Anastasia was very helpful in the communication process and offered some good ideas of things to do in the area. My wife and I enjoyed the house and just sitting on the back porch drinking coffee watching the wildlife.

The house needs a little sprucing up but it's very private and quiet and a good jump-off point to all the recreation areas nearby. The hosts answered every question quickly and accurately. Lots of dishes, cups and glasses. Comfortable bed and lots of pillows. Good workspace in kitchen. Suggest that a small chest of drawers be added to the bedrooms so guests don't have to live out of the suitcase. Also a few medium size pots for cooking would help. There was a very big one and a small one. If we are back in the area we will definitely book here again.

Absolutely beautiful home and property. Very clean and well maintained. Has a great fire pit in the backyard and chairs to use by it, we didn’t get to using it due to a busy schedule, but it’s such a wonderful setup. Bedrooms, living room, and everything were very cozy and comfortable. The home is decorated very nicely and has all of the kitchen items you need (plates, mugs, coffee maker, etc.) I couldn’t ask for anything different, in fact, the whole stay was amazing. Such a relaxing getaway in nature! Also, super close to Silver Glen Springs, a must-do if in the area to snorkel and see fish and manatees! Thank you for this lovely stay. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a serene place to stay in the area.
Great location for exploring local springs and trails (Silver Glen Springs)

The house was clean, comfortable and had all the needed amenities. We were very disappointed in the outdoor property as it was described as quiet and secluded in many reviews. There was construction on one side, barking dog on the other and it no longer backs up to trees as in the pictures but now you’re looking at tractor trailers and abandoned boats. We did enjoy the fire pit in the evening but it wasn’t quiet as the neighbors played loud music. The property owners made sure everything was excellent inside and they can’t control the neighbors, but it definitely needs to be noted for those looking for quiet/remote location.

Loved this place

We had a great time staying here . Its located in the middle of the national forest so theres not much around. Very rural and quiet. Theres a few different springs in the area that are absolutely beautiful. We got to see deer,turkey and even a bear. The host were amazing. We had great communication with them and they were very nice

Refreshing

My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate his birthday and get away from the city. Let me tell you this property is amazing. It’s quiet and tucked in the Ocala national forest. At night the sky is stunning and the only thing you can hear is nature. The hosts were incredibly kind and I can’t express enough how easy check in and communications were. They answered my questions quickly and had everything you would need available. They were sweet enough to give us recommendations on things to do in the area and even helped us find places that were dog friendly! I cannot recommend this place and Anastasia and Will enough. Especially if you want to get away from the city. Thank y'all again for hosting us! We had a blast!

Great place to stay very comfy beds and plenty of space!

We really enjoyed staying here. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of space. Anastasia was a wonderful hostess and got back to me immmediately with all our questions. One word of advice - understand when you are going to this area there is not a Publix within miles. This is a quaint little town with a country market. So if you are from the city like us don't be surprised!! It is close to so many beautiful springs and horseback riding it is a must book!!

Casual property with all the necessary amenities. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching the birds in the morning with our coffee. Enjoyed a canoe paddle in Salt Springs and a short hike down the yearling trail (went at the wrong time of day so was too hot).
