Perfect Cabin Perfect Location

This was a fantastic place to stay. I came down to dive at the local springs and was only about 10 minutes away, Gainesville is about 20 minutes. The inside is very clean and had all of the amenities you could want. Outside had tables chairs and a grill. The owner met me when I arrived and introduced herself. I would highly recommend this property for any future stays in the area.

Cozy cottage for a little R&R

We needed a place to stay for a little R&R after the holidays and this place was perfect. Cozy and peaceful. It is far enough away from the hustle and bustle of life but close enough to town if you need anything. It was very clean and had comfortable beds.Between the continental breakfast and the other little extras it was definitely a plus for us. The host reached out to us on our day of traveling to see if we would be there after dark so they could have the lights on for us. That made us feel great before we even arrived. I see us returning sooner than later.

Cozy cabin in an a peaceful location

We really enjoyed our stay. Great location surrounded by farms. Very peaceful. Close to the Devils Den and other natural beauties. Cozy cabin and very friendly host. We were surprised by some treats that were waiting for us in the cabin. We had a great family time. I really recommend this place.

Great Pivot to Springs and Gainesville

Loved the two night stay in Williston at this property. Owner was extremely thoughtful, accommodating, and the property itself has great charm. They left little gifts of coffee pods, candies, single serve cereals... and even some fresh milk and orange juices to go with it. Would highly recommend. The property is meant to accommodate 4 grown adults comfortably... but could easily host two families of four.

Great Place!

The cottage was great. Comfortable beds, great character, and good location. Big yard for the dog to play in. Grill and outdoor area was adorable. Host was very communicative and helpful. Muffins, creamer, milk and juice along with chocolates and water were a great perk and much appreciated! Highly recommend!

Cozy Cottage under the Tall Pines and Oak Trees

Loved the cottage for our group of six. We enjoyed sitting outside every morning and evening. Plenty of chairs under the umbrella and trees made it so enjoyable. Kitchen a bit small but a big dining table where we could all sit together for our meals. Clean, cool, and comfortable inside with comfy beds. It was perfect for us! We loved the muffins and coffee. Thank you so much! We will be back next year.

Great find!

Had a wonderful time. We were in the area to dive at the Devil’s Den and go scalloping in Homosassa, so location was central for our needs. Williston is a bit remote, but close enough for some family entertainment in Gainesville if desired. Some nice touches, like breakfast and toiletries. Any issues we had were attended to immediately. We are planning another trip to the area, so def will be back!
