About this property
"The Cutty Shack" Lake House on Kissimmee River
"Cutty Shack" is the perfect fishing retreat. It is a 3 bedroom, 3 bath home built by our family in 1969. The Cutty Shack will sleep 6-7. This large stilt home (all living area is upstairs) is situated directly over the Kissimmee River and right next door to Camp Mack River Resort. You and your group can enjoy peaceful evenings in the house, or walk next door to grab a drink and watch a "weigh-in".
Life on the Kissimmee River is very peaceful. On some weekends and holidays, Camp Mack may have concerts and fishing tournaments, making the scene more lively. Lake Kissimmee State Park is less than one mile away and is a great place for picnics or hikes. If you have a large group, the Cutty Shack is so close to Camp Mack that additional members of your party can stay there and still be within walking distance.
Additional information: Parking for pick-up trucks and trailers is available on the property. Camp Mack amenities include Boat ramp ($6), camp store, ATM, fishing licenses, bait, and tackle. There is even a food truck if you don't catch enough fish for dinner. Airboat rides provided by local guides are available through Alligator Cove Airboat Nature Tours.
The Cutty Shack is a stilt house over 50 years old in the middle of Florida. It was built by our family for our family. At any time of year, we may have lots of bugs, gators, sandhill cranes, etc. If you are looking for a place to stay while you fish or hunt, this is it. Evening activities include playing cards, games, watching movies or sitting by the fire at Camp Mack. It is rural and rustic. If you are looking for new, modern and fancy, you may want to look closer to Orlando or check out the Hampton Inn in Lake Wales.
Our house maybe just 20 minutes from downtown Lake Wales, but it's a world away. Bring your bass boat! We have a boat slip under the house that is included in the rental.
Five generations of our family have enjoyed this little slice of Florida paradise, and we hope you will too!

About the host
Hosted by Kristin Morton
Why they chose this property
Cutty Shack was built by our family in 1967. This part of Florida had been home to several generations of our family dating back to the Civil War. In the 1960's our grandparents and their siblings returned to the area to relax and fish on the weekends. We continue to follow in their footsteps and gather with our children and grandchildren. This is our favorite spot to slow down and spend time with family and friends.
What makes this property unique
If you've never boated or fished Lake Kissimmee or Lake Hatchineha, you may be surprised to find that it is possible to be on a lake not far from Disney World, and feel so surrounded by nature.
