Beautiful Country getaway

Really beautiful home and property. Very clean, well appointed. Wish we could have stayed longer. Our hosts were very gracious. Home feels in the country but is not far from town and restaurants. Loved seeing deer in the back yard. Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Stay!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. We came up for a football game weekend. Check in was very easy. House was very clean and there was plenty of room for every one to spread out. Beds were very comfortable. We saw deer both mornings we were there. It was a nice surprise to see the deer family grazing along the property. Kitchen had a ton of things for us to use (pans, utensils, cookie sheets, spices, etc). The only things to note were: the house is along a dirt road. Drive very slow as it is bumpy and rocky. Also, I noted that there was a grill, but I didn't read further, which explained that it was, in fact, a fire pit. We had bought burgers to grill out, but we ended up making them in the pan on the stove. Completely my fault that I didn't read completely, though. Owner was very responsive to my texts, which was appreciated. We will stay here again for football weekends. It's about 20-25 minutes from FSU campus, depending on traffic. 10 minutes from a Publix. The area it is in is so beautiful and peaceful. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!

About the host

Hosted by GERALYN RUSSELL

When I travelled for business, I had lots of stays in hotels. I much preferred my Bread and Breakfast experiences which motivated me to become a Host.

Once we retired, we decided to "downsize in place" and open our home to others so they can enjoy the beautiful setting and quiet neighborhood.

I am now a Super-host on Airbnb and have expanded to VRBO because I want to share our lovely 3000 sq foot home with families while they are visiting Tallahassee.

You will have your own private home, recently renovated.
There's a huge salt-water pool, with a large deck and seating area poolside. The yard is expansive too, ready for any family.

We are conveniently located 10 minutes from Costco and I-10. 20-25 minutes to the Capital/FAMU/FSU and hospitals.

We look forward to hosting you!

Why they chose this property

Iconic Old Dirt Road says it all. This place offers an opportunity to step back in time. The mid-century modern house was custom built in 1973 and featured in Tallahassee Magazine at the time.

In fact, each house in the neighborhood is unique, set-back from the road, and mostly on 3+ acres of land or more. It offers a lovely safe environment for everyone who lives here and visits.

What makes this property unique

The house sits in the middle of 15 acres of land, some of it wooded, so it's very private and quiet. You will hear birdsong throughout the day, and often see families of deer roaming through.
