The value of this spot was the main plus - it’s a very cute cottage close to the Crystal River and to downtown. It was cozy and homey, but some of the features needed updating.

Perfect location

We had a great stay. Could not be a better location. We thought the beds were fine. Two minor problems, we could not get the WiFi to work and the screen on the front door was mostly broken. But neither of those affected us too much

Fernwood in Town

We liked that it was close to town, that it had a gas grill, that the beds were comfortable, and that it had counter storage in the room with the washer and dryer—for all of our beach things and extras.

Great location

The cabin was super conveniently located - close to everything (walking distance to shops, restaurants, and kayak rentals though close to a busy road). It was a cozy cabin that was very clean and exactly what we expected based on the photos. Deer visited the property in the evenings. The beds were a little soft for our preference, but we would stay here again.

People watch and walk to town.

Seamus loved lying on the porch and watching the people walk or bike by on the road. There were deer to enjoy in the yard most days. Place was very quiet at night. We slept with the windows open and we never do that at home.
