Not enough can be said about our stay at this place.
It had everything we need for a 3 day mini vacation.
It is near many restaurants groceries, and movie theaters.
Plus many of the springs and parks are within under a 30 minute drive.
The cottage was clean, comfortable and quiet. All the basics were provided were provided to prepare easy meals and have a wonderful stay. The location was perfect for our needs. Would definitely stay again in the future.
This is a lovely cottage in "Old Florida". It sits amongst old oak trees and palmettos laden with moss, just beautiful. The cottage is very clean and comfortable and the hosts were wonderful. It was a wonderful stay.
True vintage cottage surrounded by Live Oaks dripping in Spanish Moss. Perfect for a visit to to Micanopy! Great location on a quiet country lane a few miles south of town. We especially enjoyed the setting and the outdoor spaces. The hosts were great. We booked very last minute and enjoyed excellent communication. Plumbing is antiquated, but acceptable given the vintage of the property. Would happily rent again.

House was interesting and comfortable, location was perfect and I fell in love with Micanopy..
This private bungalow is cozy yet spacious, and conveniently located between Ocala and Gainesville--with everything you need for a quick getaway or quiet retreat. Owners were responsive and welcoming. Super friendly locals. Be aware that some of the surrounding shops and restaurants tend to be closed early in the week (eg Mon-Wed), limiting your options.
House was clean but had a dog smell. Not sure if it was in the furniture or the wood floor. Had a little salamander? In the back room by the laundry. Furnishings and kitchen items were all adequate.
We enjoyed our stay at the Palmerto Cottage. It was a cozy little cabin. It was clean and had everything we needed. The only trouble we had was getting the Televisions to work in both bedrooms. There was a large selection of DVDs to choose from, It would also have been nice to have a throw blanket on the sofa. We would stay there again if we were to return to Micanopy.
