Great hosts, wonderful hosts in a peaceful setting.

This property was light the three bears- everything was “just right”. The living room was comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped and the bed was memory foam and lovely. I unfortunately had to be hospitalized during our stay and the missed gifted my husband with a large bowl of spaghetti and meat sauce. We extended out stay and will return soon! Thank you Gary and Suzanne and labradoodle Charlotte. Oh, and the muffins were a real treat!

Wonderful stay

My husband and I, plus our small dog, stayed at this lovely home for 3 nights. It was wonderful! Our check in couldn’t have been easier and upon arrival there were fresh homemade muffins waiting for us. The home was very well appointed and had anything someone may want. It was also very clean. It was perfect for our small dog and was extremely quiet. I would highly recommend.

Perfect Getaway Weekend

It was the perfect blend.. the owner, Gary is full of information about the area and the accommodations were on point. The Cabin felt very open and had everything we needed. We love the location because it was central to so many areas… Dunnellon, Yankeetown, Inverness and Crystal River. We will definitely go back!

Peaceful, spacious accommodation

This proposed even better than pictured. The owners were next door and we obtained the key from Gary but not intrusive in any way. Gary responded to text messages promptly. Initially we were surprised to find fresh cinnamon muffins on entry to the house. They were delicious! We enjoyed the peaceful and quiet setting with a front porch for sitting and enjoying the beautiful weather. The house had everything we needed for our stay. There was a dishwasher, washer and dryer front door ice maker on the fridge.. We were only about 10 miles to most activities. We would definitely stay again!

Little private cottage

The rental is in a very nice, private residential neighborhood. It's on the same property as the owner, Gary, who is very nice and accommodating. We were able to have our dog with us and there is a nice backyard where we could play fetch with her. The place is clean and well kept. There is both a back porch and a front porch to sit out on.

Cozy Cottage

We had to evacuate for Hurricane Milton and this cozy cottage in the woods was a very nice refuge. Crystal River is a great town but due to the hurricane it was limited in what was available. Gary was a great host and we really appreciate the time we had in the cottage.

Beyond expectations

The cottage is as described. Very spacious and comfortable for a 1 bedroom home. Plenty of hot water and linens. Kitchen fully stocked including spices. The hosts are on the property and their main goal is to see to your comfort. They will also provide suggestions tailored to your appetite for food and adventures and they are spot on. What a wonderful way to decompress and relax. The front porch is a great place to read or rest Neighborhood is full of nature and a great place to walk your dog. It only takes 10 to 15 minutes to get to town but you avoid all the noise and commotion. Instead you listen to birds.
