Room was clean and spacious. Not much to do at the house but many nearby attractions. Friendly staff member and a typical continental breakfast. Quiet location to rest for the night.
Very nice B & B in Lake Helen. It could not have been more peaceful. The Island room was clean and comfortable.The breakfast was fine, but not elaborate. Hugo the host, was very pleasant and had a lot of info about the area. A great place to get away if visiting the areas springs or the mystic village of Cassadaga.
This was such a fantastic stay - exceptionally clean and very welcoming. Would definitely stay again.

Our stay at Cabin on the Lake was a delightful experience, defined by its genuine antique charm and the truly accommodating nature of the host. The property offers a special feel with its unique patina, lending it great character and potential. We enjoyed a warm, clean, and private retreat in our room, complete with a very nice bathroom and a cute view across the road toward the lake. The location is excellent, placing us close to many different places, and we appreciated the strong, reliable Wi-Fi and the cozy downstairs dining area. Finally, the continental-style breakfast, served in a quaint atmosphere, was perfect, with everything fresh and tasting good. We highly recommend this spot for anyone seeking a charming getaway with a gracious host.
Absolutely loved our stay at this cozy cabin by the lake! The peaceful surroundings, beautiful views, and warm hospitality made it the perfect getaway. The host was incredibly welcoming, and the breakfast each morning was a lovely touch. A hidden gem in Florida — we’ll definitely be back!
The location was very scenic, the bed-and-breakfast was very clean and welcoming. The owners were very friendly and shared ideas of what to do and where to go.
There is a beautiful view of trees with Spanish moss and a lake across the street in the background. The owners were friendly and helpful. Everything was clean and welcoming.
Hugo was a wonderful host. He suggested various places to visit. He made great pancakes. It was fun watching him feed the ducks. Our room was clean and had everything we needed. The house was quiet and peaceful. It's worth a return trip.
The house is beautiful and very artistically decorated. Olga and her husband went out of their way to make us comfortable. She also made us delicious pancakes both mornings we were there.
Olga was so nice and made sure we had what we needed! The place is so cute and exactly as described on line! The bed was comfortable and I woke up relaxed and wanting to extend my stay! ❤️❤️❤️
The couple running the cabin are absolutely amazing people, they are patient, professional, and have showed us nothing but the best hospitality service I’ve ever had,.
I would never stay at another establishment in this area.
HANDS DOWN..5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Older, but very cute and well appointed BNB with a beautiful view of Lake Helen, and a great screened in porch for hanging out. Interior and exterior were immaculate and everything was in working condition. The owners were readily available and very pleasant. Breakfast was a simple, but very adequate continental style with waffles and eggs made to order.
We would definitely return back to this BNB without hesitation.
In all, we rented 3 of the 4 rooms available and everyone in our party was pleased with the choice.
We really enjoyed our experience staying at the Cabin on the Lake. It was cozy, welcoming, and truly a special place. We loved the lake and grounds. Everything was very clean, and breakfast was delicious. The hosts were super helpful and communicative. She had great recommendations for where to go and eat. We enjoyed downtown DeLand which was having a cute community event the night we went. It was just what we needed for a night away together as a couple. Thank you! We will be back!
We had a wonderful stay! The property is beautiful, nestled in a quiet neighborhood with a beautiful lake across from the entrance. The property is beautiful and full of southern charm. The room we stayed in was the Captain’s Room which is nautical themed and featured a jacuzzi tub (I unfortunately didn’t get to test out the jacuzzi function though). It was adorably decorated and very cozy. Breakfast service in the morning takes place in the common area of the office. Everything was delicious and fresh and we got to take treats for the road too. You can’t eat in the room but there’s a cute space to dine in the screened in porch, which was a super fun experience to have dinner with my husband at night! There’s also a property cat. He is sweet as can be. I recommend head pats. 10/10 experience.
