Everything! 3/2, FREE golf & 4-seat cart, Resident passes, pets, Lake Sumter Sq.

Welcome to Mutterhaüs. This well-cared for home home located in the Village of Amelia offers peace and relaxation while only a short drive to nightly entertainment at Lake Sumter Square. This house is just about an hour from theme parks and children are welcome.

If Mutterhaus is not available, be sure to check out it' sister houses also in The Villages: Ruhe Haus, in the Village of Collier (VRBO # 1776354), Friedlich Haus (2558608), and Glucklich Haus (2964582).

A Yamaha gas golf car, 4-seater with USB phone chargers is included with the rental - a value of over $200 per week. The back seat also drops down to allow for easy grocery transport when not strapping in golf clubs. Also included are two Resident Lifestyle passes - saving you $50 - and the ability to obtain additional guest passes at no charge.

Well-decorated and maintained, the home has luxury vinyl flooring/tile and lovely, cordless window shutters throughout. Amenities include stainless steel appliances, Keurig coffee maker (and backup large pot coffee maker), blender, mixer, baking utensil, and an ample supply of high quality dishes, silverware, glasses, wine glasses, and cookware. Other amenities include a BBQ grill, wi-fi, cable TV, and Smart TVs with voice remote in the living room and master bedroom. Beach towels are provided for days at the village pool or the beach as are camp chairs. This home also has a portable crib/playpen, high chair and infant swing for families with very young children. A washer and dryer are located in the laundry room.

The master bedroom has a king-size bed and a walk-in shower in the master bath. The guest room is a queen-size bed, located off the hallway and which can be closed off from the living area with a sliding door. The third bedroom has a futon couch that pulls out to a double bed, with all bed linens and pillows tucked away in the closet. This is also the office with a desk, printer, and office supplies (pens, pencils, clips, etc.) There are also several board games and puzzles to enjoy.

In addition to the living and dining area (sits 6), the home has a relaxing, enclosed sun room and a screened porch. A great place for coffee in the morning or an after-dinner drink. Please view the video for a complete perspective on this property.

Pets are welcome with prior approval and an additional $150 cleaning fee (in total, not per pet).

Visiting friends in The Villages.
Everything met or exceeded our expectations, from booking, communicating with the owner, instructions covering everything one would question. The only negative comment is the couch and loveseat are extremely uncomfortable. Upgrading the furniture would be the icing on the cake!

Beautiful home, has everything you need plus a quiet Yamaha gold car!
We always love our stay with this exceptional host. The home is comfortable and has anything you could possibly need. We have stayed at two of her properties and they’re fantastic! Animals welcomed and a great golf car provided. Her kindness and hospitality is why I will keep renting and telling our friends and family about her properties.

Recommend this property!
We stayed in February 2024 and had a great stay. This is a very comfortable house with everything you need for a visit to the Villages. We used the golf cart to go to the pool, shopping and to the squares in the evenings. Bed and furniture were comfortable. We used the gas grill for dinner one evening. Nice quiet neighborhood. This is the second house we have rented from this owner and we highly recommend her!

Flawless!
We have been using VRBO since its infancy in the mid 90's. You can tell immediately when an owner has their "act together." Never spoke directly to Joni, not because we're unfriendly but BECAUSE WE NEVER NEEDED TO! House is beautifully decorated and as well-supplied as any we have rented. Everything was in good working order and we enjoyed the flexibility of the golf cart at our disposal. Thanks, Joni, and keep up the good work!

Great Stay at Mutterhaus
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful and clean home. This is one of the nicest VRBO homes we have rented and we would definitely stay again. It included a golf cart which we didn't get to use since our friends picked us up every day and took us places. We had so much fun discovering The Villages. We can't wait to go back.

Great Place-Great Location
We enjoyed our stay at the Mutterhaus. The house was beautifully decorated with all updated appliances. The location was great for getting to the squares, restaurants and shops. Joni does a great job of keeping the house in great condition. We enjoyed meeting and talking to many of the residents in the Villages. Everyone made us feel welcomed. Will be looking to return in 2023 & plan on possibly moving there in a couple of years.

Delightful Two-Week Stay
This property is exceptional. The 3 bedroom 2 bath home is fully stocked and impeccably clean and we were so comfortable from the first moment. We lacked for nothing. The decor is charming. The host Joni gave us her personal golf cart when we had a slight problem with the one provided and she handled our requests promptly and graciously. The central location is convenient to all amenities and is very close to Lake Sumpter Landing where shops and restaurants surround a lovely town square. We would definitely rent this lovely home again. Thank you Joni!

Exploring The Villages
We rented this beautiful, spacious and well appointed home for almost a month in the late spring. We had a golf cart at our disposal, big kitchen for cooking, washer/dryer and an office space for the few days I needed to work. It’s a comfortable house and 15min golf cart ride to Sumpter Landing for the daily entertainment.

About the host

Hosted by Joni Newkirk

Host profile image
I live in The Villages full time. Someday, I hope to retire and enjoy all The Villages has to offer. Right now, I live vicariously through my neighbors.

Why they chose this property

Investment/rental homes are a hobby for me. The four homes I currently have on VRBO - Mutterhaus, Ruhe Haus, Friedlich Haus and Glucklich Haus- are all lovingly cared for to both retain their value and provide a premium, "at home" experience for guests. If you think of anything during your stay that is missing, but would be great to have, let me know. Your feedback is extremely valuable.

What makes this property unique

Great home in the Village of Amelia, a sought-after location near lake Sumter Landing. The four seat, gas golf car will allow you to explore with confidence and Resident passes will give you access to all the amenities afforded to residents of The Villages.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
