We found this gem tucked inside a beautiful setting of woods, and tucked just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Amenities are still within short driving distance for groceries, and restaurants.Very spacious, clean, and the Host/Brenda was responsive for questions/needs. You cannot find better pricing in surrounding area. Thank you Brenda, for supporting our Veterans!

Great getaway in the woods!

My family and 2 kids had a wonderful time at this home. We went tubing at the state parks and this property is close to multiple locations. It was great having privacy in the woods, but yet still being only 15 minutes away from town. The owner is incredibly nice and accommodating. Will definetly try to stay here again in the future!

Fantastic Stay!

Brenda was very kind and communicative. The home is out in the country, which we loved, and less than 20 minutes from the springs. It was super quiet, and the AC worked great, which in this FL heat, is an absolute necessity! We will definitely be back next time we're in the area. Thank you :)

Springs here we come

Near tons of springs. Not near a bunch of things but thats based on that its near small towns. My suggestion if driving in and able to stop at like a walmart to do so, but if something is forgotten dollar general markey is available. Loved the house and the hosts communication was the best!
