Great Springs Get away

What a gem of a house for a springs get away. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house is very nice and spacious. The hosts have thought of everything. Easy to find and close to the springs and several state parks. Check out The Farmstand restaurant and The Collective food trucks while you are there they are both great.

To the springs

The house is a great place to stay. We visited a couple of the springs in the area. If you wanted to eat out it was a little bit of a drive but not to bad.15 to 30 minutes to any chain restaurant plenty of local places. Sisters is great for lunch. Will book again if we go back to this area.

Family retreat

Got together with family around the holidays and had a great stay. Place was well stocked with whatever we'd need. Enjoyed yard games in the fenced in backyard while grilling out. Home was clean and beds comfortable. Place was close to where we needed. Highly recommend and would stay here again.

Perfect Spot to Stay

The property was impeccably maintained and stocked with everything you could need to enjoy the Springs area of Florida, whether you are out and about or trapped by an afternoon storm. All beds were comfortable, plenty of games and books were provided, and the screened porch was one of our favorite spots to relax in between trips to the Springs. The decor and comfort level were on point. We will definitely be back.

Engagement

I was so impressed with this cute house! It was all labeled so you knew where everything was. They also provided plenty of clean towels so you didn’t have to do anything as every day. My daughter got engaged at the state park on St. Patrick day! This house was so close by for all of us! The beds were very comfortable and they had plenty of extra blankets . We will definitely save this house for our next trip! Thank you Bill

Very homey and clean

We were visiting family and keeping 4 of our grandchildren who live nearby, and also needed a pet friendly place to stay with our Great Pyrenees. The Collins home was perfect for our needs. The beds are comfortable, plenty of pillows and blankets throughout the house. And lots of towels. And the kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need and more. The snacks and wine are a nice touch as well.

Perfect Place

This was the perfect place for our visit to our home state. The home is decorated beautifully and there is ample space for everyone. The back yard is completely fenced with chain link. This was something very important to us for our dog. It was peaceful and quiet, except for our laughing. The owners have put a lot of thought into what one would need to feel at home. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and serve meals. The furniture was comfortable and there are two porches. One screened and one open. The host was available for anything you had questions about. We will definitely stay again when we are in the area, if its available.
