My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hideaway Cottage! From the moment we walked in I could see the care and thought that Laura and Mike put into their cottage. The kitchen had everything we needed (plus more!), there were extra pillows and blankets, toiletries, plenty of room to hang clothes, and a very well put together binder of local info. There was even a pan of blueberry muffins! The walls are adorned with Laura’s lovely photographs of the area. We really enjoyed chatting and laughing with Laura and Mike when we arrived. They are lovely people and made us feel very much at home. Their yard is pretty magical, too. I got to meet Pierre the Hare, a turtle, and a bunch of deer that all looked very at home in the yard. The boardwalk through the trees to their dock is really neat, too. Sitting on the dock, watching day turn to night was very relaxing. I would absolutely stay at the Hideaway Cottage again.

We had a great few days in the hide away cottage! It had everything we needed & very clean! We enjoyed visiting the springs near by! Thank you Mike for making us feel very welcomed when we arrived! ##### Melissa W. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jorge Y.

We enjoyed just relaxing as we watched the deer and turkeys come eat the corn we put out for them. We kayaked the Santa Fe river from behind the home to the mouth of the ichetucknee river and swam in the crystal clear spring waters. The cottage is located where you can easily access either the Santa Fe, Ichetucknee, or Suwannee rivers. We will definitely be returning. ##### Jorge Y.

The owners were beyond fabulous, friendly, gave great suggestions on where to eat or go and enjoy the springs. I just hope I get the chance to return soon. ##### Shelia R.
