My family really enjoyed staying at this property. It was fairly close to the springs and that was one of the main reasons we came to Florida. There was lots of room for all of us.

What a beautifully decorated and welcoming home. Best equipped and most comfortable B&B we’ve ever had the pleasure to rent. If we come to Itchetucknee springs again this is definitely where we will stay.

Excellent place to stay. We were in town for a wedding and it was close enough for grocery runs, restaurants, and a visit to the springs for swimming. Host was phenomenal and we had absolutely no complaints about the home or property. Would definitely stay here again if we needes to visit the area again.

Thank you for the great review. We are glad all of you have a great time. You are more than welcome anytime. Everyone took such great care of our home and we appreciate that. Thanks for the suggestion of the “ shower barrier dam”. Bill has installed one and it’s doing its job!

Great Springs Get away

What a gem of a house for a springs get away. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house is very nice and spacious. The hosts have thought of everything. Easy to find and close to the springs and several state parks. Check out The Farmstand restaurant and The Collective food trucks while you are there they are both great.

Stunning and just what you want for a place close to the springs

Absolutely loved staying here. This truly felt like my home away from homr. Everything was meticulously organized and it had everything that you'd think you need and some things you didn't know you needed. You can tell the owners really cared about this place, the experience, and whoeever stays in their home. We are definitely going back. Thanks again, hosts!

Family retreat

Got together with family around the holidays and had a great stay. Place was well stocked with whatever we'd need. Enjoyed yard games in the fenced in backyard while grilling out. Home was clean and beds comfortable. Place was close to where we needed. Highly recommend and would stay here again.
