The Funky Swan Shack by Lake Morton & Downtown

Enjoy every pop of color in our Vintage Florida Cottage located in the Lake Morton Historic District and just a short walk to Lake Morton, Lake Hollingsworth, and Florida Southern College.

This home is just one mile from Downtown Lakeland, Dixieland Historic District, and all of Lakeland’s top restaurants and bars; and is in an absolutely perfect location for exploring all of Lakeland, Tampa, Orlando, Disney World, and Florida beaches.

This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom cottage was curated with vintage furnishings from local vendors that gives the most eclectic Florida vibe and feels like you stepped right into a Pinterest board.

The kitchen has been remodeled with a stainless steel fridge, a convection microwave oven for baking, and a stovetop. The kitchen also includes a coffee maker, dishware, silverware, cooking utensils, paper towels, trash bags, and cleaning products.

The living room and dining area are great spots to entertain. Sign in to your Hulu, Netflix, or HBO Max on our Roku TV, or play the plethora of games we provide in the Florida room.

Relax and enjoy the outdoors on the two wooden decks in the backyard.

The home also provides access to free WiFi, a stackable washer and dryer, iron, central A/C and heat, linens/towels, laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, and complimentary toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.

Our guests are welcome to enjoy the entire cottage and backyard. There are two parking spots available in the driveway and two available from the back alley entrance that you can access behind the house.

A fabulous home
We have stayed at quite a few locations in Lakeland with our daughter going to FSC. I wish we would have found this one sooner! It is clean, comfortable, tastefully decorated and close to campus. The host is super responsive and friendly. We didn’t have any issues whatsoever. The kitchen is small but functional, the dining table was great for our group to play games. All in all a top notch home. We will be back. Thank you.

The Funky Swan Shack is incredible!!! It is so cute and well decorated. They go above and beyond with things you may need---coffee, towels, garbage bags, detergent, etc. you made need. You feel welcome the second you walk in the door. The house has a great backyard and is in a super safe neighborhood. We walked all over the place including restaurants in town. We were there visiting my daughter at Florida Southern and it was an easy walk from her dorm. It is PERFECT. We will be staying there again for sure. Also, the hosts communicated well and were available to help with anything. We didn't need them but it was nice to know they were available.

Beautiful location
My family and I stayed three nights at this lovely home so we could attend our daughter's graduation from FSC. We loved everything about this home, from the location to the beautiful trees surrounding the home, and to the great customer service from our host Austin. There is ample parking in the front and rear of the home for about four cars if needed. We would definitely stay here again when visiting historic downtown Lakeland.

Great neighborhood & comfortable house
We enjoyed being able to walk to Lake Morton, a nearby coffee shop and library, the fish stand, and being in a family friendly neighborhood. The house was comfortable for everyone.

It is a lovely cottage. We are 3 upper 70 ish ladies and it was great overall. Loved the lake and the birds! Only negative is the living room furniture. Cute but highly uncomfortable to spend an evening. ! Thanks

Can only complain about one bed
It was really a lovely, clean, convenient place for us to stay. My one complaint is the bed in the "master" suite. It is impossibly soft, uncomfortable, squeaky and desperately sags in the middle. Replace that bed and you've got 5 stars, hands down.

Highly themed cozy cottage in heart of lakeland
We love staying at this property! It was highly themed, which made it very fun and inviting and feel like home. It was more roomy than we thought, and gave us easy access to all of Lakeland, Orlando, and Tampa!
