True vintage cottage surrounded by Live Oaks dripping in Spanish Moss. Perfect for a visit to to Micanopy! Great location on a quiet country lane a few miles south of town. We especially enjoyed the setting and the outdoor spaces. The hosts were great. We booked very last minute and enjoyed excellent communication. Plumbing is antiquated, but acceptable given the vintage of the property. Would happily rent again.
Country lane shared with a few other cottages and a picturesque little cemetery.
Great porch for dining and lounging.
Plenty of parking space.

Not enough can be said about our stay at this place. It had everything we need for a 3 day mini vacation. It is near many restaurants groceries, and movie theaters. Plus many of the springs and parks are within under a 30 minute drive.

House was clean but had a dog smell. Not sure if it was in the furniture or the wood floor. Had a little salamander? In the back room by the laundry. Furnishings and kitchen items were all adequate.

We enjoyed our stay at the Palmerto Cottage. It was a cozy little cabin. It was clean and had everything we needed. The only trouble we had was getting the Televisions to work in both bedrooms. There was a large selection of DVDs to choose from, It would also have been nice to have a throw blanket on the sofa. We would stay there again if we were to return to Micanopy.

This private bungalow is cozy yet spacious, and conveniently located between Ocala and Gainesville--with everything you need for a quick getaway or quiet retreat. Owners were responsive and welcoming. Super friendly locals. Be aware that some of the surrounding shops and restaurants tend to be closed early in the week (eg Mon-Wed), limiting your options.

Tucked away south of Micanopy

We stayed in the cottage while attending a UF graduation. It was a pleasure staying away from the congestion of G'ville. Instead, we enjoyed a beautiful drive via 441 right into town, about 15 minutes away. The mattresses were pretty soft - a 2 night max for me, thus the 4 stars. But the cottage was comfortable, we loved sitting on the front porch, enjoying the breeze & the scent of jasmine. The location didn't lend itself to taking walks, but there are nearby options for that.
