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.

The property was amazing, very comfortable and quiet. The mix of old and new was incredibly done. The creek behind the house was peaceful and fun to look for animals.
I spent 3 nights at the cottage and wished I could have stayed longer. The property is very peaceful and exceeded my expectations. We enjoyed seeing a beautiful white peacock on the property grounds and a short canoe ride led us by an emu/alpaca farm. Enjoyed fishing, using the grill and nearby restaurants. This is definitely a property I would like to rent again.
Loved the cottage, enjoyed sitting out on the patio at night listening to the frogs and crickets, very peaceful. Totally enjoyed the water access kayaked multiple times.
The house was perfect for me and my dogs. The fenced in yard was just the right size, and the water behind the house was beautiful. The house was a little hard to find since it's kind of hidden, but access was very easy once the owner helped out.
The cottage is nicely decorated. Very cute and comfy! Jim fished the entire time & caught a lot of blue gill. The water is clear & you can watch the fish swim by. The property is lovely. If traveling with your pet it is perfect. Fenced in no leash required! We had a lovely time.
This little cottage is absolutely adorable. Off the beaten path and very quiet and peaceful. We were provided with everything we needed. Had a very enjoyable stay. Would definitely recommend.
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.
My husband and I enjoyed our stay in this waterfront cottage. It's a great place for a weekend getaway and is close to MANY Florida Springs attractions (we visited Seven Sisters while here). We found the site very relaxing and I appreciated that there were multiple vessels already in the water available for a quick paddle on the Halls River, which we took advantage of using the canoe at the property. There is also a fantastic restaurant just down the road called Wallace's which had great ambiance and great service--we visited them both nights that we stayed at the cottage. And although we did not bring our dog this time, the property is very dog-friendly and you can close the main gate after you drive into the yard to keep your pup corralled (just keep in mind that there is no fence along the water). The only thing that would make this property better would be a stove and dishwasher, which would facilitate a longer stay. That said, there are some smaller appliances available for cooking, as well as an outdoor grill. All in all, this is definitely a rental that I would return to again for short stays, and I intend to!
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
There are so many lovely things to say about this property. Quiet, beautiful and the owner has added so many small touches that you feel like a guest in their home! It rained the whole time we visited, so we did not get to use the Kayaks, but we will be back next year and hope for better weather. Can't wait to explore this area more! Thank you for a great weekend !
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.
We had a wonderful week at this property! It was very clean, quiet and had everything that we needed for a nice stay. It was nice having the canal nearby for watching the wildlife and fishing. It was very comfortable for the 2 of us plus our dog. I would stay there again.
