Bring the kids, visit the beautiful Florida Springs, and enjoy staying in a peaceful, cozy farm bunkhouse. Have a rest on the front porch rocking chairs or enjoy connecting with farm way of life while relaxing in the barn themed living room. This renovated goat barn boasts of exposed beams, tin ceilings and chic farm decor. While staying with us you can enjoy visiting with the animals, maybe meet our 2 newest babies and gather some fresh eggs for your breakfast! We are located at a very central area to many parks and springs. We’re also located about 40 minutes from the University of Florida, so come for a game, but stay out of the hustle and bustle of Gainesville. We are located approximately 10 minutes off Interstate 75 and less than 10 minutes from the All-Tech Racetrack so if you are just passing through we are a good 2 night option for weary travelers or a race fan who wants a little distance from the hustle and bustle of the crowd. Couples needing a weekend getaway have enjoyed the comfy cabin feel and the local “rural Florida” exploration.

Great secluded country setting. Plenty of room and very comfortable for 4 adults.Was perfect for our needs.Host was very gracious and accommodating!Note that the driveway is not paved and farm animals are nearby.Expect we will return for future stays as it is very handy for visiting several state parks.

For any reason or no reason at all the Bunk House is a great place to get a way or stay. Clean, quiet, with beautiful views of the farm and animals. Great communication with your host and excellent local knowledge of restaurants and attractions. She bribed us for this fantastic review giving us a dozen fresh eggs her chickens laid just for us. We fed them CheesIts. Best we can tell you is we want to come back. Thanks for a great stay, … and the eggs.
We had a great stay at the adorable country bunkhouse! It was spotless, had everything we needed to cook in the kitchen and the owners were very responsive to messages.
Very comfortable and charming! We had a great stay and had every we needed. The location is serene and the horses were beautiful. I hope we can stay again.
Heading up to Ft. White to enjoy the springs in the area for my daughter’s birthday weekend. From the moment we arrived till the moment we left every second at the Bunk House was wonderful! Super quiet, super clean, super comfortable!! Everything you need is there and the decor is farmhouse country and very welcoming and cozy. Out in the country and away from crowds…just what we needed!! A truly lovely spot and I highly recommend it if you are looking for peace & quiet in a beautiful area of north Florida! Nearby Ichnetucknee Springs was absolutely beautiful…we kayaked there and felt like an amazing slice of heaven! We enjoyed the birds and the local kitties that visited us outside before we left! Thank you to the hosts for providing a truly special place for us to spend the weekend celebrating my daughter’s birthday!!
Very nice property. Posted pics don’t do it justice. Spent the evenings in the rocking chairs on the front porch. Cleanest VRBO property I’ve ever stayed at. Love it! Hope to stay here again soon.
Wonderful place to get away for a peaceful weekend! Celebrated my youngest turning 13. Jade was wonderful, so easy to communicate with! Super fast responses to my questions! My daughter had a wonderful experience with her first horse lesson here as well! Hope to visit here again!!
The entire experience was idyllic. I can see why many people seek to get married on the property. The hosts are truly wonderful souls. Our daughters loved the horseback riding lessons and all of the knowledge that was poured out by the hosts. It was an unforgettable experience for which we are deeply grateful!
We absolutely loved the Bunk House. It was very clean and well stocked. I was amazed how there were items we were allowed to use. I also loved the animals that were near to us. We were close to the All-Tech Raceway which was the purpose for our visit. The 4 of us that stayed there would definitely return. I wish we could have met the owners to let them know how happy we were with their Bunk House. Looking forward to returning.

If you're looking for somewhere to stay in Fort White, don't waste your time looking further. I researched for days looking at tons of properties before booking this one, it was perfect. My kids collected fresh chicken eggs for breakfast, fed the pigs, played for hours on the massive playground area, made a fire pit with smores in the front yard, it was perfect. And the cat was the cherry on top, my kids named him "Slammer" and he was the perfect pet while we were there. The house was very clean and comfortable. And the host was great at communication. We can't wait to return.
Our stay here was amazing! The property owners were very kind and hooked us up with A fresh grown watermelon. They also provided us with food to feed the animals on the property. Very well kept and clean! The property had everything you needed to make your stay comfortable! They even had a toddler bed for our little man. It is a short drive from the spring, but Tucked away enough to make you feel like you’re out in the country. I would definitely recommend this property, and hopefully I will be returning sometime in the near future!
Our family of 7 stayed 1 night and it was perfect. The kids woke up and read the guest book, pointing out the "orange cat" over and over. Then just after eating said cat graced us with his appearance by standing at the dining room window until the kids went outside.
Jade was super responsive, from my request to do a late check-in to leaving in the morning.
Pictures make it seem smaller than it is. Plenty room for families with multiple people. We will definitely be back when we spring hop later in the year.
Thanks again!
Great country getaway. The fire pit grill was a great idea. It should have been pictured. We were not prepared to have this as one unit. We had to get firewood to be able to do our barbecue. The playground was beautiful. We were not given any information as how to acess it. It was not accessible to us.
This stay was by far one of my favorites for myself, my 5 year old twins, and my best friend with her 3 year old little boy. We wanted a mommy and me trip and got way more than expected. The springs close by were so much fun! Went tubing for the very first time and it was an experience to remember. There is alot to do in that area and dinning is close by.
The host was the sweetest and every question was answered quickly. The bunkhouse was spacious and stocked up with everything we needed for our trip. The beds were extremely comfy and the showers were hot.
The animals were the sweetest. My girl loved petting the horses while my son loved all the barn kittys. The obstacle course play ground was so much fun and an added bonus to our weekend stay. The ranch is beautiful and I will definitely be back with the rest of my family. Thank you so much!
