Great place, could have been cleaner

Overall we really liked our stay. The house is huge and has pretty much everything we needed for a few days. My son loved the pool and the main living area. It is in a quiet neighbourhood with dear passing by on the ground and horses living right behind. One thing I did not like was that the house was not the cleanest. I think it needs a good deep clean (shutters inside are very dusty/in general around the windows inside, the drawers of the dresser in the main room were dusty, the fridge is not the cleanest and had open stuff in it (some expired) and some empty and open bottles shampoo/body wash bottles were in the shower). Maybe it is a cultural thing (I am from Germany)..I would have expected everything to be clean and no food items at all. My American friend wasn't surprised about the food and open shampoo bottles.

Perfect vacation home!

My family and I rented this amazing home for my 50th birthday! The gathering area outside was beyond my expectations! So much space, beautifully decorated, comfortable, quietly tucked into the woods with horses and a couple of very quiet chickens behind the area. The inside had a fabulous amount of room for family games, cooking and gathering to eat. The weather was somehow perfect for morning and nightly fires but warm enough to float down the river during the day. The river access was a very short trip up the road. This house would/could be an annual vacation home. Oh, and the master bedroom and bathroom…..a dream! I Could not rate this house any higher!

Hope to Book Again!

This was by far our favorite rental we’ve ever stayed in! The home had everything we could possibly need—from spices in the kitchen to extra pillows, blankets, and toiletries. We loved how close it was to Rainbow Springs State Park—it gave us plenty of chances to kayak and take in the beautiful scenery. Our kids had a blast in the pool, and everything was super clean and ready for us when we arrived. The beds were unbelievably comfortable, and there was more than enough space for our whole family. We definitely hope to stay here again!

Family wedding

We had a large event in Florida and reserved the house for our stay. We have stayed at the beautiful house many times. It’s my first thing I do when I’m planning our travel. I always hesitate to give great reviews because I want to be selfish and keep it a secret Gem but everyone should enjoy the property. It is amazing, we love it and hope when you travel to Florida, you will find it as incredible as we do when we stay there.

Home away from home

We all loved the secluded location and the beauty of the wooded property. Even though it was secluded, there was everything you could possibly need within an 8-minute drive. We used the fire pit a couple different nights and made s’mores. The house itself was laid out raspy nicely and each of the 4 of us had our own rooms. The beds were comfy and there were tons of pillows and extra blankets. We loved sitting by the pool relaxing and would love to return in the hotter months so we could swim (pool is not heated). We had family over and there was ample room for everybody to have their own space and loads of conversation areas. The host was very responsive to our text questions and was very detailed in his responses, which was super helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

Great property

Overall I give an excellent review. The layout of the house was perfect for us. We enjoyed the back yard area. The pool was nice, but too cold this time of year to enjoy. My only observation was related to the cleanliness. Could use a deep clean. Loved the location and the privacy.

Family Vacation

This is actually my family’s second stay at this property because we had such a great time for the Forth of July. It is located closely to all of the best local attractions but it is still private and quiet. The pool is always a hit and the home and property are clean and well equipped for a great long weekend. We will definitely be back!

What a great home. We have family in the area that we were supposed to stay with, but they came down sick. We booked here on very short notice. Thank you for the use of your fabulous home. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone and would definitely stay again. Tried to get the towels and such washed, but had an early flight out. Sorry..
