This is a very comfortable home and more spacious than we expected. We stayed with our small dog. Parking was easy and it is located in walking distance to Cattle Dog Coffee Cafe (a favorite), parks and Withacoochee trail and other shops and restaurants. Checkin and checkout were easy. My friend was riding in a 100-mile bike race and this was the perfect location. We will definitely stay here again if in the area.

The location was great and the host was very communicative! However, the actual property left something to be desired. It was not extremely clean, the drain in the shower/bath would not drain properly, we had to keep blinds closed for the air to be full capacity and it just felt a little dingy. Some of the utensils, knives, etc. had rust. It was a mishmash of various towels, utensils, lates, etc. It was marketed to be cleaner and neater than it was when we arrived. I appreciated that we could have our pets - that was a bonus.

Even though I am always very accommodating to my guests these guests were a bit difficult. Had requested an early check-in before noon to get their dogs settled which was generously allowed. it was very hot In Florida unusual drought hot, and the AC was running ice cold as hard as it could. I could even see from the app on my phone that everything was working properly. I had recommended they keep the blinds closed just to keep cooler. We also have fans throughout. and going in and out with the dogs was letting in a lot of hot air, but it was nothing to do with the unit. I was glad to hear about the slow drain in the tub/shower because that was something I knew nothing about. We always try to do our best and I appreciate the feedback where I can make improvements.

Great spot for our quick weekend trip!

Loved this host and the cute house! It’s actually much more spacious than it appears in the photos. Theres lots of amenities there to make things like morning coffee and showering comfortable and easy. Jennifer was very welcoming and gracious. I don’t think I ever had to wait more than a couple minutes for her to respond. I can’t tell you how much less stressful she made our trip! Would absolutely stay here again.

Great location and excellent communication from our host Jennifer!This nicely equipped 3BR home was conveniently located just a few blocks from downtown's shops, restaurants, bars and even a local theatre and museum. Plus the hiking/biking trails are just a few minutes away as well. There is plenty to do outdoors in the Inverness area with boating and fishing readily available as well. The house was comfortable with good wifi and 3 smart TVS should you wish to chill at home. A big plus was our host Jennifer. Anytime we had a question she replied in just a few minutes. It's a great value if you're travelling with a family and don't want to spring for a hotel. It's also pet friendly if you're travelling with a furry family member. Overall, I'd recommend this place and would likely stay here again when I come back to Inverness.

very good communication

Our quick get away to visit my granddaughter and celebrate my husbands birthday was almost ruined by a leaking washer in our home. I reached out to the owner. She allowed us to adjust our stay dates. Her consistent communication with me was helpful as I was already stressed about our situation with our washer. The place is adorable. The house is centrally located to shoppes. The owner is professional and kind. :)

Comfort of an Inverness Historical Home

The entryway into the home was inviting and looked like the online picture. The bathroom and kitchen were clean and set up for easy access to all of the kitchen utensils and storage. The two bedrooms were prepared - one queen (or king) bed and one full bed. We loved the art work that reminded us of the countryside and beauty of this quaint community. A hot tub was available, very clean and hot. Nice for a relaxing afternoon. Jenifer responded to any questions or concerns. The back room was a hair salon that did not intrude on our home. Private entrance for the patrons and salon operator. We met a few neighbors who were friendly and enjoyable. One of the benefits was being able to walk into town (about 4 blocks) for shopping or going to fun restaurants. There were several events, bike paths, and walking paths for being outside on the warm wonderful days. We would definitely return to this home. Thank You.

I enjoyed having your family so much. You were wonderful guests and yes, I wish I could figure out a place to put a washer and dryer in this house… but I did find a coin laundry available within walking distance just the other day. it’s right down by the lake in that little park.
