Absolutely beautiful home and property. Very clean and well maintained. Has a great fire pit in the backyard and chairs to use by it, we didn’t get to using it due to a busy schedule, but it’s such a wonderful setup. Bedrooms, living room, and everything were very cozy and comfortable. The home is decorated very nicely and has all of the kitchen items you need (plates, mugs, coffee maker, etc.) I couldn’t ask for anything different, in fact, the whole stay was amazing. Such a relaxing getaway in nature! Also, super close to Silver Glen Springs, a must-do if in the area to snorkel and see fish and manatees! Thank you for this lovely stay. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a serene place to stay in the area.
Great location for exploring local springs and trails (Silver Glen Springs)
