Book now! I have a multigenerational family and this house was great. Kitchen was well stocked. Beds were comfy. Living room had ample space for lounging. Cool a/c - a plus in hot Florida. Not only great value for your money but great for your peace of mind as well.

The house is very well set up and comfortable. The location was walking distance (or biking) from the bike path, which was why we chose this house. Plenty of room for the family and our fur baby! Would definitely stay again!

The house was great. It had everything you need. The back yard was fenced for my dog but could use some sprucing up. It has a lot of potential. We would stay there again. The access to the bike trail was awesome. We went over to Crystal River and saw the manatees.

First experience renting a house instead of a hotel room. We loved it. Plenty of room and Emily,the host, has thought of everything. The house is well stocked with big to little essentials . I also loved having a washer and a dryer , it was such a bonus. No dirty clothes to bring home. We had no small children with us but the yard even had a little playhouse. The street was quiet which was also a plus. I would highly recommend

This is an excellent location for riding the Withlacoochee State Bike Trail, and enjoying the cute town of Inverness, which was the purpose of our visit. Emily was very welcoming and responsive. The property is not posh, but comfortable. It is mostly like the photos, however the exterior is rough, with weeds growing in the lawn and flower beds, and some maintenance/repairs needed (rust on garage door; eves bent; rotted portions/gaps at base of front door frame.) Note: the single-car garage seen in the photos has been converted into an extra bedroom. The refrigerator ice machine and water dispenser do not work, but Zephyrhills spring water, as well as ice trays, are provided.
