Field of Dreams

Tucked away in what feels like the middle of nowhere, the property is a perfect place to unwind and reconnect with family and friends. Location was perfect for accessing local springs and host was great about letting us know in advance that some areas were closed due to heavy rainfall. The rain prevented us from using the fire pit, but the covered area in the back and the porch were great places to enjoy the outside while staying dry. The house worked great for a group of 8 but the A/C didn't always keep up with all the people in the house. There was a minor was leak in the refrigerator and the coffee pot needs to be replaced but these were minor inconveniences in an otherwise delightful stay. If we ever decide to return to the area, I would happily book the property again.

Needs an a/c update

It is a wonderful property but the only issue I constantly had was the a/c not working properly. The arrival present was the a/c broken; it was fixed later but the house never got cold in any time of day. Everyday when we returned from our excursions the house was at 80F +. The little units helped a little but be mindful that you will sleep with fans to ease the warm in the house. The owner was in every moment communicating with us but it's an issue definitely that the a/c they have is not enough for so big house. The property in general is more than well equipped for all your needs.

A claw foot tub, games, family room! This home is also located across the street to a natural spring! One mile down the road is another spring and a few more within 45 min! This place is seriously heaven,

Family Reunion 2022

This was a perfect house for our family reunion and the property is absolutely gorgeous! As soon as I saw this house, it immediately reminded me of my mom, who’s been in Heaven for the past 4 years. Upon booking, I found out the owner, Cheryl, was one of my mom’s really good friends. That was the icing on the cake!! The memories we made as a family are something we will all cherish for the rest of our lives. Everything was perfect and we will definitely be making this a yearly trip now. Thank you for everything, Cheryl! ❤️

I’m Florida grown , a mother of four and a follower of Jesus . Raised with southern hospitality. I love being Born and raised here North Florida . Growing up in spring Diving capital of the world is definitely a blessing from God. I consider myself a country girl at heart . I have compassion for broken children, the elderly and single parents . My most favorite part of this life is being a mommy! This opportunity to rent our home is a dream I’ve had for many years finally becoming a reality .

Why they chose this property

The house has been on this property for almost 12 years now and the land was originally my grandfathers who was a farmer that raise 10 children. My father inherited this property . The land was used for farming peanuts ,watermelon , corn and many other vegetables . The springs that is directly across the road is called Ruth Springs but for many years the locals called it little sulfur. There are hundreds of acres of water management to hike and explore. If you bring a metal detector you may find some treasure since there was once a village in these woods And the town of Troy close by at one time in history. Troy Springs is a 1 mile drive away , A Portion of it is 75 feet deep and it’s loaded with history. Many cave divers travel from all over to this spring . If you love nature in history this home is definitely where you want to stay.
