Lovely, beautifully furnished 1 bedroom 1 bath cottage for 2 adults. Perfect for your honeymoon or romantic getaway, but if needed there is room for 2 small children on the living room sectional. You are overlooking a Crystal clear waterway that leads to the Halls River. The River runs thru several lakes on its way to the Homosassa River then to the Gulf of Mexico. Good fishing in crystal clear water right off your patio. Bass, Bluegill, Mullet, Porgy, Sheepshead & stingrays are some of many different varieties that frequent the area. The cottage is a great area for sight seeing, manatee, porpoise, otters, turtles and stingrays frequent the waterways off your dock. Several great blue heron, ibis, many bard owls and wood storks also frequent your back yard. Just recently we’ve had a white peacock that visits every couple of days. We’ve named her princess. She is just beautiful !! There are also a great variety of birds in the area and most of our waterways are bird sanctuaries . You have a dock for a small boat and plenty of room to park your boat and trailer. The cottage comes complete with life vests, 4 person paddle boat, 2 kayaks and a canoe. A lovely yard that is fenced on 2 sides has water on the other two sides. A quiet and charming area to relax.

Very cute and quiet cottage. Very clean and welcoming. Everything in the cottage worked well. We had a very good time staying there. We had fun using the canoe, but the pedal boat didn't seem to work right. I would definitely recommend the cottage to friends and family.
Cottage at the end of the road, just like in a Nicholas Sparks book adorable secluded, surrounded by nature. Hosts were only a message away if I needed anything. when I did venture out everything, including a beautiful Spring was only nine minutes away. The little yellow cottage is a definite go back again
This is the perfect out of the way place to stay. It is clear the owners have put a lot of effort in making the cottage enjoyable. The little touches were much appreciated. The outdoor area, beside the small lazy river, is beautiful and relaxing.

Lovely little cottage and a crystal clear creek. We were fortunate to see a manatee just after we arrived. What a thrill. Great little property. Will visit again.

Loved it!
Beautiful yard, waterfront. Cottage so cute and cozy cottage, very comfortable, but a little too close to the highway, we could hear the traffic
Very beautiful peaceful place. If you're not sure about this one, trust me it's THE one. Had fun fishing and feeding the turtles. We took the canoe out and went to the lake, saw a couple of otters playing and emu island was a very very nice surprise. The bed was super soft and everything felt inviting. The cottage is a really nice size with a lot of beautiful lighting. Even though it doesn't have a stove it literally has everything else that you would ever need, plus the larger refrigerator outside is a really nice touch. The detail put into this place is really amazing, the lamps are gorgeous and the bathroom is beautiful. All around a definite 10/10. Worth every penny.
The water in the backyard is why I selected this place, and it did not disappoint! We had a wonderful, beautiful canoe trip from the cottage up and down Halls River. There were lots of fish and we found some manatees. They came to look at us and swam around the canoe.
We had a great 2 night stay in the cottage. Its a good size and everything was provided to be self-sufficient. We were lucky enough to see a manatee, otter, lots of turtles including a snapping turtle and catch lots of fish. Grocery stores and eateries a short drive away.
Lovely, cozy cottage with a huge fenced yard and water on 2 sides. Quiet neighborhood and hosts Dennis and Debra are right next door and eager to help out with anything. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate most of my visit but it was still a great place to relax.
We came looking for a quiet weekend getaway and the property did not disappoint. The location is off the beaten path, yet very close to many of the local sites and activities. The outside is very accommodating with plenty of seating to watch the variety of fish swim by in the creek. There was use of kayak, canoe and paddle boat to enjoy. The inside was nicely decorated, very clean and comfortable. I had no intention of cooking (LOL!) so the limited kitchen facilities was not an issue...no stove or inside full-size refrigerator, nor coffee maker, only Kuerig. The shower had great water temperature and flow, just a little "tight" for our liking. Overall a very good stay!
Perfect place for a nice peaceful vacation. Very cute place with everything you need to relax, cook, and have fun. We loved fishing in the back yard and taking the canoe out everyday to explore the area.

Tranquil is an apt description of this property. The cottage itself is charming, and the neighborhood is peaceful. The back door of the cottage opens onto a patio and then a canal. The great thing about this canal is that there is forest on the other side of the water. The water is clear. The mullets were easy to see (but harder to catch). It was the perfect two night getaway for us.
It was a wonderful peaceful stay. As soon as we walked in we felt welcome and comfortable. If you are looking to relax and enjoy old Florida this is the place for you. This little cottage is absolutely magical!!!
