Holiday rentals with lake access in Tavares

Can't say enough great things about Jonathan and his place! We loved staying there, felt right at home, we were there with 5 kids and there was always something fun for them to do, swimming in the pool and hot tub, s'mores by the fire, pool, air hockey, pacman was a hit, basketball, and lots of games, books and movies to choose from. There was plenty of space to spread out and feel comfortable and Jonathan added so many thoughtful touches to our stay - greeting us with an Apple Pie on the kitchen counter, a bowl of chocolates in the entry way and plenty of coffee. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, there were plenty of towels for showers and swimming, life jackets were supplied. The kids said they wanted to move there : ). Need I say more? haha

Shane was super helpful, responsive and communicated well. The house really met the needs of our project. Shane was a fantastic host.

We had a beautiful weekend stay with trips to Silver Springs and lakes. Loved visiting J Birds Camp, just a paddle or walk away from the house, with a weekend of reggae music and delicious food trucks. Only downside of this stay is the furniture is not comfortable enough for a week long stay which is something I’d love in the future. Loved the Florida Cracker house and very well furnished with kayaks, canoes, etc.

Beautiful home! Awesome host! We will for sure be back!!!

Communication was very good and timely with host. Home was very nice and clean. Beds are very comfortable. I’d recommend staying here and will definitely stay here in the future.

This was our second time staying at The Acorn. The house was very clean and was stocked with everything we needed...toilet paper, hand soap, dish soap, paper towels, coffee and tea supplies...so pleased that we didn't need to run to the store to get any of these items! Dan and Michelle are very quick to respond if we ever need anything. Had some issues with the internet and it was taken care of in a very timely manner. We love relaxing in the back yard and enjoying all of the wild life. The alligators won't bother you if you don't bother them! I absolutely recommend Dan and Michelle's beautifully decorated home to anyone who would like a relaxing, clean, and comfortable place to spend their vacation!

The view of the lake is sensational. The home is nicely furnished with antique furniture and everything you need to relax. Large, shaded front yard with plenty of parking.

This property is peaceful and on a corner lot to provide the most privacy in the neighborhood. There was plenty of wildlife. Access to the river and Springs was easy, close, and inside a beautiful and private park. The house is spotless and updated. The hosts are wonderful. We can't wait to go back!

This was the most amazing trip we’ve taken to date and having a great place to rest our heads was super important. The apartment had everything we needed and even extras! Cheryl was an amazing hostess from her quick response time to helping me create a birthday surprise for my fiance. Her and Tod were delightful the few times we saw each other. They have a stack of menus for local businesses in the nightstand which helped us find our new favorite place for when we stay again! The apartment was neat, clean and despite it being Florida, we didn’t see any buggies inside. The outside portion had so many nice places to sit, we loved every second of enjoying the outdoors in the various sitting areas. We just had an amazing time and we can’t wait to stay again. The space is beautiful and i don’t know if i can say enough to really explain just how much we enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing this space Cheryl and Tod!

5 stars all around! I just spent 5 nights at the Treehouse and hated to leave. I'm in sync with all the other reviews as they say it all! Perfect place just off the highways but close to the necessities in the Orlando/Lakeland area. Delightful views on Lake Ariana and plenty of rabbits and squirrels to watch while relaxing at the end of the day. Joni and Dennis were wonderful hosts and just a text away to answer any questions. Definitely will stay here again when I get back to the area. BOOK IT!

Jodi was always very responsive. We ended up having to do a late check in, and Jodi was very responsive. I was grateful that he allowed us to bring our dog to his home. The backyard is simply amazing. If you can, let him know in advanced the time of your check in and tell him about your A/C temperature preference, as the control is in his home. Even when we checked in late, he was attentive and accommodating in regards to this too.

This was a great find! Clean and looked just like the pictures. Quiet and comfortable!

It’s a clean and modern apartment with an excellent view of the lake. William was attentive and kind. The apartment felt like home and had easy access to highways. I would definitely be staying here again, especially that I have family who live 4 mins away.

We needed a place to stay last minute and this place was perfect and exactly as described, quiet and a wonderful stay! Garry was very communicative and though we didn’t have any problems, Garry offered his help if we needed it. Thanks for a great stay!

I’ve been to a lot of Airbnb’s and the decor in this one was one of my favorites. Very comfortable bed. Lots of towels, toilet paper and soaps. The location was perfect for me because it’s right by my friend’s house so I was visiting. I went to a couple of different lakes and watch the sunrise. Had a couple of nice meals in Winterhaven would definitely definitely stay here again.

There are so many reasons we keep coming back year after year. Nancy’s apartment is in the perfect peaceful location, and she as our host has been a blessing from the start! It’s our home away from home. Thank you for your hospitality.

The location was great. It’s a quick drive to Peppa Pig Theme Park, Artcade and Whitehead Blueberry Farm. The walk to Grove Roots Brewery was less than 10mins. Bok Tower is a 30mins drive. The house was very kid friendly! We have a 4 month old and 2 year old. It worked out so well. The hosts were very nice! We would stay there again!

Beautiful venue for my intimate wedding elopement. Alisha allowing me to take photos with the horses was a magical addition to my perfect big day. Lovely place to stay as always.

My daughter and I love it here! Very quiet and friendly place. Definitely will stay again

My stay was absolutely beautiful—peaceful, cozy, and everything I hoped for. The private lake was incredibly relaxing, perfect for unwinding and taking in nature. The cottage itself was amazing—well-kept, charming, and had such a welcoming, at-home feel. It was the perfect escape.

From when we got there to when we left, Jerome was nothing but kind and was incredibly responsive to anything we may need! Would recommend to anyone in the area!

We stayed here with 10 women on a lady retreat it was perfect - all the amenities you could need and more with the kayaks and St John’s River and many springs nearby. Would definitely stay again!

Lovely home in a friendly neighborhood and close to so many attractions. Kenneth was friendly and very welcoming and responsive to my questions.

I think our 4th or 5th stay at this location. We'll return. It's one of our Happy Places!!!
