Great stay!

Perfect location near multiple springs! House has everything you need and dog friendly with fenced in yard with gate. Very private and great home base to come back to.

So close to all the springs

Finding this cozy cottage covered in trees and it's shady porch was just what I needed to get away from the city. It is very centrally located to many springs and beautiful natural areas and works as a great home base. It only 2 blocks from Ft. White, but you feel like you are out in the country. I LOVED having the windows open and not having to worry who was looking in. Really enjoyed the stay, also fenced yard great for dogs.

Great Getaway

Very cool, private setting with friendly goats. The only thing I would suggest is to fill the fish tank in the one bedroom as the noise from the filter is constant. Great place to stay if you visiting Ginnie Springs. Would def stay here in the future.

Great stay in Fort White

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The location is very convenient to access springs in the area. Communication was the most consistent and responsive I've experienced in working with hosts, and the property offered quiet seclusion, particularly in the evening to get a restful night's sleep. The fenced-in yard was ideal for my dog. I look forward to returning.

Exploring the Springs

Super cute cabin had everything that you needed. My pups loved the huge fenced in front yard ran until they pooped themselves out. Host was very responsive tried to resolve some issues ie: no internet, however a hurricane did come thru "Debby" so totally understand. Thanks for a great stay will book again.

Goat Therapy

Exactly what we needed. Off the beaten path yet very convenient to tubing, kayaking paradise. Enjoyed the solitude with the company of the goats. Property is as depicted in the listing and the host was extremely responsive given our short booking notice. Rocking on the front porch in a rainstorm was divine!

Fort White Road Trip

We went for the Labor Day weekend. Cabin is small but it was clean and very peaceful. They have goats at the property that greet us every time we went out the door. The kitchen was well stocked with what we needed to prepare breakfast. At the front porch they need to add more sitting since we were four and they only have two rocking chairs. The fish tanks are a nice touch however they get quite annoying at night when all you want is to sleep after a long day of kayaking and hiking. Overall it was a good place to stay.

Relaxing, Close to Springs

Our family of four and four legged companions had a great stay here. We were out of the crowds of touristy attractions, but very close to everything we wanted to see. We visited Gilchrist and Itchatucknee Springs while there with ease. The property was spacious, our city dogs loved the freedom of the large fenced in property. The goats were there to greet us upon every arrival as we returned to the property and definitely provided some additional entertainment for us.....and the dogs! Christian was readily available for all of our concerns and made check in and out super easy and convenient, we would come back in the future if ever in the area.

Peaceful getaway

Christian was a helpful host and was easy to get ahold of! It’s a great place to stay with pets with a big fenced in area. The goats are sweet and friendly! The only issue we had was with the toilet tank refilling and needing to fill the tank up when we used it. The big window in front could use a curtain for privacy at night. It’s a great place if you’re wanting to be in nature and have a quiet weekend!
