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!

What You’ll Love:
Cozy, Private Bedrooms
Every bedroom is designed for comfort and calm, offering plush bedding, inviting decor, and space to unwind. Whether you're watching the sunrise from bed or enjoying a quiet moment away from the group, you’ll feel instantly at home.

Perfect Family Layout
The home’s open layout gives you space to gather and room to retreat. Enjoy movies in the large living area, quiet time in a sunny reading nook, or competitive fun in the game room—everyone can find their own favorite spot.

Spacious Kitchen for Together Time
The fully stocked kitchen is perfect for family meals, morning coffee, or late-night snacks. With plenty of counter space and all the tools you need, it’s a great place to reconnect over good food and conversation.

Stunning Lake Views
Start your day with the sun rising over Lake Otis and end it with golden-hour reflections off the water. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the patio or just enjoying the view from bed, the lakeside backdrop adds magic to every moment.

Backyard Fun for Everyone
The outdoor space is made for making memories:
• Pool time (with pool volleyball!)
• Kids’ play area
• Cornhole and ping pong
• Swings and outdoor lounge seating
• Gas grill & smoker for cookouts

Bass Fishing & Water Sports
Lake Otis is known for great bass fishing—cast right from the private dock. Paddleboards are available, or bring your own boat or jet skis (a public ramp is just 1.1 miles away).

Pontoon Tours, Water Skiing & More (Optional Add-On)
Book a discounted private boat excursion with our on-call Master Captain & X-Games finalist. From fishing and ski lessons to laid-back sunset cruises—it’s an unforgettable add-on to your lakeside stay.

Indoor Game Room + Movie Nights
The indoor game room is a hit with guests of all ages. Challenge each other on the pool table or multi-game table, then cozy up for a family movie night after a day in the sun.

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.

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!

Our Short-term rental stay

Our stay at this gorgeous 4-bedroom home on Lake Otis was absolutely perfect for a couples’ getaway! The house was spacious and beautifully designed, giving each couple plenty of privacy while still offering cozy gathering spaces for us to relax together. We loved spending our days boating and paddleboarding on the lake, lounging by the pool, and enjoying all the games and activities available. The setting was serene, with stunning views of the lake that made every moment feel like a retreat. It was the perfect mix of fun and relaxation—we can’t wait to book again!”

Our family stay

Our family had an absolutely fantastic stay at this amazing 4-bedroom home on Lake Otis! The house was spacious, beautifully maintained, and perfectly equipped for a fun-filled getaway. We loved spending time on the lake boating with our organized tour captain and paddleboarding. The kids couldn’t get enough of the swimming pool. There were so many games to take advantage of in the game room. Everyone in the family had something to do. The peaceful lake views and cozy atmosphere made it a perfect spot to relax and make memories. We can’t wait to come back for another stay! Highly recommend!”
