Rustic 1940s Lakefront Fishing Cottage w/ Dock, Canoe & Stunning Views – Perfect Old Florida Escape!

Welcome to our cozy and rustic 1940s fishing cottage, nestled at the edge of Walk In Water Lake in the heart of Lake Wales. This charming 3-bedroom retreat offers a perfect blend of rustic charm and everyday comforts, ideal for anglers, nature lovers, or anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The cottage features three comfortable bedrooms, two bathrooms - each with walk-in showers - and a fully equipped kitchen & charming dining area to gather around and share special moments. The living area is the heart of the cottage where you can relax, watch TV, enjoy your favorite novel or Scrabble time with the kids. The decor is comfortable and reflects the warmth you'll find within the cottage. Enjoy your morning coffee sitting on the dock with serene views of the surrounding nature, or cast a line for a day of fishing on the lake. You're welcome to bring your own boat, use our canoe as well or we can recommend local rentals for you as well! There is a boat ramp less than 5 minutes away!

Short Stay in Paradise
We had a wonderful stay. The home was fantastic, and we thoroughly enjoyed the boat dock. The only complaint I have is the fossette water smelled after running for a few seconds. And you would benefit from adding a coffee pot and removing the Keurig.

We were there for work. It meet all of our requirements for myself and my employees, we were close to our job and supplies were about 20-30 minutes away from our location. We had what we needed to make our stay a lot better than a hotel. We will use your company again when we have to go back.

Our stay at the Cottage
My boyfriend and I were honored to be the first guests at this cozy cottage on Walk In Water Lake. The checkin instructions and the online guestbook provided by iTrip to get us familiarize with the place was amazing. We went canoeing and sat on the dock listening to the peace and quiet this lake has to offer. If you are looking for a place to relax and escape the hustle and bustle, this is the place! We did not fish, but we heard that bass fishing is great.

Our Lake Getaway
Our stay at the cottage was unforgettable. We invited our friends to stay with us and we were very comfortable. This cottage is very cozy and offers all the comfort necessary. We grilled a nice meal and watched a great movie on Netflix. Our friends really enjoyed canoeing around the lake while watching the wildlife. We will be back. Thank you iTrip for the great hospitality!
