Second time staying! Enjoyed it as much as the first!! Host was extremely helpful.Got in late in the evening, asked if he could turn on porch light for our arrival. With no hesitation he took care of it. During the rain it was enjoyed while sitting on the front porch. We don’t get much rain in California so it was a treat watching it come down. The house is just what we needed, basically “home away from home”. The house is centrally located to Ocala and Gainesville. I would recommend this home to anyone asking! If I was asked, “is there anything we can do to make your next stay or that of another guest”. The only thing I would say (and this is being very picky) is maybe upgrade the toilet to not be so low to the ground. Again, thank you for such a lovely place!!!WE WILL BE BACK!

Home Away from Home

Although our trip was short we felt very at home! The house and area were exceptional. We had everything we needed to get by. It was located close enough to Gainesville but secluded enough to feel like we were country living. Enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the evening listening to the rain and all the critters. Check in/out was a breeze. The hosts Rusty and Alexandra were helpful when we locked the keys in the house. Rusty was there within 5 mins to let us in. There is not one thing I can complain about! Looking forward to staying there again in the future!!

Quaint cottage

Booking this property in McIntosh was a great idea for the UM v. UF weekend. We were 20 minutes from the campus and it was very easy to find. The place was comfortable and clean and 5 minutes from the Payne Prairie Preserve State Park. We did not spend much time in the house but it was just right for what we needed.
