About this property

The legendary Sleepy Hollow

Charming canal front cottage with boat dock and canal access to the Tsala Apopka chain of lakes. Three bedrooms - one king, one queen and one full plus a futon. Two full bathrooms. Serene water views and wildlife all around including sandhill cranes, deer, wild boar, and occasional gators. This is a bird watchers paradise. You can fish from the backyard or the dock or bring your boat and fish the lakes. There is a boat ramp on the opposite side of the property. Tons of water to canoe or kayak as well.

A hidden gem

This was hands down the cleanest place I have ever stayed in. We were here for 6 weeks, and loved every minute of it. Internet worked great which was a plus for my working husband. The bar/food truck next door was excellent. Good prices and the best food ever. The best part, the people were so friendly and I feel like I made many new friends. Nelson and Jesse were great to work with as the owners. Can’t wait to go back!

We loved this place

This place was amazing. It was a great location and a great size. I wish it was warmer so we could have taken advantage of the water right outside the door but it was beautiful and I hope to be back for another stay.

The Legendary Sleepy Hollow, Floral City Florida

We stayed in the house on Gobbler Drive; which turned out to be a hidden gem. We did not realize the owner also had a bar and grill, a private boat ramp for guests, and RV park on site; all within the area of the house. House was settled on a canal which fed to Lake Tsala Apopka. No problem getting my pontoon boat in and around navigating. The owner and his wife are fantastic people. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyed; and it was a pleasure to have conversation with them. Considering they had just went through a major hurricane; they made sure the house we were staying in, and the grounds around the place was in tip top condition. It is those types of things that I appreciate in people. Although a bar is there, the evenings were very quiet and comfortable. No unnecessary noise; or roudy drunks raising cane. I 100% recommend this place for a great get-away! I will certainly return there again!! ps: do the Pirate Ship tour!!!

We love Sleepy Hollow!!

Four of us stayed here for 10 weeks while we did wildlife research in the area, and we could not have found a better place to stay. We could fish and launch kayaks from the backyard, and the birds and wildlife were sublime. The spot is quiet and peaceful, but live music and the bar/food truck next door gave us something fun to do on the weekends. We absolutely loved getting to know Nelson and Jessie and the Floral City community. We hope to be back to visit soon!!

Hospitality can't compare

This place is perfect for a weekend getaway. The owner went above and beyond with accommodations. Live music on the weekends, right next door. He even bought the kids ice cream which people really don't anymore. It's the small things that count in my book. Property was clean with all the necessities. Kids caught fish right in the back yard/ lake. We will be booking again in the near future!

A piece of heaven

My family and I stayed here for Spring break. We wanted a quick getaway with peace and quiet. This is exactly that! The property is spacious, the house is wonderful, the waterfront is serene! We absolutely loved this trip! Everything that we needed was there. We enjoyed days of relaxation! There's a great little store down the road called Boondocks that makes amazing sandwiches and has fishing supplies. This is a must for those that like outdoors, nature and relaxing.
