Work Stay 2024
The drive into the neighborhood was kinda sketchy at first. Driving way way back into what starts out looking like a trailer park with red trash cans that line the street. Then moving farther back into the neighborhood it changes into small houses. Then down sand dirt roads, through the soft sand driveway to the locked gate. Once in the gate you can see the two guest rooms to the left of the property. The main house is gated, which was wonderful for our fur babies. It has a wonderful wrap around porch with TV. Be sure to bring your big spray cause man are the mosquitoes bad! The house was filled stocked with everything we needed. It worked great for what we needed it for. Thank you

Old Florida Home
It is Florida of the past. We grew up in Florida but moved to Georgia twelve years ago. Florida has changed so much since we moved but this property is a step back in time. We loved the woods and the river. It's like glamour camping. All the rustics but with nice beds, bathrooms and indoor cooking. It was so great!! We will be back.
Very nice property, with plenty of room to roam. The bed in the main house was very comfortable and the kitchen had everything that was needed to cook meals. There were a lot of games to play and books to read. My only suggestion would be brighter lights in the kitchen. It was pretty dark in there when cooking at night. Otherwise, this was a great home away from home that we would definitely stay at again!

A Hidden Old Florida Gem!
A beautiful, quiet, extremely clean, perfect family gem hidden in the woods with an extra surprise if you take a hike to the end of the property. We will be back! I highly recommend this place if you are looking for what I just stated. Outside firepit, hiking, darts, woods, trees, peace!!
Old Florida is it!!

Country Living
Everything was beyond perfect! This is country living at it's finest. Clean, well kept property with everything you could possibly need. The kitchen was very well stocked with high end appliances and necessities. The property location is off the beaten path and is very private and quiet. We enjoyed the hiking path to the river by day and the firepit during the evenings. We enjoyed our stay and do plan on returning.
