Silver Springs Visit

We traveled with toddlers and they had the best time swimming in the pool, running in the backyard, and playing in the game room. The house was set up perfectly for a family getaway. We have listed the house as on of our favorites and we hope to be back in the future. We highly recommend Henry’s Hideaway!

Our stay was perfect! Everything we needed/wanted was right there all in one. The kids had the best time swimming and using the game room. My husband and I enjoyed the screened in patio area to watch football. We dined as a family out on the patio as well. I fell in love with the comfort of the couch and master bed! Couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay for our family weekend get a way! Thank you for sharing your lovely comfy home!!

this was a wonderful place to stay, and I would definitely stay again. Henry’s Hideaway was clean had plenty, had plenty of room, and things to do. Our host was very responsive. We were in town for a funeral, unfortunately. There was a lot of running around to prepare for it and then of course the funeral itself, so unfortunately we didn’t get to stay at the home to enjoy it a lot. We will probably be coming back to work with settling the state, and visiting family., If so, I would definitely try to book it again.

About the host

Hosted by Mary George

Host profile image
Welcome to my Hideaway, my name is Henry and I am thrilled you’re here to visit. My mom and grandma have been visiting Florida for the past 30 years and have fallen in love with the warm sunshine and salty air. After keeping me in the Minnesota cold and snow all of these years, they’ve finally upgraded me to a place I can call home, Henry’s Hideaway. I love napping in the sun, chasing squirrels around the yard, and occasionally taking a dip in the pool (only on the super hot days!). This place is so amazing I wanted to share with all my other dog friends and their paw-rents. My mom and grandma are pretty special to me, so I wanted to introduce them as well. My grandma is a Registered Nurse with 30+ years of experience, a multifamily housing landlord, and enjoys spending time with her kids (and me!). My mom loves to take me on walks, is an avid Crossfitter, and loves to squeeze in a round of golf. We hope after a stay at Henry’s Hideaway you fall in love with Florida the same way we have.
