Great stay for a family of 4 with two young kids. We used this home as our base to explore Day trips to Kelly Springs, Silver Springs, Juniper Springs, Blue Springs,Mt. Dora, and the WEC. The home is as advertised and has a great southern charm. The decorations inside are creative. The host was very attentive pre, during, and post stay. We loved the welcome package as well. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. Would stay here again.

Maribel was a wonderful and super attentive host. She left a sweet welcome package for my stay. The house was clean and well appointed. The neighborhood was adorable and quiet. It is a small place but good use of space for 2 bedrooms and 2 bath. It was a little cozy for 3 adults but perfect for a couple or a family!

This home was absolutely perfect! Super cute and wonderfully decorated — it instantly felt like home. Everything was spotless, and the fenced-in property gave us both privacy and peace of mind. The location is right in the heart of Umatilla, which made it easy to get around and enjoy the area. Communication with the host was a 10/10 — quick, friendly, and so accommodating. I can’t recommend this place enough and would definitely stay here again!

Great place to stay in a great location

We wanted a clean, comfortable place to stay from which we could reach trailheads in Ocala National Forest. It worked perfectly for us! The owner was very friendly and concerned that we had a great experience.

Peaceful Cottage near Mt Dora & Kings Landing

We loved every minute. The neighborhood was very quiet and felt very safe. We had several meals in Mt Dora and visited Kings Landings the springs to kayak.(recommend) We will be back to the springs and would recommend this cottage.

Maribel was very sweet. She responded quickly to questions before and during our stay. We received a list of area restaurants and activities in the area which was helpful. The cottage was cozy and inviting. We were so happy our beagle pups could stay with us. Our 25 pound dogs could squeeze through the fence but it would be a perfect fenced in yard for larger dogs. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and just a few minute walk to a park. I had to work from the cottage and the internet was fast and reliable. We would definitely stay here again.

Welcoming and Wonderful

From start to finish, Maribel made my stay sooooo perfect. From the eclectic, comfy accommodations to the yard for my pups to play- I couldn’t have asked for a better place to rest for a couple of days. Book this cottage and you will not regret it one bit!
