Priced right cottage
Guest rating: 4.8 / 5
Priced right cottage is a private, Caribbean-inspired two-bedroom cottage in rural Lake Placid, Florida, renovated in 2018 and positioned as a budget-stretching alternative to a single hotel room. The home is designed for 2–4 occupants and includes two queen beds, central air conditioning and heating, and a smoke-free interior. A full kitchen setup supports longer stays, with an oven stove, microwave, cookware, linens, and key conveniences like a washer/dryer, ironing board, and coffee-making basics noted by the host. Leisure and downtime are supported with a screened-in patio, an outdoor BBQ grill area, and a SMART TV with cable. Practical touches include a security system, free parking (carport), and paid Wi‑Fi. The cottage sits near US Hwy 27, about 1.5 miles from Lake Placid’s “town of murals,” and about a 2-minute drive to the Lake Huntly boat dock and fishing pier, with several casual restaurants and grills within a few miles.
Best for
Best suited to couples, friends, or small families who want a self-contained, cost-conscious stay with full home amenities—especially a kitchen and in-unit laundry. It also fits travelers who prefer a quieter, rustic setting near Lake Placid’s murals and nearby lake access, while still being within a short drive of local dining.
Travel tips
A car is the most practical way to get around: the cottage is in a rural area, with restaurants a few kilometers away and airports far outside town (Punta Gorda Airport ~75 km; Southwest Florida International Airport ~92 km). Plan for lake time by using the nearby Lake Huntly boat dock/fishing pier (about a 2-minute drive) and consider grocery runs via US Hwy 27, which is close by. Wi‑Fi is listed as paid, so confirm connectivity needs and any fees before arrival if internet access is important.
