Loved staying here!!
The house was clean and pretty and perfect!! It’s all updated. Beds were super comfy and warm (it was cold the weekend we stayed). We did have an issue with a couple of minor things but Mike came over instantly and fixed them immediately. He was very attentive and very friendly and I enjoyed talking with him! We stayed for a soccer tournament and it was super close to Seminole Soccer Complex. I would absolutely stay there again!

We brought out teenagers for a couple of days of going to the springs. Mike was great with local suggestions in case out plans were thwarted. His suggestions saved the day and we had a great trip! The property was beautiful and very clean! We were extremely comfortable here!

Clean and organized home
We stayed at this location to visit Kelly Park which is about 20 mins away. The home is a guest home and it is very clean and well organized. The host, Mike, is very accomodating and hospitable. We had a mix up with the dates and he was very understanding. We are very grateful! We would highly recommend this home if you plan to visit this area near Orlando.

You'll enjoy the surrounding wildlife!
This guesthouse was really nice! I have never stayed at such a clean rental before. My dad and I came down to FL to visit my brother's family nearby. This place was central to all of the places we wanted to visit. We loved rolling up to the stop sign and seeing a beautiful black bear emerge from the woods. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the screened in porch while hearing lots of chirps and a rooster or two somewhere nearby. The beds were really comfortable as well. I slept really well the entire time. Mike was next door if we needed him. I'm thankful that our usual VRBO was booked b/c we had a really nice time here. And you will too!

Cottage Hideaway
This was the first time my wife and I booked with a VRBO property. We were a little unsure about the process. Right from the very beginning the hosts were there every hour of the day ready to assist us in any way necessary. The hosts gave us maps and suggestions as to the best eateries and the best sights to visit. They were very respectful of our privacy and comfort. We would not have any problem recommending this property to anyone and if we return to that area we will look for its availability. Thank You for a good experience. John & Lorene.

Nice little place
The home was exactly as described and easy to find. Owner lives next door and is involved in the check in process to provide door code, review rules and sign off that everything is in order. Had no problem with this, just different from my other property stays.
Rooms had fans which we love. Had coffee, tea and ice available to us.
Beds were comfortable as well. Loved the screened porch to enjoy coffee on the cooler mornings.
The only thing that may be an issue for some was the privacy of the bathroom. It is a barn door with no luck and a small gap.
Overall a great property, very nice host! Would stay here again

Much needed mini vacation
We will be back to stay at this lovely cottage. The owners supplied everything you would need to relax on your vacation. There was plenty of towels, dishes, plates and cleaning supplies.
It was clean and spacious. They provided a nice play area for our dogs to play while we relaxed on the patio during the morning.
The owners also gave great recommendations on where to eat and swim.
The King bed is so comfortable. I didn't want to go home to my own bed.
Thank you, Mike and Shawn, for being such great host. We will see next time. ;)

Very nice accommodations
Very clean...super comfy bed...loved the reverse osmosis water...private...beautiful shower..very nice owner...only disappointment was that I thought it would be right next to the entrance of Rock Springs, but it was actually on the other side of the park so it took us 15 min to get there...tip:if you are going to Rock Springs, get there around 630am to be able to get in (on weekends)

Just what we wanted-peaceful and clean
Our hosts were excellent. We enjoyed being away from the big city. This little hideaway was exactly what we wanted. It was clean and very nice. The screened in patio gave us a view of the jungle like greenery in this rural neighborhood. A wonderful place to have coffee in the morning. We would gladly book this place again.
