In the mornings, you may hear the soft call of wild turkeys in the distance or catch close-up views of deer grazing in the open meadows that surround the home. In the evenings, relax on the open-air wrap around porch beside the fireplace and listen to the barred owls calls echo throughout the creek bottom. Explore the great outdoors and adventures that await as you hike, bike, or cruise the endless trails and babbling creeks throughout the property.

Make your way inside this beautiful 3-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home where you are greeted with high vaulted ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors, soft comfortable furnishings, and stunning custom windows that offer unparalleled 360 views of this hidden retreat.

I have stayed in several Vrbo rentals mostly in the mountains two in central Florida. I enjoy staying in quit places away from the crowds. This rental is awesome.. it is well planed for small group gatherings. The layout allows for easy access to the outside. The quality of interior is high end. The host is very accommodating.

Absolutely wonderful experience!
Everything about Story’s Landing is wonderful! My family and I were blessed to be able to book this property for a last minute stay for an unexpected family funeral. We arrived well after dark and were greeted with lights on and welcoming, spacious parking and covered areas to unload our things, soft music playing throughout the house, and the feeling of being in a luxurious home away from home. Story’s Landing is exactly as the pictures show on their site. It is spacious, luxurious, inviting, calming, and peaceful. Every detail had been thought of for our stay. Our pup even had her own space to stay with food and treats just for her. The owner is very thorough with instructions and helpful details during your stay. She went out of her way to help us with things we might need for food and flowers for the funeral as well when she didn’t have to. All the family who visited were highly impressed by the property and how everything had been o thought out to make your stay easy and relaxing. We will most definitely book again when we are in the area!!! This is an absolutely wonderful house and owner. I would give more stars if I could!!

This house is located on a secluded piece of property that gives you all kinds of privacy yet or still close enough to have pizza delivered to you! If you’re in the area, there is no better place to stay

Peaceful getaway
We absolutely loved our little weekend away here. It was perfect! The outside space was amazing for playing yard games and we loved all the hiking trails. The house was so comfortable and clean. We loved cooking in the gorgeous kitchen. It had everything we needed. We can not wait to come back!!
