Wonderful experience

We wanted to stay close to the springs, and this is very close to one! A short drive to a smaller spring, and not a far drive to ginnie. There was a cold front that moved through when we came, but made it to the springs regardless. The owner is very nice as they live closeby on the property. Very accomodating! Our little one was able to explore the property and trails as well as go meet the goats ❤️ the owners kitties run around the property and are very sweet. The house is very clean and updated. Nice country getaway stay while visiting the springs.

Pink House. Quiet. Large mowed yard plus acres and acres of woods.

Clean. Quiet. Spacious. Comfy. Great mattress. Large shower. Well-stocked with soap for dishes, laundry, sinks and shower! Garbage bags and paper supplies in place. Did I mention clean? Sunrises, deer, wild turkey, and owner’s kitties fun to watch. Great setup for family with picnic table, grill, and hammock. Owners welcomed me at door and even helped with my bags, after asking if ok to touch of course. 2020 COVID times! They are available, if needed, next door. Did I mention clean & quiet? Take time to enjoy the natural sounds of the woods. Listen to the birds wake in the morning. Delightful stay. Highly recommend Pink House and owners.

Spring Life

We love this area for Springing. This property is very convenient to several Springs and Rivers. It's one of the cleanest properties we have rented. It definitely is secluded and nice and quiet. The owners are great. Very good to communicate. We will be back for sure. LOVE IT!!

July 4th weekend

Josef’s place was great! 4 of us stayed comfortably & thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Josef and his family are a few yards away in their home and were willing to help with anything we needed at the house and made suggestions for the things to do in the area. We will be back! Thanks again Josef!

Best Vacation Ever!

It literally felt like home! We didn't want to leave ever! The house is so beautiful and peaceful, it really feels like it's own little paradise. The property owners are the nicest, most hospitable people I've ever met. It was a joy staying there and we hope to come stay again soon. Definitely recommend staying here. House is gorgeous inside, best bed I've ever slept on. Kitchen is gorgeous and the fire pit is awesome! I would live there permanently if I could! Slice of Heaven ❤
