Family gathering

We used to live in the area and and returned for a 60th wedding anniversary. The area is very scenic and loads of fun if you like water and good weather this place was perfect for us to stay as a family seemed a lot bigger than the square footage advertised.

Springs here we come

Near tons of springs. Not near a bunch of things but thats based on that its near small towns. My suggestion if driving in and able to stop at like a walmart to do so, but if something is forgotten dollar general markey is available. Loved the house and the hosts communication was the best!

Fantastic Stay!

Brenda was very kind and communicative. The home is out in the country, which we loved, and less than 20 minutes from the springs. It was super quiet, and the AC worked great, which in this FL heat, is an absolute necessity! We will definitely be back next time we're in the area. Thank you :)

Fantastic secluded property near all the springs

This was an ideal home for our extended family ranging in age from 19 to 79. We enjoyed the privacy of the property. The home had everything we needed and then some. We definitely want to visit again.

Exactly as it should have been

The best thing about this stay was the property manager. I had the code to get inside in advance, she always messaged back quickly and had all concerns taken care of. It was like i was back in the 1990s with real customer service. The home was exactly as described and less than 5 minutes away from boat ramps and ellie rays (our main destination)

Great getaway in the woods!

My family and 2 kids had a wonderful time at this home. We went tubing at the state parks and this property is close to multiple locations. It was great having privacy in the woods, but yet still being only 15 minutes away from town. The owner is incredibly nice and accommodating. Will definetly try to stay here again in the future!

Great location, beautiful property

Brenda was extremely accommodating. Everything I needed help with she was ready to respond and help within minutes. The property is beautiful. 20 acres of forest to explore and run around in. We saw deer and owls every night. It is a great location and is very close to the springs, about a 20 minute drive. Overall, wonderful place and I highly recommend.

Towels, toilet tissue, bathmats in bathrooms. > the gathering space our family most enjoyed was adjacent to the kitchen; Large screen TV w/roku provided movie entertainment. The space was open enough for us to enjoy several riotous games of TANGLED MADNESS (think inflatable twister), plus a puzzle board on the ottoman & we completed several puzzles as a family >kitchen had all that we needed though there is no ice maker/ there were ice trays but we needed to purchase ice. >Stove, oven, microwave blender, dishes, glasses, cups, pots, pans, bowls, silverware all plentiful.

Such a beautiful place!

We came here for a long weekend to tube at Ichetucknee. The place was amazing! It was so clean, well stocked, and very comfortable. Don’t plan your days around the internet because you’ll find it hard to connect. We didn’t mind this what so ever and it was nice to be away from the connections. We were only able to have a fire one night due to rain but the wood was already set up for us which made the whole experience just that much better. We are already planning a return trip with my husband’s family and we will absolutely be booking Brenda’s place again. The only bad thing (which isn’t even that awful) is the water is very sulfuric. If you’re not used to it, plan to bring your own bottled water!! If you plan to cook, grab some gallons. It makes a world of difference!
