Beautiful place

The property is beautiful inside and outside. We enjoyed our stay. We petted the goats, played on the Zipline, grilled out some burgers...lots of things to do. The beds and furniture was comfortable. Would definitely stay there again.

Great family experience

Loved the location and the old town feel. Our family had a really great time. The only real issue we had was with the water.

Please let us know what issues there were with the water. We have a water purification system for the whole house and also a Britta filter for drinking water. We definitely want to address any issues. We are on well water

We’re sorry to hear that the water was a concern during your stay. As the property is on well water, occasional discoloration can occur. We wish you had reached out to us while you were there, as we would have been happy to address the issue right away and work to resolve it for you. We always want our guests to feel comfortable and encourage them to contact us during their stay if anything isn’t as expected.

Our stay for family Thanksgiving was fabulous. Having comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen, perfect climate control and plenty of room in the house added much to our enjoyment. We did not use the outside area except to visit goats and pig. I would not hesitate to recommend this home to family and friends.

The property is gorgeous, complete with goats and pig! The rooms were wonderful. The check-in directions weren’t as clear as they could have been, but Vrbo contacted the owner, and we resolved the issue. There were a couple of minor things that required attention, but again, the owner was very responsive. I would highly recommend this property for families seeking a quiet, picturesque place to stay.

Beautiful property for large families

Outstanding property for our family. Well maintained and had plenty for the grandchildren to keep them busy. The house itself is rustic but very comfortable and had most of the things we needed. Close to the springs. Got to get used to the hard water but it’s not a huge deal. Great communications with property managers. Would definitely return

Mission Trip Getaway

We needed a place where we as a group could relax, enjoy each other’s company and have 3 meals prepared. This was the perfect place for us. Big porches to sit and relax after a long day of working. Place was well kept. Plenty of sleeping space and big bathrooms. We had a few people that liked to hike so they took advantage of the big yard and acreage. We had one small problem that was no fault of the host and it got fixed right away on a holiday weekend. If we do another trip to Old Town we will definitely book this place again.

We love the setting!

We love the Spanish moss hanging from the big oaks with the pond backdrop. The water birds provided quite the show while they fished. And the front porch was a perfect perch to take it all in. The farm animals added that rural touch. All in all experience was delightful with a cozy country home - the perfect setting.

Farm getaway

We had a great time getting away from it all on the farm. The property is beautiful and it has 2 ponds perfect for fishing with the kids. We also visited Manatee Springs, which is about 40 minutes away, but worth the drive.
