About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Hidden Gem in historic Lake Helen. 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.

Cute Cottage
I enjoyed the peaceful vibe that the gardening area had. I enjoyed sitting outside at night on the patio. I felt safe the whole time. It was very accommodating.

Felt super safe, extremely clean, and comfortable as well as welcoming
I arrived to my VRBO at 10 pm. Felt very safe being by myself. A spot for guest parking. Quiet and cozy screened patio. The cottage itself is crazy clean, cutely decorated, comfortable. Plenty of clean towels shampoo, conditioner, and soap. A stocked kureg in the kitchen ready to brew your morning coffee. A very quiet comfortable space. Will probably stay again if coming to Deland.

The Hidden Gem is just as advertised
Jannell andbthe Hidden Gem at Lake Helen were both amazing. First off Lake Helen is About ad beautiful as it gets. The cottage was cute and she makes it feel like home with all the extra blankets and towells and dishes and anything and everything you need. We stayed a weekend and on Saturday we went to see the Manitees at Blue Springs down the road what an awesome experience. On Sunday we ran into a little market in the park at Lake Helen and there was so many nice people selling cool things. It was the perfect retreat. I will definatly refer family and friends to Jannell at the Hidden Gem. Thank you so much.

Lovely Weekend Stay
The Hidden Gem Cottage was perfect for my weekend stay while attending Stetson Homecoming events in Deland. The size and setup of the cottage worked perfectly for just me but would also be comfortable for a couple or small family.
