Nice cozy place for the family

The backyard provided lots of entertainment for our group. The kids enjoyed playing cornhole and the putting green. Also all the space to play and run around. The fire pit gave us a chance to do smores! Great place to stay for anyone going to Snowcat Ridge!

Great place in Dade City

The accommodations are well appointed and offer a wide range of amenities to use during the stay. It is also conveniently located close to downtown Dade City. We were able to walk into town to shop / eat. The firepit was also a great perk. Used it one chilly night to enjoy conversation and laughs with the family.

Dade City FL Bungalow

I needed a place to stay near my dad and this home was perfect. It’s an older home with some aging signs but the house was nicely decorated and it felt very homey and ample room for my daughter and I and our dog. We loved being so close to downtown Dade City. The host was very responsive.

Dade city stay

We enjoyed that this property had plenty of recommendations on what to do in the area. Overall the property was nice. There were not many extra towels as stated in the description, the bed sheets were very uncomfortable and worn. We had to purchase more k cups for the keurig machine which seems like something that could have easily been included. The location was great for us as we had a wedding in dade city so was within walking distance.

Cozy home

Came in town for a wedding, brought my 87 year old grandma down too. She has a walker and the house was very easy for her to move around and the shower step in was easy as well. Love all the games and activities you can do at the home. We had family and friends over to visit with grandma and we had plenty of space for everyone to have a seat and chat. Homeowners were very helpful with all my questions. Thank you so much and if we need to stay in the area again will definitely look here first.
