Brenda humored me and answered all my questions, the place was clean, huge, and had everything we needed to cook minus the actual food and seasonings. Host was soooo gracious, and the location is perfect if you need to truly escape.

Family gathering

We used to live in the area and and returned for a 60th wedding anniversary. The area is very scenic and loads of fun if you like water and good weather this place was perfect for us to stay as a family seemed a lot bigger than the square footage advertised.

Great getaway in the woods!

My family and 2 kids had a wonderful time at this home. We went tubing at the state parks and this property is close to multiple locations. It was great having privacy in the woods, but yet still being only 15 minutes away from town. The owner is incredibly nice and accommodating. Will definetly try to stay here again in the future!

Fantastic Stay!

Brenda was very kind and communicative. The home is out in the country, which we loved, and less than 20 minutes from the springs. It was super quiet, and the AC worked great, which in this FL heat, is an absolute necessity! We will definitely be back next time we're in the area. Thank you :)

Springs here we come

Near tons of springs. Not near a bunch of things but thats based on that its near small towns. My suggestion if driving in and able to stop at like a walmart to do so, but if something is forgotten dollar general markey is available. Loved the house and the hosts communication was the best!

Great location, beautiful property

Brenda was extremely accommodating. Everything I needed help with she was ready to respond and help within minutes. The property is beautiful. 20 acres of forest to explore and run around in. We saw deer and owls every night. It is a great location and is very close to the springs, about a 20 minute drive. Overall, wonderful place and I highly recommend.
