The cottage and the surrounding area was gorgeous and so peaceful. Immaculate home and we loved the decor and all of the special touches by the owners. Delicious muffins and well stocked kitchen were greatly appreciated. We loved the very comfortable beds and the abundance of great pillows and so many towels. The nightlights throughout the house were so helpful. They thought of everything!! Such great communication from the host and just a lovely place. We will definitely book again in the future.
This cottage was the perfect place for our family while celebrating our UF graduate. The beds are comfortable, very clean and we enjoyed gathering in the outside area. The host is super sweet and easy to communicate. The final touch were the muffins that were left for us. We would definitely choose this cottage again.
This was our second time staying here and we absolutely love it. It’s the perfect spot for some rest and relaxation. The owners are clearly passionate about hospitality and make it such an easy experience for us as parents of 3 young kids who have just “escaped” the tourism gauntlet of Orlando. This is one of those places where you selfishly consider rating one star because you want it to stay your own little secret but obviously wouldnt actually do that. Thanks again, we had a great time.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this home. It had everything that we might need and then some. The beds were comfy, and the entire house just made us feel at home. Hopefully we'll be able to stay there soon
We stayed 6 weeks at the cottage. It was clean, inviting and most of all quiet. The beds were very comfortable and warm. It did get cold for a few nights but the HVAC worked like a charm. What stood out was the washer and dryer availability for us. Riding bikes and hiking is our thing so clothes get dirty. No need to go off site to wash.
Perfect, suited our needs perfectly, would absolutely stay there again. Loved the home, area, ease at which we were able to get to the gulf as well as the ocean.
I really enjoyed my stay! The cottage was clean quiet, affordable, the owner was always available when I needed her . If you are ever in Willinston, FL you should book this cottage to stay in while you’re in town! The best experience I’ve had I can’t wait to come back again!
The host was awesome - best stocked property I've ever been to. She was great to communicate with and the house is so peaceful and quiet. Worked perfect for us.
This sweet cottage met our needs wonderfully. It was clean, well supplied, had comfortable beds and was close to the wedding venue. Really appreciated the regular communication in regard to how the hurricane was affecting the area.
Very clean and well-appointed. Nice touch of breakfast basics and snacks. Location is convenient for diving/scalloping and close to UF campus. Always a good time!
This cottage provided everything we needed for our stay. The beds are very comfortable. The setting is quiet. The host provided snacks, muffins and drinks. I’ve stayed in the cottage twice now and plan to stay here next time I’m in the area.
Very nice cottage, we had a great time. The host thought about anything a person would need. The location is very safe and accessible. We came for a equine event and theae accommodations were perfect for us.
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.
This place was clean, cozy, quiet, etc! Perfect location for nearby attractions. The hosts were amazing and responded immediately when I reached out. They were very accommodating and had some great amenities available upon arrival. I can’t recommend this place more! Great time was had by all in our group.
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.
This cottage was perfect for our graduation celebration. It was a beautiful country setting about 25 minutes from campus… Everything was perfect!
