'Touch of Country in the City'

It felt like we were visiting family, warm, inviting, convenient and the generosity of our host Jonah was the icing on the cake. A very pleasant experience and one of our best VRBO rentals of the many we have had and highly recommend.

Slice of Paradise!

Everything about this place was amazing! The goats and chickens and horses where the highlight of the trip! We were able to explore many locations in the area since everything was so close! We would definitely come back again, just with more carrots (:

Awesome retreat

We had a wonderful time. Jonah will treat you like family. It is so peaceful and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting at the outdoor firepit prepared and lit by the host. The goats and horses are friendly, and love apples and carrots. Jonah will also provide you with farm eggs. Cannot say enough good things about this stay. If you are visiting the theme parks you are only 30-45 minutes away. We will definitely return.

Most relaxing and awesome stay ever

A slice of paradise is an under statement, this place was heaven. Jonah was the perfect host. He had farm fresh eggs in the fridge when we arrived and had more for us when we ran out. The property has the perfect amound of shade and sun. It was so quiet at night that we slept the best we slept in a long time. I could go on and on but i will definitely be sharing this place with coworkers and recommending it to everyone. Tim

Fun and relaxing long weekend!

We loved this rental! It was extremely clean and had everything we needed. We used the kitchen to make breakfast. The owner, Jonas even left farm fresh eggs in the refrigerator. The host was great with communication, he met us at check in and showed us everything in the rental. The best part was the pasture with the animals and the fire pit. We interacted with goats, horses, and a pig. If you need a place to stay in this area, don’t hesitate to book this one. The fire pit was super nice in the evenings - sitting out there and making s’mores was great.

Wonderful Get-away!

What a wonderful place to relax! Jonah was an amazing host and couldn't do enough for us. It was just what the doctor ordered, a well needed rest for all. It was so fun seeing the goats and horses and the bon fire at night was beautiful. We had some delicious smores! It was pretty neat how you were in the country but stores were nearby as well as places to kayak and tubing. I would highly recommend staying here. Thank you Jonah!

Best Host In Any Rental Property!

I'll start off by saying Jonah is the absolute best host I've ever had in a VRBO or any other rental property. He is very welcoming, shows you around and gives you eggs from his chickens. He makes sure you have a great stay. The property is also amazing. Kids played with the goats and horses. The fire pit area is also great. The location is perfect for those that are visiting the Springs. You're 10 min away from Wekiwa and Rock springs. If you're thinking of booking this property, stop thinking about it and do it. You'll thank me later.

A place to collect lifetime memories!

This trip exceeded our expectations. We captured some fantastic lifetime memories. Arriving at the house, John gave us a tour of his property and let us know all the hot spots around the neighborhood. The kids fed the goats, saw the chickens, and petted the horses. The best of all, this place is between 2 beautiful natural springs!! I recommend it to all my friends and family, and we will return as soon as possible. Thank you so much

Quiet Farm in the Woods

We absolutely loved staying at this property. My two kids (4 and 7 years old) had a blast feeding the goats and horses. The host was very helpful and he even had fresh eggs waiting for us from his chickens. The fire pit was spacious, and the grilling area was outstanding. This small farm is a hidden gem, if you are looking for a quiet outdoor retreat. It’s is just minutes away from Kelly Park, which makes it easier to beat the crowds!

Perfect Escape

Jonah and his wife provided the perfect getaway for my wife and I and our two dogs. The property is beautiful and the perfect escape from daily distractions. Jonah’s goats and horses were friendly and entertaining! The proximity to the local state park and springs is perfect. The home was very clean and was even stocked with a dozen fresh eggs from Jonah’s chickens! Jonah made sure to stack wood for the fire pit and went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. My wife and I will definitely be returning to stay on the property again. Thank you Jonah for the hospitality! Colby and Devin

Great Location - Rural Retreat

This property is in the heart of Apopka but yet is a rural farm retreat. Owner is on property in main house and is a fantastic host. Our Dog loved running with the goats and chickens and we enjoyed the retreat from the city commotion. Owner prepared bonfires for us each night and property was clean and well maintained. Highly recommend this property if visiting the area.

Paradise

Great stay. I have worked in the hotel industry for 37+ years and our host needs to come out of retirement and come work for me. He could teach some of or younger associates a thing or two about hospitality. Great stay, the pictures don't do it justice. Close to everthing but far enough away as well. Go enjoy this Slice Of Paradise.

Gracious Host and amazing property!

We stayed 3 nights and it really felt like home! Jonah was the best host. Always willing to lend a hand if we needed anything. He was kind enough to share his property with our family. My 9yr old loved to tend to the goats daily and visit the chickens. Our dogs were welcomed and encouraged to run free and have fun as well. I will most definitely stay here again in the future.

Amazing experience

I rented this property to have my daughters 13th birthday. Jonah was helpful before I even arrived. He responded quickly to my questions and fulfilled all my requests. Once we arrived he greeted us and gave us a tour. The place was extremely clean and very nice on the inside. During our stay he was by far the most accommodating host I have ever had. My family has stayed in many VRBO rentals. No other host has ever been a Jonah. His property is more beautiful than the pictures show and his goats are the sweetest. My daughters birthday was absolutely perfect all thanks to Jonah and this property. We hope to go back and stay just for a relaxing weekend again in the future.
