Just ok
I just feel that the owner should review the rental more than they do, because when we arrived I always make sure everything is ok to notify them of anything out of order. The Pool table was a huge impact on our stay and when I notified the owner that the slate was broken on two corners, she stated she wasn't aware, nor did she offer any refund or anything. The room where the pool table was feels cold with a concrete floor and the smell was not pleasant. The furniture is mix matched and not comfortable, the day bed was falling apart, so my granddaughters ended up not sleeping well, and the linens for the mattresses were not freshly laundered. The bathrooms are extremely small, I think the house is a little old to be a rental. I will say the animals were a joy to see and the Pecan Trees were beautiful. I would not recommend this to a friend. I'm just being totally honest.

Wonderful place!
We rented this house for our family to stay when we came for our grandson’s wedding. It was conveniently located to The Barn at Water Works Farm! Jean was very accommodating in letting us check in early in order to make it to the rehearsal on time!
I will definitely stay here again when we come to visit our grandson and granddaughter-in-law!

Above All Expectations
The Stillwater Ranch house was perfect in every way. The house was immaculate, clean and very inviting with plenty of room for a short or lonng stay. The property itself was beautiful and very well kept and the donkeys were there every morning for coffee.

Stillwater Ranch is beautiful!
Check in was easy and communication was prompt and helpful from property manager. Property was beautiful and the house fit our needs perfectly. Close enough to Crestview to hit the Zoo and grocery stores, and an easy drive down to Ft. Walton for lunch, armament museum, and the beautiful gulf. My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have already talked about booking again when in the area.

Think we found our home away from home
Beautiful property, perfect for families! Very spacious home in a perfect location...about 20 mins from Crestview (where you’ll find the majority of restaurants and stores - we highly recommend VooDoo’s BBQ and Grill) and an hour to Destin and the beach! We will stay at this house again for our next trip to Florida!
