Lakeside Cottage, a slice of paradise!

With its bright and airy open concept layout you enter this 2 bedroom/2 bathroom 1100 square foot house into the open-concept living/dining/kitchen room, which boasts a comfortable three-person couch and chair, an HD smart television and dining area. The space is designed to welcome you with its relaxed and cozy color palette to ensure that you feel immediately at ease. Secure, 75mbps Wi-Fi Internet is included throughout the house, of course! Take a look at our video "Lakeside Cottage, a slice of paradise!" on our You Tube channel, Our Sebring life and more (@oursebringlife).

Moving into the kitchen that has been updated and upgraded with mahogany cabinetry and stainless steel appliances you will find it to be nicely equipped with all the dishes, silverware, dinnerware and accessories that you will need for your stay. The view into the lush, private back yard and lake takes center stage.

As you pass through into the screened-in patio you can enjoy a functional and comfortable seating area where you can enjoy a cup of coffee while watching ducks, geese, sandhill cranes and others alight onto the pristine waters of Lake Brinkley. Just outside the screened in patio, you will find a bar-b-que station. There are also two kayaks located up against the shed in the backyard free to our guests that they may use on Lake Brinkley or Lake Clay which is a short drive away.

Both bedrooms are nicely appointed. The master bedroom contains a king bed and its own en-suite bathroom with a walk in shower and an ample closet with shelving and plenty of hangers as well as extra blankets and pillows. The roomy guest bedroom also boasts a closet with shelving and plenty of hangers as well as extra blankets and pillows for your personal use. Just off the living room area you will find the second bathroom. Both bathrooms have been freshly updated and are inlaid with stones and decorative tile. Between the bedrooms is the linen closet that houses extra towels, sheets and any personal hygiene items you may need for your stay.

On the other side of the house you will find a smaller room which we refer to as the “flex” room. The room contains comfortable chairs, a television and a work desk. Perfect for relaxing after a day on the water or the golf course!

A private, fully equipped laundry room with a high efficiency washer and dryer is available to you day and night and is located across from the flex room. There is plenty of parking for two to three cars on the driveway.

Great weather, fabulous lakes and multiple outdoor activities abound in beautiful Highlands County. Lake Placid enjoys over 250 sunny days a year with average temperatures of 90 degrees in the summer months and lows during the winter months averaging 50 degrees. Endless sunshine and lakes means many sport activities such as fishing, pontoon rides, water skiing, jet skiing and so much more. A must see is Highlands Hammock Park located about 15 minutes north in Sebring with its many nature trails and multitude of wildlife. The list of activities is endless!

For your convenience, we provide a binder at the home with the closest supermarkets, pharmacies, local eateries, bars, etc. to help you get started!

Wonderfully surprised. Didn’t know what the place would really look like.. just the pics. Everything was better than we could have imagined. Comfortable beds, nice living room with reclining ends of the couch, a breakfast/dinner table with 4chairs and a very nice kitchen, stocked with pretty much anything you would need. Large fridge, electric stove, microwave and coffee maker. One car carport, with a propane gas grill, and a screened porch overlooking a small lake. Owners could not have been nicer, always checking on us due to the hurricane and numerous tornado warnings. Will be our first call if we need to get away from the coast again. Thank you to the owners!!!
