About the host
Hosted by Peter Lanoue
I'm a retired Army Master Sergeant who spent 23 years serving my country before creating peaceful places where people can slow down and reconnect. My family and I have worked hard to transform these properties into comfortable retreats where guests can relax after a day of exploring.
I enjoy woodworking, spending time outdoors, and continually improving each property. Hosting has become something I genuinely enjoy because every guest has a story, and I'm grateful to provide a place where families, couples, and adventurers can create lasting memories.
My goal is simple: offer a clean, comfortable, and welcoming stay that feels like a home away from home.
Why they chose this property
I fell in love with this area because of its peaceful countryside, friendly community, and easy access to some of Florida's most beautiful natural springs. It's the perfect balance of quiet relaxation and outdoor adventure.
Whether you're kayaking at Ginnie Springs, swimming at Poe or Blue Springs, hiking nearby trails, or simply enjoying the evening sounds of nature from the porch, this part of North Florida has a way of helping you slow down and recharge. It's a place we're proud to share with our guests.
What makes this property unique
Springs Ranch offers the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and outdoor adventure. Set on five peaceful acres, the home features a spacious covered pavilion, large deck with outdoor seating, a fully equipped kitchen, soaking tub, fireplace, and thoughtfully designed spaces for families and groups. After a day at Ginnie, Poe, or Blue Springs, relax under the string lights, gather around the fire table, watch deer pass through the property, or simply enjoy the quiet countryside.
A quiet, long-term RV guest has a private space elsewhere on the property, but you'll have your own home, outdoor living areas, and plenty of room to relax in peace.
