About this property

Sandie's Country Hideaway is a Bed & Bath close to many FL entertainments.

Whether you're here on business or traveling with or without a partner on vacation, I want to give you a restful place to stay while you explore my beautiful hometown. Please check out all our regional entertainments, such as historic Cedar Key, Manatee Springs, Fanning Springs and Hart Springs (and many more within driving distance), and support our amazing area restaurants, shops, and vendors. We have an large Flea Market right in the middle of town with vendors like you have never seen before.

Your private living area includes a private entrance with your own set of keys to come and go as you please, a bedroom with Queen bed and blackout curtains on the windows, plenty of room to store your clothes while you are here, a separate room (with mini fridge, microwave & coffee pot [with all the fixings]) that can be used as a sitting room/den/study, full bathroom with walk in shower, living room and dining room. All in a quiet country setting. Mature couples or people -- non-smokers -- who are looking for a quiet place to stay while they work or visit the many surrounding attractions, including the many different restaurants available to cater to any taste.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The unit smelled like wet dog throughout. It is 3-4 mi out of town down a dirt road. It is the front part of Sandie's house, which appears slightly run down. It is spacious and the bed was comfortable. There was a mini-fridge, small microwave and coffee pot but no cups and no hairdryer. It was an alternative to the 2 motels in Chiefland, which apparently are not rated very highly. We were in the area to visit friends in an RV park in town.

Highly recommend this property. Its in the country but only about 6 miles out of cheifland and about 50 minutes to Gainesville. The host is a very nice person. She recommended restaurants and gave us some shortcuts for our drive home. Looking forward to visiting again.

About the host

Hosted by Sandie King

Host profile image
I am a country girl who has loved and raised a very ancient breed of Turkish dog since 1987. The dog in the above photo was one of my favorites. Anatolians are my passion and I always have at least one with me at all times. I worked at the Vet Med Teaching Hospital in Gainesville for 21 years, after having worked for the Florida State Legislature for 10 years before that. I have several relatives that all live close by, while still giving us plenty of privacy. My extended family has been in Chiefland for generations and we all look out for each other. It's the thing I love most about being a country girl with a large family.

Why they chose this property

When my mom passed away after me taking care of her for 8 years, I needed something to keep me busy, so I decided it would be wonderful to have a nice place for people to come and rest after tiring themselves out at whatever local entertainments they chose to spend their time. So, come visit my little corner of heaven and see some amazing sunsets and sunrises .... or, enjoy the very comfortable bed available and sleep as late as you want. It's all up to you!!! I'll keep the light on for you! LOL!!

What makes this property unique

My country home is especially good for those who just want a really quiet place to stay to get away from all the city noises. You can recharge and go back home ready for a new spark in your steps.
