Peaceful

Casual property with all the necessary amenities. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching the birds in the morning with our coffee. Enjoyed a canoe paddle in Salt Springs and a short hike down the yearling trail (went at the wrong time of day so was too hot).

Hidden Gem

I cannot say enough good things about this place or the host. The location was perfect, and the host went out of her way to help give me information on the things I wanted to do in the area. We stayed so busy between the beautiful springs and the trails that we did not even get to use the fire pit! Definitely ready to plan a return trip!

Forest Retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our short getaways usually involve day hikes followed by quiet evenings on a screened porch. This area and specifically this home fit the bill perfectly. The king bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed for meal prep. The large yard was abundant with birds and natural beauty. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you very much!

Cute and clean

Bright and airy property. Everything was clean and the beds were comfy. The bathroom connects to the master on one side and to the hallway where the 2nd bedroom is on the other side. Fyi, You need to be very tall to turn on the lights for the fire pit, even with a step stool we couldn't reach it and had to call a friend. They had comfy BBQ chairs ready to use and we enjoyed some smores. There were a lot of bugs near the front door, so better to keep porch light off. Easy check in & checkout, host was helpful and responsive. The entire area has little cell reception so plan ahead.
