Cave Divers Spring Escape, Sleeps 8+, Relaxing Patio, Fire Pit, Spacious Kitchen

Super cute and spacious private 3 bedroom home on 4 acres really lets you enjoy the country life. Only a few miles from several springs and the famous Suwanee river. (Literally have 10 springs within 39 miles). A few of the springs are: Little River Springs (my favorite), Ichetucknee springs, Ginnie Springs, Royal spring, Rum Island(my favorite to paddle-board), Hart springs, Blue Springs, Poe springs and so many more.
Set up a nice evening fire or grill out on the spacious patio. We also have a projector available for movie nights under the stars with outdoor lounge chairs (my families favorite). If you like staying in, try out the new spa style tub with candle lights! While our home may not be perfect, its our perfect country get away!

The house was in a great location, it was clean. Any problems that we had were minor and was brought to the Hosts attention so that they could be corrected before the next family went in. The host was very quick to reply to anything i asked.

Relaxing secluded

We enjoyed our stay at this home. It was comfortable and inviting. Just what we were looking for. The location was off the beaten path but central to the many springs in the area. It would be a great place for a family. With plenty of room to spread. Would stay there again.

Great country retreat

It was a wonderful time. We needed to get out of the city and it was exactly what we needed. It was interesting dealing with out a working microwave, however we made it work. We do plan on returning to this location for another getaway.

Springs Trip

Great location for all the springs. Beautiful setting where the houses second time staying here it was awesome. The host spree is very personable and willing to help with any problem. I would recommend this place to anyone and if you have kids, there’s lots of games which we all played Saturday afternoon because it wouldn’t quit raining, but everybody had a great time.

My new favorite place to stay while at the springs!

Everything was perfect! The host even left beverages in the fridge for me!! The beds were comfy and the ac worked amazingly! That is all that I care about when traveling. Coming back from the springs all day to the fire pit was relaxing. Just what my soul needed for the weekend. This was my second time staying and we will be back. Thank you for hosting such a great place.

Accommodating, clean, comfortable. House had everything we needed for our stay. Lovely, quiet, secluded area. Old Florida feeling. Had some technical issues with check in but was due to Expedia and VRBO not rental owner. Property owner was helpful and very responsive to messages. Would love to book again in the future.

Country Life At It’s Best!

The family and I enjoyed a few days here and was sad we had to leave to go back to the real world. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was big enough for the family to cook together and the fire pit was a perfect touch for after dinner s’mores. The host left detailed information on the springs and the area. We will for sure book this place again before the summer ends, if it’s available! Thank you for opening your home to us! Lots of memories were made in the short time we were there.
