About this property
Gator Springs ~ Close to Hospitals, Springs & UF
- Whether here for vacation, business or health, we believe you`re here for important things! Things that should not include a long list of chores upon check out. Bring the whole family! Pet friendly for dogs with current vaccinations and flea control.
Nestled on a wooded lot, we left much of the landscape untouched. Enjoy plenty of shade, dappled sunlight and lots of nature sounds. Inside is flooded with ample natural light as the house has lots of windows.
Unwind at the end of the day with a hot shower on the back deck then enjoy the firepit under the café lights and stars.

>Plenty of fresh towels & wash cloths
>Shampoo, conditioner & body soap
>Kitchen gadgets for preparing meals & desserts!
>Mixer, mixing bowl, baking sheet, cake tins, muffin tins, measuring cups/spoons, basic spices
>Cutting boards
>Sharp knives
>Drip coffee maker, filters, cream & sugar
>Coffee, tea & cocoa
>Ironing board & iron
>Extra blankets
>Board games & cards
>Matches for the fire pit & skewers for smores!

My family and I came to town unfortunately for a funeral. This place really helped give us a chance to spend time together comfortably as a family. Very neat, comfortable, and updated home. The rear patio is a great sit around area . Not far from anything great place

Clean and Comfortable home!
Home was immaculate, extremely comfortable, and well stocked. Cooked in both nights and had everything we needed. Really enjoyed the gas fire pit in the backyard. The TV was amazing for watching sports and shows! Makes me want to upgrade ours at home! Lisa was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. She clearly takes pride in her home as it was so clean! Would stay again!
