Next to Cassadaga & downtown Deland. Nestled in a beautiful paved and gardened backyard space. My 640 sq/ft private cottage is behind my home in the small quiet town of Lake Helen, only a mile off of I-4\. The cottage is filled with all the amenities that will make you feel at home. The cottage has one queen bed and the sofa bed is perfect for children. Also a pack and play for little ones. The cottage is perfect for two but will suit 4. The cottage is located in my back yard behind my home, surrounded by a 7' vinyl privacy fence. There is a large screened-in porch on the front of the cottage, with an overhead fan. Guests have access to the entire back yard, gardens, and water feature. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Porch/lanai ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Unit size: 640 square feet ## Similar properties ![Front of property](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/86000000/85920000/85916400/85916304/44776a28.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Alling House Orange City - Parking included - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 9.0 Wonderful 36 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-19&endDate=2025-12-20&selected=85916304&PinnedHotelID=85916304&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117470000/117462300/117462207/2561ae33.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Birds & Buns Bungalow De Leon Springs - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 9.6 Exceptional 5 reviews CA $126 CA $201 total includes taxes & fees Dec 7 - Dec 8 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-07&endDate=2025-12-08&selected=117462207&PinnedHotelID=117462207&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110800000/110795600/110795550/ed28fcae.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A Tranquil Hideaway in a peaceful, quiet Deltona neighborhood Deltona - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.6 Exceptional 10 reviews CA $109 CA $198 total includes taxes & fees Dec 10 - Dec 11 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-10&endDate=2025-12-11&selected=110795550&PinnedHotelID=110795550&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107730000/107727200/107727111/f7d36973.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming 1925 House in the Heart of DeLand.
