Charming Craftsman style cottage nestled among the oaks.

This tiny cottage, nestled among the azaleas and shaded by towering oaks, offers a quiet retreat for one, two or three people seeking privacy and tranquility while still being close to popular attractions and activities.  Seasonal, monthly and weekly stays are available.

Newly restored, this 1930s Craftsman-style cottage attracts artists, writers and researchers looking for a quiet setting in which to work.  The cottage is equipped with high speed internet access, as well as a writing/computer desk in the living room and an art table on the sun porch.    

Lake Helen itself must be seen to be believed, with its streets of 1880s homes, unpaved lanes, an abundant canopy of trees, and a small town lifestyle. 

Guests seeking solitude can simply step back in time, walking or bicycling through this idyllic setting.

Those seeking more activity can choose from an extensive selection of beaches, state parks, theme parks, antique shops, theaters, and sports events, all within 30-50 minutes away. Guests can visit attractions such as Disney World or the Daytona Speedway and “come home� to their own private retreat.

Lake Helen is located in central Florida, 30 minutes northeast of Orlando, 16 miles west of New Smyrna Beach, and 30 minutes southwest of Daytona Beach.  It is easily accessible from I-95 (16 miles) and  I-4 (right off Exit 116).
