Loved this place

We had a great time staying here . Its located in the middle of the national forest so theres not much around. Very rural and quiet. Theres a few different springs in the area that are absolutely beautiful. We got to see deer,turkey and even a bear. The host were amazing. We had great communication with them and they were very nice

Peaceful

Casual property with all the necessary amenities. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching the birds in the morning with our coffee. Enjoyed a canoe paddle in Salt Springs and a short hike down the yearling trail (went at the wrong time of day so was too hot).

Great place to stay very comfy beds and plenty of space!

We really enjoyed staying here. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of space. Anastasia was a wonderful hostess and got back to me immmediately with all our questions. One word of advice - understand when you are going to this area there is not a Publix within miles. This is a quaint little town with a country market. So if you are from the city like us don't be surprised!! It is close to so many beautiful springs and horseback riding it is a must book!!

Refreshing

My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate his birthday and get away from the city. Let me tell you this property is amazing. It’s quiet and tucked in the Ocala national forest. At night the sky is stunning and the only thing you can hear is nature. The hosts were incredibly kind and I can’t express enough how easy check in and communications were. They answered my questions quickly and had everything you would need available. They were sweet enough to give us recommendations on things to do in the area and even helped us find places that were dog friendly! I cannot recommend this place and Anastasia and Will enough. Especially if you want to get away from the city. Thank y'all again for hosting us! We had a blast!

Hidden Gem

I cannot say enough good things about this place or the host. The location was perfect, and the host went out of her way to help give me information on the things I wanted to do in the area. We stayed so busy between the beautiful springs and the trails that we did not even get to use the fire pit! Definitely ready to plan a return trip!
