Feeling of Old Florida
The property fully met our expectations and placed us in an area of Florida that we had never experienced. Lake County has about 1100 lakes some of which are huge. The LC Water Authority has a dozen areas or more that are preserves for water quality and flora and fauna protection. Many trails are available to hike and birding was good in a couple of the preserves. We even saw a bear track, but not the bear that made it. The hosts were great and we found all the people we met to be friendly. I imagine this will become a repeat trip in the not to distant future.

Above Expectations
The host was very accommodating and put the extra effort in down to the little details. We were in town for a wedding, and this home was the perfect location. The outdoor space and lake view were enchanting. The house was decorated for the holidays, which made it feel warm and inviting. Would definitely recommend.

Must needed relaxing Weekend
Beautiful property, you honestly can not help but relax when you stay at Red Bird Cottage. There are porches surrounding the house with comfortable seating to watch the wildlife and view the lake. Kayaks waiting on the dock for lake exploring. Fire pit with wood ready to go and a gas grill. Plan on visits from Sandhill cranes and Osceola turkeys. The house is clean and truly charming. The hosts are very accommodating and seem to be sincere in their desire for you to enjoy your stay.
The only downside is that you walk through the master bedroom to get to the second bedroom and the bathroom is in the master bedroom.
I hope to bring my husband back for a couple weekend.

Felt like our own treehouse cottage
We had a very nice stay at the cottage. It was calm, relaxing and the hosts were accessible, communicative, and kind. We had a little bad luck with the weather but the hosts were very generous, helping to assure we enjoyed our time and felt safe. And our pooches loved it! We felt like we were in a tree house, it was splendid.

Amazing views!
Property views were absolutely amazing and peaceful! I wish we had more time to enjoy during our 3 night stay. Property is nestled between equestrian farms right on a lake. The home is cozy and only critique would be the two bedrooms are connected by a slat type door so you don’t have a lot of privacy. The bathroom is in the master so the guest room must come through master to use. Coffee bar was a wonderful touch!! Deck area is expansive and looks right on the lake. Great fishing dock! Our teens loved it!

So lovely
Absolutely beautiful home and setting. Peaceful and secluded. The lake at sunrise and the horses and cows on the property were icing on the cake. We were sorry to only be able to stay 2 nights for this trip. We will be back for a longer stay!
It is a truly beautiful lake house with plenty of room. Not far from the city and all it's amenities. I lovingly recommend a visit to this piece of the quiet country living on the lake.
Beautiful property. Quiet, peaceful. A great place to relax and enjoy the view. The cottage is well decorated and comfortable.

Terrific location, Terrific atmosphere, Terrific space
Our youngest daughter was getting married at Moss Estates nearby. This space from the time we walked in was absolutely perfect. Great location, absolutely perfect David was responsive with any questions we had. My wife loved it and she is sometimes hard to please. This was the best place we have ever stayed at. Felt like home We will be going back soon to explore the area Eustis was great also Downtown has lots of spaces to view. We absolutely loved the entire stay. Thank you David.

Owner Abruptly Rude
When I reserved property I emailed & stated we were going to have a group of friends for dine & unwind. Only 2 were going to stay over. Husband replied "let us know if you need anything". After dinner, owner wife came over vocally abrasive that we were having a party, too loud
in a quiet neighborhood and parking on easement, of which NONE was true. We offered to leave, packed & cleaned, she then returned w/her mom and continued that she had video and was willing for us to stay & not report. We are a group of responsible, professional women who just wanted bbq & smores on a peaceful quiet lake, and the video will only prove her disrespectful behavior. If they had replied that they had a max allowed, I would have cancelled reservation.

Redbird Cottage
Cottage was great, just as advertised. Beautiful view of the lake out the sliding glass doors, and the deck and dock were both great places to relax. I imagine it would have been much more peaceful without the constant banging and beeping of the heavy machinery being used to clear the land next door from 8am-4pm every day, and the heavy smoke and ashes all over my car from the burning of the trees. I like a good campfire, but the smell was too much at times. Still gave it 5 stars because the actual rented property was great!

Cottage on the Lake
We came to the Redbird cottage for my husband’s birthday weekend. This is our favorite rental so far. The house was so clean with everything we needed for our stay. Sitting on the deck or dock in the morning or evening was a perfect way to spend our time. The owner handled a small problem quickly as soon as we spoke to him. Would love to return for another visit!

A very special thank you to the owners for creating such a relaxing getaway space - that is pet friendly! Our fur babies were even in heaven! I wish we could give more than 5 stars.
