Perfect Family Trip
Couldn't be happier with our stay! We stayed three nights in early May. Upon arrival, 'check in' was a smooth and easy process. No hiccups. Kids loved the chickens on the property! Not to mention the fishing! All the fishing rods were rigged and ready to go. We unfortunately had a lot of rain so didn't get as much in as we'd would've liked. Anyway, all and all it was a great trip and the owners couldn't have been nicer!! Their son even brought a few chickens over for my daughter's to hold and take pictures with. Wonderful memories made here. I highly recommend!

Family fun
The house was clean and cozy! The lake was beautiful with fishing poles set up ready to use! There were toys for the kids and everything needed in the kitchen. The grill had everything needed as well as everything ready for a bon fire. Chickens were cute and friendly. We loved it so much we stayed an extra night. Thank you!!

Hope to ,come back again.

Nice quiet getaway
Spent 8 nights at this very comfortable home. Plenty of room inside the home and a large yard within a quiet neighborhood. Owners live next door and Brad set me up so I could wash my truck after long drive from New Hampshire, right at the home.

Florida Getaway: Hospitality, Fishing, and Local Charm!
Brad and Annabelle, were truly exceptional in their hospitality. They were attentive, welcoming, and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed during our stay.
If you are into fishing, like we are, this property has a private fishing dock. Brad shared some invaluable fishing tips, and thanks to his advice, I caught my first spotted Florida gar!
Additionally, the property boasted abundant local wildlife as well as Annabelle and Brad’s free roaming chickens. Making this property a must visit for any nature lover.
The accommodation was clean, and provided all the essentials. It was perfectly suited for our adventure, allowing us to soak in the laid-back, authentic Florida vibe we were looking for.
This place is ideal for those looking for a comfortable and unassuming getaway. We left feeling refreshed and grateful for such a warm welcome and a fantastic experience. Would definitely recommend for anyone seeking a homey stay with a touch of local charm!
