Little haven in the woods
We were down for graduation and the location of this property was 10 minutes from my daughter and downtown Starke. Close to the airport in Gainesville and surrounding lakes. Everything in this rental is new. I enjoyed staying here the 3 weeks that I rented and I cannot wait to get back to rent again.

It was better than the pics and worked out perfectly for us. The only thing I could suggest is some furniture on the porches so we could enjoy the outdoors, oh and some trash bags for the outside garbage can! Loved it!

Lovely stay in Starke
We had a wonderful time at this location, it truly felt like a home away from home. Ben went above and beyond to make our stay special, even setting up a Christmas tree for us since we arrived on Christmas Day. The thoughtful touches and warm hospitality made our stay memorable. It was a perfect place for our family to enjoy the holidays together. Highly recommend!
