Peaceful cabin with fireplace, 5 minutes from the springs!

This peaceful ZEN cabin is centrally-located to many Springs and walking distance to Santa Fe and Itchetucknee Rivers and Springs with Private Access. This cabin is nicely secluded and surrounded by wildlife. Wake up and enjoy the back deck while listening to the birds sing and watch the deer play! Watch fire flies at night (Hot tub closed in the Summer June/July/August/Sept). Do not book this cabin if you are bothered by close nature; bring bug spray, especially in the spring and summer.

Absolutely Wonderful!!

Our Host was hands down the best! We rented here for our honeymoon! It was so beautiful and well taken care of home. We felt right at home and comfortable! And the deer ! oh the deer! They come right up and you can feed them ! The springs are all near by and the parks of the estates. We will definitely be returning for another visit!

Perfect Getaway for Nature lovers

This property is close to the springs and other amazing natural features that are gems of Florida far away from touristy beach life. If the packed beaches aren’t your vibe this is the place for you. The Hosts have put great effort into curating a peaceful and welcoming property with an amazing crystal collection and it shows they genuinely care about your stay. The outdoor fireplace and deck are a great feature to relax and indoor decor is wonderful. This is one of the top three rentals I’ve ever experienced from VRBO

Zen getaway…. The Crystal house

From the moment we arrived, we knew this booking was Spirit aligned! There were deer in the yard, like 6-10 at any given time, thanks to a feeder, and it was so peacefully quiet that you could hear others in the woods. We entered the cabin and instantly we could feel the clean, pure energy. As we entered, we immediately noticed the selenite lining the wall corners and crystals everywhere. A different spiritual/nature theme in each room gave each room its own unique energy. There was even a smudge stick with a note to feel free to clear energy if needed, but the energy was so good in there that it was not needed. The back deck, hot tub and beautiful outdoor fireplace was just a bonus at this point. I highly recommend this location for a zen getaway as it was EXACTLY what I didn’t even know I needed for my birthday! The host has created a perfect Zen getaway that would be perfect to go to alone or with family.

Extremely satisfied with the cabin and location. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our 3 day stay. Very close to Ichetucknee and Ginnie Springs. The owner was available and communicated thoroughly with us. Would highly recommend.

Didn’t stay

Had a family emergency come up and could not take our trip. My review is only based on communication. I reached out to let the owner know I would not be coming to see if there was anything that could be done. I understand if nothing could be done. It would have been nice to have the owner to reply to my message and for us to have a conversation. There was no reply to my message.

Clearest Springs and Deer in the Yard

Beautiful place with a cool vibe crystals everywhere. My 2 cats and I stayed in the cat room. Yard and porches were amazing. Saw deer at any time of day whole families with fawns. The owner supplied food for them and answered any questions I had immediately. Very nice furniture indoors and out. I brought way too much stuff they had everything there I needed now I know for the next time. Same time next year had so much fun at the springs

Disappointed

Cabin was not as advertised. Hot tub has been non functioning for some time so should not be advertised at all. This was a birthday trip and I spent the first day cleaning dirty dishes and dead bugs. Chairs at dining room table were falling apart and could not be used. The house itself needs repairs. Lose boards on deck and soft spots in the house pose as a serious hazard. This is not a child safe house. The water pressure and hot water is almost non existing. We ended up filling the tub with a pot of water from the outside hose to make a bath. A " PLUMBER " showed up at 8am while we were staying to look at issues . So it was not a new thing. The water has not worked right for sometime. The only good points were the wildlife and the fireplace outside. I would not recommend.

A whole fiasco with ticks included on the property.

Unfortunately my stay was slimy and an experience that I don't wish on anyone, starting with the ticks on the site, we couldn't stay in the yard for fear of being bitten by these insects, especially by my daughter who is allergic and asthmatic. On the other hand it is important to manifest the unhygienic and nauseating smell of dust and old that is breathed inside the property, poor cleaning and the old and dusty carpets of the rooms made us sneeze often. we had to sneeze anti-allergy to survive. very poor quality mattresses and too uncomfortable to rest (it gave grime all that). I contacted the owner to inform her of the problem and health risk regarding ticks because my daughter is allergic and asthmatic and THE ANSWER WE OBTUDE WAS "WE WANT RESPONSENT INSECT USE." That is, he doesn't care about the risk we were exposed to.
