Just like home with benefits!!

Walked in and just felt so comfortable and welcomed. Very clean, everything was provided. Being right on the canal with the boat house was really convenient. Was supposed to go in September but due to hurricanes we had to reschedule and the host was so easy to work with. Communication was exceptional. Will definitely be back.

Great place to stay!

Right on a canal. We put the boats in the water when we arrived and went fishing whenever we wanted, without the hassel of taking them out every night and launching again the next day. The house was very clean and perfect for our needs.

Our second time staying at this house. It is a great location for fishing on Lake Istokpoga, and the covered boat parking is just a bonus. The house is clean and the check in process was extremely simple. Look forward to coming back.

Nice quiet area. Great location for the lake and just a few miles from Kissimmee River Ramp. Strongly recommend doing both if you have a boat. Host was extremely responsive. House is great. Neighbors are very friendly. Coming back in a few weeks!!

Fishing and relaxing

From start to finish our time staying at this home was outstanding. The property owner was in contact well before our schedule time, informing me of any details and even a current fishing report. The home was spotless and very clean. All beds were very comfortable and great A/C witch is nice after fishing these hot days. The location is perfect very close to the boat ramp too. I only regret is I’d wished we had booked our stay longer, this place is the best.

Great Bass Fishing

The lake home was lovely and provided a perfect place for a weekend of fishing. We stayed here once before under a different owner. Ron and Susie have even improved the experience. The house was well maintained and very nicely furnished and decorated. The kitchen was well equipped and there were plenty of towels for all! The dock in back provided a nice place to tie up for a break from fishing.

Great Fishing Shack

Good, Timely communication from property manager. House as described, close to boat ramp, boat lift worked great. House was tidy and clean. Starter packs of all items needed (coffee, paper towels, etc.) were unexpected and a nice touch. Brothers and I enjoyed a quick weekend get away. Good access to lake, was nice to keep the boat on the water.

The Relaxation is for REEL

Awesome stay in a really peaceful place. Great space with lots of room to stretch out. Everything you need is supplied and the house is very clean. Susie was amazing with cimmunication beforehand, answering any questions, and making sure everything is perfect for your stay. The neighborhood is beautiful, quiet, and safe, and awesome fishing right out back (lots of panfish, and turtles come to visit you too). Our experience was great and we could ask for anything more. Dont hesitate to book and be ready to relax, fish, and be extra comfy for your entire stay.

Istokpoga safe haven!

Love this place and the owners. They have always been a pleasure to deal with. We are very fortunate to have found this place and such accommodating people to rent from. My wife is not the biggest fan of my planned fishing trips, but SHE loves coming here. That says something! This is our second year in a row renting and we can only hope to continue year after year. Thanks guys!

Fishing and Relaxing

This home was perfect for my husband, myself and my parents! It was right on a canal that had a dock with a boat lift; which made it very easy for all of us to get in and out of the boat with out having to load the boat on the trailer each time. The community was very quiet and the neighbors were friendly! My favorite part was seeing the turtle that hung out by the dock that the owners have named "Bill"! I was able to lay on the dock and hand feed him bread! We thoroughly enjoyed our week there and have already booked it again for our anniversary!

Fabulous

Wonderful place to stay. Walk into a very inviting, cozy yet plenty of room home right on the canal. Super peaceful and quiet at the end of the canal. Literally 2 minutes from the dock to the lake and about 7 minutes to the boat ramp via car and boat. Home is very clean with everything you would need for your stay. The owner is a phone call away if for any reason you would need anything at all. Susie stayed in ťouch with us often before check-in to make sure everything went smooth. Super nice and kind person. I would highly suggest this place to stay.

everything right there

We didn't really have to go anywhere. Put the boats in the water and fished whenever we wanted to. My brother Steve is a chef, so we ate just as good, probably better, than if we had gone into Sebring for dinner. My dad is 80 years old. It was perfect for him. If he didn't fishing he could relax at the lake house. We look forward to coming back again.

So Glad We Came

What a gem! If you are looking for fancy, you won’t find it here. But you will find comfort galore, wrapped up in quirky and whimsical charm and decorations. Every day I’d see something new that would catch my eye. The layout is designed with multiple areas of inside living with a screened in lanai perfect for enjoying the lake front action. The fenced in yard let our pup enjoy her outside fun too, without getting too close to the water. We totally enjoyed our stay. Found everything we needed here and more and will definitely come back and stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Susie Roscoe

Host profile image
We're a family of 4 ~ our 2 sons LOVE to fish! We bring our dogs and enjoy the laid back lifestyle that comes with it. While our boys are finishing up high school and college we're sharing this piece of Heaven with you.

Why they chose this property

We rented 'this house' 5 times and had to have it when the owner decided to sell. This place holds the memories of some of our best family vacations ~ BIG FISH STORIES ~ Home cooked meals shared around the table - We LOVED it here! We hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did! We've since added WIFI so you're as connected as YOU want to be.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy our home vs. a fish camp where you have limited space and privacy. Enjoy a fully covered & secured dock with lift for your boat and gear. You're always minutes away from being on the lake with everything at your fingertips vs. prep time required to go.
