This home was a wonderful experience. Absolutely beautiful location close to so many activities. The home was furnished with everything you could want for a stay and the little extras made it even better. Would definitely stay here again and already recommended it to others. Clean and comfortable. Owner was very responsive and accommodating.
The house was extremely clean and comfortable. The area was safe and quiet. The owner made sure we were comfortable and informed us of an event going on in the community in case we were interested. Highly recommend this house.
This place was way better than advertised. Very clean and comfortable. The property manager went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. We have been recommending this place to everyone we meet. And will definitely be booking it for friends and family that want to come visiting in the area. Ed and Sandi Beckley Michigan
We were visiting family in the area, and this was the perfect place for my husband and me. The house was comfortable and full of little extra comforts. We were close enough to Silver Springs for kayaking and Mount Dora for walking their boardwalk. The house was clean and even had Christmas decorations. The host was quick at communicating and very helpful.
Perfect little retreat in the countryside without being too far out. We had a peaceful stay and everything was well appointed and comfortable. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy this cabin for the night.
