surprisingly nice!

House is furnished and very well appointed and comfortable. The cottage is secluded but does not give an unsafe feel. Would rent again.

Ginnie Springs for my Birthday

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. It was just a short drive to the Springs and it was a very comfortable house that had everything that I needed for the short time I was there. The only issue is that I didn't get to stay long enough. The next time I come, I'm hoping to stay closer to a week rather than just a few days. It's also only a 10-15 minute drive into town where you can pick up any groceries you need. For a place that's not that far from civilization, it gives you a nice country feel and it's also an extra bonus that it's right across the street from the Santa Fe river.

Why they chose this property

Recently fully renovated. It is located in the rural area of north central Florida. The Santa Fe River is within walking distance from the property. A great place to fish or bring a canoe or kayak. Seclusion with no neighboring structures in site from the house. The quietness of the property is extremely relaxing.
