Hillside Abode is exactly as described, and even better than in the photos. Easy to find and access, very clean, and with everything you need, no matter how long your stay is.White Springs is in a great location, central to several state parks, and springs. My husband and I live on Florida's"Space Coast", which seems to get more developed and crowded by the day. It was a pleasure to enjoy a few days in the quiet, peaceful surroundings of White Springs. It was even better to return to this lovely home after a day of exploring a nearby park, or spring. We loved sitting out on the comfortable deck in the evenings. Cooking meals was easy in the well equipped kitchen. The owners have gone out of their way to make this a 5 star vacation rental. Out of all of our many Vrbo stays, this was the best!

The trip that wasn't

We didn't get to stay as planned. Our car broke down about 200 miles away. The host was so gracious with us. The check in process was going smoothly and communication with the host was fantastic. Eventually we hope to actually stay at this property. Would recommend just based on awesome communication with the host

Exceptional Property with a Homely Feel

The property was very clean and included everything we needed and more, the extras provided were wonderful and gave our journey an extra level of comfort, it was very homely and felt like a home away from home, the property surroundings were very good and the locals were lovely and accommodating in the surrounding areas such as the stores and the nearby national park. Our host Pam and Bebe were exceptional, keeping in touch via vrbo to check if we needed anything and we're very helpful during our stay We would definaltely recommend this property and we look forward to staying here again, As we were very sad to leave this property and the beautiful surrounding areas

Beautiful, Super Clean Amazing Home

My husband & I stayed at this beautiful home in White Springs for Labor Day weekend & the home was immaculate! Lots of little luxuries and extra thought has gone into making your stay so wonderful. Only minutes to the Stephen Foster museum, which was awesome. Big Shoals rapids is just a few more miles up the road & was a nice trail hike. Like another reviewer said, it's the little things that make your stay memorable...water in the fridge, snack tray, soaps, quality linens, comfy bed...all very thoughtful. Went to Fat Belly's BBQ....that was very good as well. Super comfortable stay!!
