Lakeside Adventure Retreat w/ Heated Pool, Fishing Dock, Game Room & Optional 1 hr Boat Cruise*
Charming Lakeside Retreat with Modern Comforts in Winter Haven, Florida
Escape to your own private paradise on Lake Otis—where modern comfort meets the charm of lakeside living. This cozy and eclectic home is more than just a place to stay—it’s a place to feel at home, relax, and reconnect with the people who matter most.
Whether you're gathering for family fun or looking for peaceful solitude, the thoughtful layout of the home offers the perfect blend of shared spaces and quiet corners. From waking up to breathtaking sunrises over the lake from the comfort of your bed, to spending quality time together in the spacious kitchen or lounging in the game room, every moment here is designed to make you feel welcome and at ease.
Guests often love it so much, they skip a day at the parks just to soak it all in—and it’s easy to see why! Enjoy hours of fun without ever leaving the property: swim in the sparkling pool, let the kids play in their own dedicated area, challenge each other in the game room, or unwind with a movie night.
As a bonus, booking this home includes access to optional adventure packages—pontoon tours, fishing trips, or water skiing—led by a Master Captain and X-Games finalist at discounted rates!

This was a great home with little touches that made our stay very comfortable. We often take weekend trips in Florida with a multigenerational group and this was one of the best experiences we have had. If you are planning a stay in Winter Haven, Florida-this is your place.

The property was exactly as described. This was a perfect place for 7 adult softball teammates to stay and hang out. The host was very imformative and responsive. If we had needed anything, I am sure that it would have been taken care of promptly. We will stay again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this home. It was spacious, well equipped, clean and had plenty to do without having to leave. It was very convenient to shopping and restaurants but still very peaceful when you were sitting out back. My only suggestion would be to replace the master bedroom mattress. It was sagging on both sides and not very comfortable. All of the other beds were fine! We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing weekend
This house is gorgeous with plenty of space for our 3 families. Endless fun for the kids and great places to relax outside and in for the adults. The pontoon ride was a great treat!

Fantastic Home
The house is beautiful and offers great amenities. We especially enjoyed watching the sunrise on the lake every morning. The location is also fantastic...there are a surprising number of really good restaurants around the lakes in Winter Haven not to mention the close proximity to Florida tourist attractions.

Weekend getaway
We all had a great time at the lake house. The house and landscape exudes old Florida charm but has clearly had lots of recent renovations and updates both inside and out. The house is very spacious, nicely equipped and very clean. Our only recommendation would be to have some options on the heated pool temperature (which may be possible, we didn't ask, but would have preferred a bit warmer). Overall we really liked the house and would be happy to stay there again.
