Incredible water views!

Close to everything, a million miles away.......

Down the two-track driveway, past the view of the nearest neighbors, our three-bedroom cottage awaits. Rest easy on the patio, with its view of the two-acre lake or cross the adjacent foot bridge to the island. Fish for bass and bream, stroll the walking path, paddle around and enjoy the wildlife, or just relax far from the madding crowd.

This slice of paradise sits on 12 acres; our home is across the lake, out of sight and out of mind.

A true cottage i.e. a small, simple, basic quality house, on a lake. Recently updated with new exterior doors, interior paint, light fixtures and all new, good quality, bed frames, mattresses and linens. Very clean, 1,056 sf foot double section manufactured home constructed in 1995 with large concrete patio at the edge of a private, naturally spring fed, small lake with island. Split floorplan, primary bedroom & bath with shower on one side and 2 bedrooms & bath with tub/shower combo on the other.

Our 12-acre site is comprised of 3 homesites. We have recently listed our RV as a short-term rental in addition to the cottage on the vacant site that has a separate power hookup & private septic but shares a water well with the cottage. All of the sites are secluded and none of the homesites are visible to each other, or any other home for that matter :)

Twisted Pine borders several thousand acres of undeveloped lands. It's an animal and nature lover's paradise and home to so many of the amazing flora & fauna native to the region. The cottage is nestled in trees such as Magnolia, Cypress, Pine, Oak, Catawba, and Hickory. It's too numerous to name all the wildlife that we've seen but a short list includes armadillo's, opossums, squirrels, raccoons, Cooter and Florida softshell turtles that make the place their permanent home in addition to the abundance of critters we've seen passing through including bobcat, gray fox, black bear, alligators and otters.

Birding at Twisted Pine is INCREDIBLE! Birds attracted to woods, water and meadow can be viewed. A partial list includes owl, hawk, eagle, kite, vulture, egret, anhinga, great blue heron, goose, turkey, wild ducks -including wood ducks, cardinal, bluebird, titmice, jay, chickadee, wren, dove, woodpecker, finch, robin, crow, sparrow, grackle, mockingbird, oriole, painted bunting, hummingbird, towhee....... The Great Horned Owl & Barred Owl calls are unforgettable, and the owls can best be seen at dawn or dusk/early night.

We try to preserve the natural biodiversity of the site overall. We do mow the path around the lake and the meadow a few times a year and we have aerators in the lake to increase oxygen levels and improve the water quality. While we have no structural flood plain issues and we do have a large open meadow between the homesites that slopes down to the lake, please keep in mind we don't have groomed lawns. During times of high precipitation, the lake level can rise, the canal can fill, the access to the bridge may have standing water in front of it and there may be a few areas on the driveway with short-term standing water. The driveway has recently been rebuilt, is in very good condition and has a solid base with no mud so a 2-wheel drive vehicle can easily drive through any short-term standing water on the driveway.

We keep Italian honeybees, domestic ducks and chickens and have various fruit and nut producing trees and shrubs including Meyer lemons, blueberries, mulberries and a very small vineyard as well as vegetable and herb gardens. Our domestic fowl are penned for their safety and located on the other side of the lake.

We enjoy sharing our seasonal bounty and fresh eggs, homemade snacks featuring homegrown or seasonal ingredients will frequently be awaiting your arrival in addition to the staples we keep stocked including premium hot beverages, granola bars, toaster pastries, oatmeal, popcorn etc.

A Slice of Heaven in Tallahassee
Our stay at Ann's VRBO was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with the warmest hospitality and a delightful homemade caramel apple cake that made my son's 21st birthday celebration extra special. Ann truly knows how to make her guests feel at home! The fridge was stocked with a dozen fresh mixed duck and chicken eggs, butter, mustard, ketchup, mayo, Tabasco sauce, maple syrup, and coffee creamer. There was even a filtered water container. The pantry was filled with an impressive variety of spices and a large three-level basket overflowing with snacks and candies. The house itself was immaculate and beautifully furnished. One of Ann's thoughtful house rules was to leave your shoes by the door, which helped maintain the pristine condition of the home. We were also charmed by Kitty, the resident cat, who loved to hang around the back door. Kitty had a daily visitor, a calico cat from next door, and it was amusing to watch them seemingly gossip about the neighborhood dogs, chickens, and ducks. We even gave them some cat treats! Our friends enjoyed exploring the large pond on the property, while we took advantage of the gas grill to cook up some delicious steaks and hotdogs. The beds were perfectly soft, ensuring a good night's sleep for everyone. One standout feature of Ann's house is how incredibly well-stocked it is. From toothpaste and laundry soap to hand lotion and more, if you forgot it at home

Recover for all things
We had an event in Tallahassee so we stayed clos by so we wouldn't have to commute from 2hrs away. This place was perfect for my family's needs. Close to where we needed to be but remote enough that after a stressful event we were able to physically and emotionally recover. Tranquil and refreshing.

Great Thanksgiving Get Away!
This house was perfect for my family of five! We were even able to use the kitchen to prepare food for the family Thanksgiving get together meal. My kids went canoeing and kayaking. The family was able to go fishing. And my youngest enjoyed feeding the kitty! This was a great getaway for a much-needed family vacation. Thank you!

Amazing nature stay!
Cute and cozy cabin nestled in the most serene setting imaginable! Beautiful pond views and great opportunities to view wildlife on the property and nearby trails, too. Ann's home was spotless and had every amenity we could possibly need (and then some)! She was responsive and check in/ check out instructions were easy and clear. What a great spot for a little R&R!
