Beautiful farmhouse! They go way above and beyond to help you. Specifically, they helped us deal with my head-on collision, automobile accident caused by the other driver. You couldn't find a nicer more caring hostess and host.
We loved our stay at the Farmhouse… only wish we could have spent more time just chilling there! We would definitely stay again! Thank you for the great attention to details… just so inviting! Kimberly was a perfect host and the communications were so timely. Thank you for opening up your home… we appreciated it!
Host was excellent! Very responsive to questions. House is large, laid out beautifully. I use a rollator and it was so easy to navigate around. Beds were terrific. Kitchen is very well stocked!
This “home” has been consistently well furnished and peaceful. Kimberly is an excellent host and the furnishings are comfortable and unique in decor. Highly recommend “The Farm” for your stay.
This place goes above and beyond what you might expect, very friendly hosts. You had everything you could possibly need to stay there. My only regret is we had to leave.
We stayed two nights for a family wedding. Everything was perfect, and the home is in a gorgeous, quiet setting, while still close to restaurants and stores. We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay again if we were in the area.
We came to town for a family memorial and really enjoyed the house and peace and quite it offered. We had a range of adults and kids/babies in the house comfortably. Would definitely recommend this beautiful home.
We were looking for a good place to stay for a reasonable price, in order to attend our daughter’s graduation from UF. We loved the atmosphere, decor and the adorable cows! My teen and adult kids loved making s’mores by the fire pit. We hope to stay again! The kitchen was fantastically equipped and everything was so comfortable and clean.
Very clean beautiful house in a great location close to all the lakes and a master bedroom you will not want too leave had a great time here will definitely go back

About the host
Hosted by Kimberly Miller
I am a former 6th grade science teacher, who resigned to care for loved ones. I love the opportunity to meet new people and make your stay wonderful. I love the life in the country come be my neighbor and sit a spell.
Why they chose this property
This home was owned by a lovely couple for 29 years who decided to down size several years ago. After being loved by various owners we purchased this house to rent to you in hopes that you will enjoy our slice of country life as much as we do. We live right down the road and have our entire life. I think this is one of the best places on earth to see God's handiwork at its best.
What makes this property unique
This home has beautiful functional barn doors gracing it's walls. Reclaimed fence boards that are almost silver, bring the rustic barn look inside. The beautiful bathrooms with wood look ceramic tile shower surround and rain head shower take relaxing to a whole new level. My favorite room however, is the chicken room which overlooks 40 acres of pasture land sprinkled with brahman cows this room is like stepping into Grandma's house. Custom made soaps made especially for the us along with local jam made just down the road make staying with us a little extra special
