We stayed here for 3 nights as part of a Floridian road trip. Greg is an amazing host, his communication was 1st class from the moment we booked until we departed. The property is wonderful, full of character and we enjoyed learning about the history of the property and the artefacts within. We were here to enjoy the local wildlife, of which there is plenty, including many bird species in the garden. We would highly recommend a stay here.

Most relaxing place!
My sister and I were in the area for a big family shindig over New Year’s even and day, and we wanted a place to retreat from the craziness…..Greg’s place was just that and more!Quiet, relaxing, well-appointed, and clean.Greg was available and gracious as a host, but not at all intrusive. He was also a wealth of information about the area. I would definitely stay there again, if I was in the area, and would not hesitate to recommend it to singles, ( including women, it was a very safe place), a couple, or family.

Perfection
Had a wonderful, restful stay. Enjoyed a brief history from the host and when I complemented him on his garden, he kindly gifted me with a favorite plant. I enjoyed every minute in this very private apartment, very comfortable bed and spacious shower. My tire pressure was low and Greg, the host, even went out of his way to fill my tire, going way above & beyond! Highly recommend!

Amazing restful retreat
Greg is a 5 star host! He greeted me upon arrival and walked the property and apartment with me. He also had local places to visit(similar to hotel stays). Greg's hospitality beats most large hotel concierge service. The apartment is truly amazing, beautiful, and clean. The surrounding areas are a true nature lovers dream!

A Beautiful Place to Revel in Nature
The upstairs apartment was well appointed with most everything you would need for your stay. If you needed something extra the host would gladly meet your needs. The back porch is such a private, quiet, relaxing place to watch the birds and listen to the frogs. Walking and biking trails are close. Bring a kayak if you are there to immerse yourself in nature. A 10-15 minute drive from the U of F, Paynes Prarrie and many other sights.
