3 of our Women's Retreat Guests stayed in this location. It was fun with the backyard and easy to get to all the great things downtown. Perfect if you want to enjoy Dade City or other nearby locations.
Our very first Family Vacation…and it was simply amazing. Felt like home the moment we walked through the door. A fantastic home away from home. We loved the clean, cozy house…and had a wonderful time playing in the back yard. Would highly recommend if y’all are coming to Dade City. We can’t wait to come back…
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!
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.
The owners have gone above and beyond to make this Dade City an enjoyable stay. It was our refuge from Hurricane Milton. Jack and Kathy stayed in touch throughout to make sure we were safe.makesupport.
Was able to spend much time in the yard playing putt putt, cornhole, & just relaxing. Was able to spend time with family from near & far around the fire pit
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.
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.
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.
The property was a nice place to spend the holidays with family! The rooms were smaller but comfortable and the backyard offered a place to relax and have fun! The kitchen doesn’t have many pots/pans, but served our needs and made for a nice gathering place. The train is a bit loud as it’s nearby, but it was infrequent and didn’t bother our sleep. The neighborhood also seemed safe and quiet.
My sisters, niece, daughter and I participated in the Mudrun to benefit breast cancer. Those of us from out of town stayed in the house. It was perfect! I wish we could have stayed longer because the house was adorable
Worse place I ever stayed in. This is an unsafe neighborhood and we had someone try to break in during our stay and the owner and Management company deducted the repairs from my CC. The property is located in a very bad neighborhood . The place looks nothing like the pictures. I have never been so disappointed in my life. Crackdown USA
