This vacation home is loaded with all of My favorite things I desire or have desired during my vacations with girls groups, romantic get aways, groups and family time. The home is stocked with fun and love. Located just blocks and a 5 minute walk from the beautiful historic downtown of High Springs and a short drive from multiple natural springs and the Santa Fe River it’s definitely the perfect location and a steal for the money. The 3 bedrooms are all set up with comfortable queen beds, skin pleasing linen, charging stations and Ruko TV’s.. There is also a Queen Air bed in the pink room closet, and a portable crib for the wee one. Together this will sleep 9 people but to be honest the air bed is a light fit unless you really need it. The house is a comfy 1500SF.
The home is full of all the luxuries you desire in a cute and private package. You will feel your stress slide away. The master bedroom walks out onto the expansive deck and has a private toilet with a door a handicapped tiled shower and a JACCUZI TUB (including epson salt) and both full bathrooms include shampoo, conditioner, body wash.
If you must, bring your work or school with you! My Haven has high speed internet and is set up with a cute office space with a fantastic view so you can bring the family or job with you and work while you enjoy the Florida sun and fun.
You will love the fully stocked kitchen, with all the accessories you could dream of to make and serve your family a home cooked meal. The kitchen cabinets and fridge is full of spices and condiments shared to make your packing so much easier.

On our huge the deck overlooking the beautiful private lawn you will find a propane grill, black-stone griddle and a wood pizza oven if you’d like a challenge. When you're ready to eat you can enjoy the elegant dining room table, belly up to the bar and patio in the 4 season porch or sit on the beautiful deck at the deck seating under the umbrellas or enjoy the Florida sun. Whether you enjoy coffee, tea, soda stream or a blender drink we got you covered! Your morning will be complete with the stocked coffee bar. Then take your hot cup of wonder out to the huge deck and sit on one of the comfortable chairs or chaise while you watch the morning sun and hear nature sounds around you, you won't believe your smack dab in the middle of this adorable little town. If you enjoy reading a book you will love our double hammock or vintage concrete picnic table in the shade. If you’re a TV lover you can enjoy a beer while you watch the news from the large screen smart Roku TV over the bar in the 4 season patio room where you can also sit to watch some Gater football. If you are here for some family time you will love the bean bags toss and ladder throw along with all the board games and puzzles for rainy days.
The beautiful picturesque and totally fenced and backyard for your 2 and 4 legged kids is also the home of a fire pit to make some yummy s’more’s or enjoy a cold drink at the end of a busy day. We do leave some wood that is cut during storm damage but you will also be able to find local sales in the town. He have obtained multiple bikes to tour the quaint town and we check and service them on our visits to our Haven but note we are not here as much as we would like so do check them over before you use them. If its air they need we have provided a pump in the porch and the service stations also have air pumps at them.
Our favorite thing to do on our visits to use the 5 kayak we have provided. There are maps on the coffee table and on line where you can access the water and all the information you will need. These can take you to many of the springs by the Rivers. We love Santa Fe and know you will too. You will need a way to secure and haul them and we only ask that you care for them and return them in the same condition, just be sure to bring your own like jackets Or cushions we do not provide them.
Although, you can cook you 5 course meal here in the Haven you are only a 5 minute walk to some wonderful patios, a ice cream parlor, coffee shop, brewery, award winning pizza and of course shopping. It's a adorable tourist town with much to offer for any taste!

The family wedding retreat
My family and I stayed at the Haven as we had a family wedding to attend. The house was absolutely perfect, check in was super easy, communication was great when we had a few questions, and it really felt like you were at home. Especially loved sitting on the back patio in the mornings drinking my coffee ! We will definitely be back to stay again when we have a chance so we can enjoy all the outside goodies that are supplied (kayaks, bikes, the grills, and the pizza oven).

We are a group of friends who came to the area for access to the Itch Springs State Park. We enjoyed our stay in the 3 bedroom house. A glitch at check-in was quickly remedied by the property manager.

Great Time at the Hideaway
We had a small summer send off before the beginning of school. No one could have predicted that a week before a strong storm would close all the springs in the country into the unforeseeable future. We were comfortable and happy in the house as we made the most of our quality time together. It was a comfortable, clean, stay, with room for all. The yard is spacious and the host is easy to get in touch with and approachable. I'd recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to temporarily call home away from home.

Haven of our dreams!!!
Location with everything needed for a short trip to Ginnie springs which is about a 10 minute drive away! Everyone slept very well, and a beautiful location to spend with friends or family. Big back yard and deck would be perfect to keep kids busy. EVERY OPTION available here if you came back from the springs and wanted to cook out.
The host was quick to respond with any questions and was very kind! If we end up returning to the springs we would definitely pick this location again!!!!

Perfect vacation home
Two seniors with two small dogs looking to escape the Michigan winter. This home was the ideal safe place. Spotless, very comfortably furnished and a great location for walking the neighborhood or into the friendly, small town. Fun shops. Central to visit the many Springs, Gainesville or spend an afternoon at Cedar Key on the Gulf. The beautiful deck and private yard were a big plus. Hostess Mary was one of the best!

What started out as a fun weekend stay in Florida ended in a violent “chomping” from the Gators to us Vol fans!
