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.

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!!
