Oct 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay outside of Tallahassee Very nice, new place just outside of Tallahassee (and away from the traffic)! Great attention to detail and it has everything you could need. Hosts Carolyn and Floyd are easy to work with and very helpful with plenty of information given before we arrived. The property was immaculate and wonderfully decorated - we were happy to have found it. ##### Brooke B. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jud J. Sep 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice little stay in the woods. Nice place to stay. We were looking for a place close to Tallahassee for parents weekend. This was a little further than what we wanted, but not that far. It turned out ok because we ended up taking a drive to the Saint Mark's lighthouse, as well. I can say, if you're looking for a quiet place to stay, this is it. ##### Jud J.
