Great home, quite location
It was a short stay, but it was really nice. Very quiet location. Communication with the homeowner was fantastic before during and after our stay. We would stay at this home again.
Had a great time exploring all of the springs in the area. This little house was perfect for my boyfriend and I. We enjoyed our stay and definitely recommend staying here if you want something quiet, relaxing, and clean.
We stayed 4 nights and the location was perfect for our trip. The front porch is so nice, quiet and relaxing to have coffee in the mornings. Highly recommend this rental.
Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Was an amazing getaway. Lots of nature, hiking, very peaceful. The nature preserves are very impressive. Cabin is great, lots of great restaurants. Gary makes great muffins.!
This is a clean quiet cottage with a great host. This is a carpenter built house that is very well kept and cared for. The host, Gary, did a great job communicating and was receptive to requests.
It was the perfect blend.. the owner, Gary is full of information about the area and the accommodations were on point. The Cabin felt very open and had everything we needed. We love the location because it was central to so many areas… Dunnellon, Yankeetown, Inverness and Crystal River. We will definitely go back!
This is our 2nd time staying here and just like the 1st, it was amazing! Such a beautiful place, peaceful, deer sightings, comfortable. Can’t say enough! Gary is awesome and the muffins are delish!!!!
We had a wonderful visit at this perfectly located residence. Completely stocked beyond what was expected and a really nice size space. This could work for even a longer term stay! Look forward to returning.

Gary was the perfect host kind and very friendly. The cottage is absolutely clean and looks new . I will definitely rent this hidden gem next time I visit Crystal River. Highly recommended!!!
My husband and I, plus our small dog, stayed at this lovely home for 3 nights. It was wonderful! Our check in couldn’t have been easier and upon arrival there were fresh homemade muffins waiting for us. The home was very well appointed and had anything someone may want. It was also very clean. It was perfect for our small dog and was extremely quiet. I would highly recommend.
We had to evacuate for Hurricane Milton and this cozy cottage in the woods was a very nice refuge. Crystal River is a great town but due to the hurricane it was limited in what was available. Gary was a great host and we really appreciate the time we had in the cottage.
Comfortable cozy cabin. Many extras as far as condiments, spices, teas, etc. Fresh delicious muffins. Owner, Gary, was helpful and next door. Nice quiet area.
The house was awesome and well appointed! We had everything we needed! Gary, the host, had some amazing muffins on the table for us! What a nice touch! The property was clean and in a perfect location! Nice and quiet! Beautiful! We will be back!
The rental is in a very nice, private residential neighborhood. It's on the same property as the owner, Gary, who is very nice and accommodating. We were able to have our dog with us and there is a nice backyard where we could play fetch with her. The place is clean and well kept. There is both a back porch and a front porch to sit out on.
