This property is set up to accommodate everyone, especially those who are physically challenged. I would recommend a step stool for accessing the bed if you are short. This was our second visit to this property. Hopefully we'll be back in 2026

Paradise during chaos
My family and I left our home due to hurricane Milton. After bouncing around a little, we found ourselves at this property. The stay was amazing! Communication with the host was top notch. Very friendly and welcoming. The house and surrounding land was so peaceful. We enjoyed every minute we stayed. I would highly recommend staying here. We will surely be visiting again. While chaos was happening in our home town, we were welcomed and taken care of by the host and her family. A 100/100 for me!

One of a favorite places to stay anywhere.
We love to travel. Never hotels. Always renting people’s places. Farmhouse is a highlight every year. We come at least twice in the fall for hunting trips. Most years we visit 4-5 times. Kim has always been an amazing host and the house is clean, comfortable and has everything we need. Highly recommend if you want to disconnect from the city life.

A/C emergency help
Our A/C died in the middle of July, which is a major emergency for anyone living in Florida. Our host family worked with us to get us into the house as quickly as possible. They checked on us several times to make sure everything was okay. The house is charming and the view into in surrounding pastures is lovely. Would highly recommend!!

The farm is a wonderful home filled with all the amenities we needed. When you arrive to the property you will be greeted by a horse, some cows, and a donkey. You can see they are well taken care of. They aren’t part of the stay but it’s wonderful to come home and see them. The property is well maintained, clean, and spacious. Thank you for having us! We had a wonderful time.

Country life in Florida
My husband and I have stayed in many rental places over the years and this place by far tops them all. We stayed 2 months and couldn't have been happier. To be able to enjoy the Florida temps and sunshine while being in the country was the best. It was very peaceful with our nearest neighbors being a horse and a couple of cows. We loved the backyard and were able to enjoy many days of grilling, campfires in the evening, and on some very cool nights even a cozy fire in the fireplace. The Farmhouse was very clean and well stocked with all the necessities you would ever need. We really liked the open floor plan and the bedrooms on opposite ends of the house. It was great when guests were visiting. The beds were very comfortable and all the bedding and towels were of high quality. The surrounding area has many great restaurants and much to our enjoyment some awesome paved bike trails. Kimberly the owner was an absolute gem. If we had any questions, she was quick to respond and was always happy to give us suggestions on places she thought may be of interest to us. It was sad to leave this wonderful place and the friends we made, but knowing we'll be back someday made it easier. Thank you Kimberly for letting us call The Farmhouse our home.

This is our second year staying at this property for the holidays and we just love it! The quietness of being in the country takes away all the stress of living in the city. The house is laid out perfectly and the kitchen is stocked with everything you could need. The porch is always a nice place to hang out even in the rain and the back yard has a nice fire pit. The bedrooms are large and comfortable.

Wow is all we can say. We’re originally from Levy County with family here in Starke. We came down for my niece’s wedding. We needed somewhere to rest our heads without being too many people piled up and this was perfect! We felt right at home. Thank y’all :)

Farm Getaway
We had a an Five Star stay. We were competing on Lake Sampson Rowell in a Kayak Bass Team Series. Staying at the Ranch was nice during our practice sessions. Seeing all of the cattle come up to you was relaxing. We even got a Donkey to come up and take some pictures with our Sunshine State Swamp Donkeys Jersey on!! We would definitely stay again.

We were in area visiting family. This property was perfect for the 6 of us. From my 82 year old mom to my 8 year old granddaughter. My granddaughter loved mooing at the cows and petting them and the donkey when they would come to the fence. Kimberly and her husband were just fantastic and the best hosts ever. Would highly recommend this property for anyone.

The property was just as described. Kimberly was very attentive to all details and made our stay very enjoyable. We had trouble getting on the WiFi once she found out about it, she had the issue resolved within 45 min. location was quiet and pleasant. We all were talking about going back next year. Very enjoyable to get away to the peaceful country surroundings. Deer, turkeys and quail wander around the property.

~Peaceful Easy Feeling
March 2023 - It was difficult for us to leave behind this sanctuary! A blissful getaway from the hustle of city life. No sounds of traffic, sirens, helicopters and no long lines, anywhere! Looking for country life, here it is! This split plan home is immaculate, cozy, comfortable and beautifully decorated in farm/ranch motif. Kimberly, (& Mike) have thought of everything to make your stay at their house, your home away from home. The kitchen is stocked with all the equipment you need to cook for a large family, right down to the rolling pin! All roads are paved and well maintained. The home is private, situated acres away from neighbor's. Town and convience store are minutes away. The water is good and the showers are awesome! Dark nights, starry skies. Cows, turkeys, songbirds, deer and a gentle horse, "Handsome". We enjoyed the back porch, rocking chairs and taking it all in. It was the perfect peaceful, easy feeling we were looking for. Definitely, a return visit is in order, we loved it!
