I'm very excited to have found a wonderful tool on Airbnb that helps me with my listing of ALL my properties and options. If you click on the link it brings you to my profile and all the properties I own for you to zip through quickly. Give it a try!www.airbnb.com/p/swanlaketwins

The summer is passing so quickly and soon school will be back in session so why not plan a few days with friends at the lake? We have two really cute cottages right next to each other, just steps away, that are feeling 'lonely' without you! Check them out on Airbnb to see pictures and also dates that they are available. Then get back here, message me and we will come up with a rental rate that eliminates the Airbnb fees! Everyone likes to save a little money! SHARE with your friends...you never know who needs a last minute getaway. airbnb.com/h/lshaven

We are on a summertime roll! And it is time for family and friends to join together and vacation CLOSE but not in the same unit so we have put together a special 'package' combining the Bungalow and the Cottage to save you some money. Why not check with your friends or family members to see if this is an option for you! Then get back to me and ask for your special price!

I finally found the time to sit down and design a page for Sandy Toes Bungalow. I hope everyone will visit the page, LIKE and FOLLOW it and share it with your family and friends both on and off Facebook. I'd sure appreciate it. And then...why not book a stay in one or both of these cottages?

Happy New Year! The holidays are past so it's time to start thinking about spring and what a wonderful time you would have on our beautiful lake and lounging in the hot tub while indulging in some special beverages. Yes, this could be YOUR time to enjoy a little getaway. The month of January can seem very long so why not take advantage of our lower prices at the Lily Pad. And great news! By the end of this month we will have another little cottage (Sandy Toes Bungalow) right next door available to house your friends or relatives. Between the two cottages, it will sleep 8! Ask me about renting one or the other or both! See my calendar at this link but then come back here to save money by booking direct!

Celebrate your holiday complete with Christmas decorations and a tree. Hope you will come and also share this with your FB friends!

I just wanted to let people know, if you are trying to vacation in FL this fall or winter and are wondering whether to do it or not, the Lily Pad is unscathed by Hurricane Helene and we are open for business. Water in the lake and the shoreline have come up a few feet but with drier fall weather, that will recede. Why not check out our calendar at the Airbnb listing and then come back here to get a great discount on your stay!

We've added two Paddle Boards to our water fun toys. Kneel or stand or sit...the choice is yours but only if you come and stay with us this summer. Enjoy a king size bed for a restful sleep so you can hit the lake first thing in the morning. Kayaks, canoe, peddle boat and lots of float await. Come stay with us. Check out the new pricing on our Airbnb listing and then come back here to see what kind of deal I can offer you minus those pesky fees! airbnb.com/h/lilypadswanlake
And please share this post with your friends. You never know who is just itching to go on vacay!
