The Lake House is a lovely, victorian B&B overlooking Lake Apopka. Its a romantic setting for special events. We hosted our son's wedding rehearsal dinner in their banquet room. The food & service were very good. Our family stayed in the beautifully decorated, comfortable guest rooms. We were served full breakfasts each morning. More

My first B&B experience - overall - a nice place to stay. Great ownership - great decor - wonderful place to simply hang out and enjoy life. Very peaceful, relaxing and an excellent change of pace. Breakfast and coffee were always top-notch! More

Cathy, Dave, Sophie and Bear - Thank you, you all contributed to the fond memories of my solo trip through Florida. I was very lucky to have picked the Lakehouse for my short but very pleasant stay in the Inverness area and your beautiful and very welcoming home. If I was to come back to Florida and Inverness there would... More

I live here in this great, warm and sunny state. I live on the west coast, near some of the best beaches in Florida. And I have found this wonderful little jewel right here in center Florida. I have been under stress for the past few years with health issues, it literally raining in my living room, and of course... More

Have been to the lakehouse three times, and each time I fall a little more in love! Cathy is always so welcoming, and makes you feel more like a welcome friend than a paying guest. The house is beautiful, with a lovely view of the lake. We brought our jet skis and were able to launch them a short distance... More

Although we arrived late at night without a reservation or calling ahead, Cathy opend the door for us and we felt welcomed from the first minute on. We initially planned to stay one night only but half an hour later, sitting in this amazing and cozy living room with a glas of wine and having great conversation with her and... More

What a perfect weekend hideaway! This unique lakefront B and B is situated on absolutely lovely grounds with huge oaks that evoke a feeling of yesteryear. Comfy bedrooms, relaxing common areas, and charming, expansive outdoor grounds to roam make this a unique find. Hospitality abounds, breakfast is wonderful. If you go, be SURE to have dinner at the McLeod House... More

A conference at St. Pete Beach took us to Florida, but we added on two days so we could travel up to Cross Creek to visit Marjorie Kinnan Rawlngs State Park. We hoped to match that adventure with lodging capturing something of Old Florida and the history of the area. We weren't disappointed when we found the Lake House. It... More

I travel throughout Central Florida on a regular basis and have been staying at The Lake House for several days every couple of months for over three years, so I've stayed in every room in the house. The house has always been clean (even through some major upgrading projects) and wonderfully decorated - just like it came straight from the... More
