The Garden Cottage is a wonderful place to stay. Dan, our host was very welcoming and helpful during our stay. You walk in and immediately feel at home. It had everything you might need. It is modern, up to date and very well decorated. It was within walking distance to town and several shops and restaurants.

I’ve been to many properties and this has been, by far, one of the best. Not only was it clean, it was extremely comfortable. It had all the amenities I needed. It was close enough to Weeki so we checked the Mermaid show off my 87 year old Mom’s bucket list. The only downside was we only stayed for 3 nights. We would definitely recommend and if we return to the area, we will book again. Thank you for sharing your lovely cottage with us.

The cottage is clean, quiet. well furnished and very comfortable. We biked on the good neighbor trail which is about 1.5 miles away. Also walked to play Pickleball at a park about 3 blocks away. Nice bakery close as well. We will stay here again in the future. Highly recommend this VRBO. Excellent communication with Dan and Sue the hosts.

About the host

Hosted by Dan

Host profile image

Sue and Dan moved to Brooksville in The Fall of 1980 with the intent of going back to upstate New York in the spring. After 45 years, we are still here. We hope that you like Brooksville and the weather as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood where the Garden Cottage is located was developed in the early 1920's. Many of the original brick streets still remain. Before being developed, the area was citrus groves and pecan orchards. The large oak trees were most likely planted in the 1920's, which would make them over 100 years old.

What makes this property unique

The building that is across from the Garden Cottage on Bell Ave. was the former Hernando High school. It closed in 1968 and now belongs to the Baptist Church. The present Hernando High is down the hill on Bell Ave. to the North.
