Weaver's Landing

SidneyRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Ginger and her husband greeted my kids and I when we arrived and even offered to help me carry my items up. Ginger also offered to go to the store for me when I told her I had to go and get items for my baby and that really touched my heart that she was willing to go out of her way to help me. The place looked exactly like the pictures and was super cute. I really enjoyed my stay and my kids did also. Ginger was very responsive if I had any questions about anything. Her and her husband were so friendly anytime we seen them and I really liked that. I will definitely be staying again the next time I have to make a trip down in that area! :)

Gator Getaway

BrandonRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We had a fantastic stay during our two-week work trip. The home had everything we needed and more—comfortable, clean, and fully stocked with all the essentials. Charlyne was an outstanding host: incredibly responsive, flexible, and genuinely thoughtful throughout our entire stay. Her hospitality made everything smooth and stress-free. We truly felt at home and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We hope to stay here again the next time we come for work.

Time out retreat by the Lake

NancyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

I did enjoy my nice day. I was coming for a rest and relaxation not so much recreation. It was very quiet which I liked. The house was clean. The host was especially nice and helpful. My only suggestion would it would be to put some nicer chairs on the back porch.

Little Paradise 1

CourtneyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Cleanest Airbnb we’ve stayed in, felt very peaceful and welcoming! Loved how the set up is out there and the walk around the pond was great. Highly recommend! Would be great to rent out all three tiny homes with family, so close together but still have your own space.
