Great place to stay!!

Drove in to see some Florida springs for the weekend and was so happy to stay here. Very relaxing and quiet. Surrounded by beautiful trees and not too far from the parks and springs. Also has a great porch to sit and chill.

The house itself and location was perfect! We enjoyed the stay overall, however the early morning construction at the lot next door and the concrete company next to the property was rather loud every morning at 4 am…made it a bit difficult to get a good nights sleep. Other than that everything was great!

It was a nice little house and had what we needed. The kitchen was stocked with the basics, everything was clean and nice. The house feels very private. There are 2 RVs on the property as well, but we did not see or hear anything from them. The balcony was perfect for evening cocktails and morning coffee! Checking in was simple.

It was a hidden gem!

The house was equipped with more than we could have needed for our stay. The beds were very comfortable and the sheets super soft! I was even surprised to see shampoo and conditioner in the shower. The house is off the beaten path but also not far from everything we needed like groceries and pharmacy. You will hear sounds from the surrounding businesses but that did not bother us at all.

Lovely retreat, pack earplugs

Lovely older home in a nice quiet area. Unfortunately there is a concrete type of company that is very close. Each morning with the exception of Sunday we were awakened to low persistent beeping and trucks moving. It was still dark out but I think it was around 5Am. Even though we were a bit sleep deprived we enjoyed our stay. Sitting on the porch in a rainstorm was lovely. Watching the kitties play in the empty field next to the home was fun. While this might be everyones thing..My daughter loved watching the big banana spider? outside her window. It's a really beautiful spider :) Especially since it was outside ;) We also saw some bugs while walking around that we'd never seen before. This is the perfect place to enjoy nature!
I wish I could add the sounds to this picture!
Ellie liked watching the kitties too :P
