True vintage cottage surrounded by Live Oaks dripping in Spanish Moss. Perfect for a visit to to Micanopy! Great location on a quiet country lane a few miles south of town. We especially enjoyed the setting and the outdoor spaces. The hosts were great. We booked very last minute and enjoyed excellent communication. Plumbing is antiquated, but acceptable given the vintage of the property. Would happily rent again.
Country lane shared with a few other cottages and a picturesque little cemetery.
Great porch for dining and lounging.
Plenty of parking space.

This is a lovely cottage in "Old Florida". It sits amongst old oak trees and palmettos laden with moss, just beautiful. The cottage is very clean and comfortable and the hosts were wonderful. It was a wonderful stay.

This private bungalow is cozy yet spacious, and conveniently located between Ocala and Gainesville--with everything you need for a quick getaway or quiet retreat. Owners were responsive and welcoming. Super friendly locals. Be aware that some of the surrounding shops and restaurants tend to be closed early in the week (eg Mon-Wed), limiting your options.
