A great place to relax and truly is a Peaceful Haven. The place was as described and pictured. Pet Friendly forsure, we joked that we rented a house for our dogs and got to stay there too. Lisa is a great host, responsive, and it's extra special that shes an animal rescuer with proceeds going to rescue. She's got cattle, horses, and donkeys. Plus we got the chance to see some local wildlife (Florida Fox Squirrels, Cranes, Cattle Egrets, and owl that visited every morning).

This was a great family friendly place and plenty of room for our two large dogs. The yard was a nice size, fenced, and well manicured. There were several puzzles available and a nice sized table with plenty of room to layout the pieces. The hosts were prompt in responding to messages, and made us feel welcome.
A nice way to relax, completing a puzzle.

Beautifully maintained home and property. It is obvious they have been updating fixtures and the bathroom.Very roomy and lots of counter space.The fenced in area surrounding the house is sturdy looks new.Our dog made friends with the cattle in the pastures- they visited with her daily. So quiet you could hear the insects and birds! Several nights I just stood and looked at the constellations.I recommend this property to anyone who enjoys nature.
