This home was the perfect get-away for me and my friends! It comfortably housed all of us- it’s a lot bigger inside than how it looks from the outside. The neighborhood is quiet and tucked away, which makes it a peaceful, nature-surrounded retreat. Alexander Springs is a hop and a skip away, making it the perfect place to stay if you’re looking to spend a lot of time over there.Our host was very kind and communicative! We’re looking forward to staying again one day.

Off the grid

I stayed in this tiny home for two nights. It was clean and about 10 minutes from Alexander Springs and 20 minutes from Juniper springs. The wifi is sketchy so a back up plan is needed.

Hi there, I’m sorry that the Wi-Fi was giving you problems so you were there. It is in the middle of the woods , but most of the time it works great. We can’t wait to see you back next year.😊

Unfortunately, this is a false review. This guest was trying to get a refund almost immediately, the cleaning company came out, and house was spotless. I would not recommend this guest. I had to get VRBO involved.
