency unit at the Lakeside Cottage. The room is fully equipped, there is even a dvd player and a selection of dvds. It is just a few miles to Orlando Intl. Airport which was quite handy for us. Sam and Meredith are very friendly and helpful and answer all requests immediately. You can ask them for recommendations concerning places to eat and more.

  Very welcoming host. Clean, comfortable lakeside cottage with full kitchen. Perfect for volleyball enthusiasts.

• 

  Lisandro

  Ultra friendly people and the place is great and is gonna get even better! Meredith really takes care of the guests and the cottage is very good with kitchen, living room, dvd's, books etc. Sadly that we could only stayed for one night only. The location is very quite as well. If you want a quiet place for a good rest and like being at home look no further!

  Lamark

  My lil' daughter & I traveled from NC to Orlando and stayed here for a few days. Meredith & Sam were super great hosts. The cottage was amazing. Very streamline, clean, and welcoming. We both felt tranquil being there. There was a quietness, a peacefulness that permeated the entire place. And after spending our days at the parks, it was good to come back to the cottage for some well needed 'unwind & recharge' time. Just vegging-out at the cottage was treat enough. Its minutes away...

  We had a nice time there, the apartment was nice, well equipped and clean. The hosts were really welcoming and it was easy to comminicate with them. The garden and the area is still under construction and as it seemed to me several project were going on but this didn t really bothered us. I would recommend it to stay.

  Pretty nice place.

• 

  Brandi

  Sam and Meredith were extremely nice and willing to go out of their way to be helpful. Sam saved the day for us on more than one occasion! A very cozy, cute place even as a work in progress. Once it is finished it will be like a mini resort! Plus the dock is a great area to relax.

  Joe

  My wife and son and I stayed for 2 nights and it was all that we needed. It had plenty of beds and could easily have slept up 6 people. It was clean. There is no cable and had to request a coffee maker but Sam provided one right away. It is only a short drive from Disney World so it worked out perfect for us. It is good, clean, cheap lodging which was just what we were looking for. Sam and Meredith are very friendly hosts. After posting this review, I received this review from... More »

  We were a group of six guys who were looking for a place to stay in the Orlando area close enough to drive to the Daytona Speedway. This Cottage was only 1 hour from the Daytona area and 15 min from the Orlando airport. It worked out perfectly and had all the amenities we needed. Sam and Meredith were very helpful and accomadating. We would definately stay again!

  Luke

  I had a wonderful first Airbnb stay - Meredith an Sam were perfect hosts and the accommodation was comfortable and clean. Parking and access to the rest of Orlando was a breeze!

• 

  Erika

  A great place to stay. Really nice to wake up and look at the sunrise over the lake. The cottage was really clean and comfortable suited us as we were out most the time. Meredith and Sam are very kind, friendly people that went the extra mile to help us out which was really awesome. Great way to experience quiet Suburban Orlando but it is helpful to have a car to get to places.

• 

  Tracey

  Sam & Meredith are extremely sweet and very accommodating. The place was perfect, a work in progress outside but the bungalow had everything you could need and more. The lake is beautiful and we had such fun sitting by the lake in the evening enjoying the sunset. There are plenty of stores and restaurants near by if you need to do a little shopping or choose not to cook. Thanks for such a great time. We will be back to see you again.

  The stay ay Meredith and Sam was great; the cabin was clean, cozy and comfortable. It included an equiped kitchen, a TV and DVD, books and magazines. Also WiFi was available. The location is urban and quiet, with good connections to malls and diners. It is situated at the border of a lovely lake, with a pier from which you can enjoy the sunset and -rise. The hosts were extremely helpful with pointing me places and giving hands to get there. I warmly recommend the site!

  Jessica

  Sam and Meredith are great hosts. We stayed in what Sam will be calling the efficiency room. There is limited space in the efficiency so if there are more than 2 people, this room might not be for you. However, I would suggest contacting Sam or Meredith and explain what your needs are. They were more than happy to work with us and provide anything we required. The location is perfect for the amusement parks around the area. Sam was very helpful in suggesting some activities we might enjoy... More »

  I needed a place at short notice and some transport to and from at odd times, and Rob was able to help out perfectly. He's building a nice little resort style accomodation there and while the unit he's renting out is ready be aware that he has lots of other projects on the go so it's a bit of a DIY zone at present. Hopefully he'll post some updated pictures of the completed resort soon.

  That's what you call home away from home. The place reminded us of our European country houses at lakes where one could have BBQ, or play tennis, or just sit and watch water flowing (what we did). 10 Mins driving from theme parks, and several plazas with stores and diners where you could basically just walk to. We used as a base for parks visiting, and would recommend to do so everyone. Perfect for bigger famiies.

  Obviously this place is a work in progress. Clean but more like a nostel

  Clean, tidy, nice location + amazing hosts at very reasonable price. I would stay here again for next Orlando trip for sure! :)

  Meredith is a beautiful person! really nice apartment, clean and easy to go every where. Next time I'll be there again!

  Quay

  The place and our hosts, Meridith and Sam, were both incredibly awesome. The cabin was very clean and the beds were super comfy. Seriously - we didn't want to get up in the morning! The area is pretty quiet (bar the usual suspects - airplanes) and there is a big enclosed lot that quite a few cars can park in. It is small but cozy and everything is up to date. The dock was our favorite part. It is a multi level dock with benches on the top deck so that you can sit and look over the lake.... More »
