Cabin stay
Took a little getaway for the weekend and it was beautiful nice an quiet went out to rainbow springs an did the tubing.very nice location we will be coming back
My husband and I had a wonderful time staying here! The cabin was very clean and cozy and we loved the outside space! We brought a small boat and were able to put it right in the water. The location was also conveniently located to launch on Rainbow a river as well. We couldn’t be more pleased and will likely stay here again!
This is a rustic cabin which suited our needs. The master bedroom was comfortable. The screened porch was a superior spot to rest

Little Red Cabin
We stayed a couple nights and our stay was great! It was clean and the extras were nice to see! I loved the light on the porch and the bug light! I would come here again as it was convenient for our purposes!
Our Family enjoyed their stay at the Red Cabin. Very nice, large, private and secluded property where the kids could play and explore the natural surroundings. Well equipped kitchen and facilities. Wonderful screened back porch, and a great place to hang out with family. Thank you!
Great getaway and perfect for 3 of us. Beautiful outdoor space and screened porch was so comfortable. Dart board was tons of fun. 40 minutes from Blue Grotto and 15-20 to KPHole and Rainbow Springs. So nice to come back and relax in a house.
Mostly good. Enjoyed the cabin feel, except in main bedroom, thought I might go through the floor. Lots of spices available. Would have enjoyed an outdoor grill.
The property was as listed, with a central location to all of the springs we were interested in checking out. The property was clean and quiet with a nice yard for our daughter to run around in. She loved the swing and rope swing in the backyard to play on! We will be back!

Kayaking Getaway
Unhandy Andy got loose on some renovations and didn't do them well.The property was located too close to the road, which was very busy, making sleeping difficult. The residential area was very poor. The kayaking we were able to do was great

The red house was comfortable, we had everything we needed. We did not get our confirmation email before the day we were to arrive. After calling the company, the access code and information was quickly given and the problem was resolved.
