So nice we stayed twice

This is the second time we have rented this property for a family vacation. We had an absolute blast last time and the second stay was just as perfect as the first. The house is fantastic for the person who wants to compleatly check out and get transported back to a time where life was way simpler. We will 100% be staying for a third time!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE

Wanted to spend a long weekend with the family at Ginnie springs. Rather than camp I decided to look for a house to rent. Came across this listing and knew it was the one. The owner was super responsive we had zero issues and loved every second of our stay on this beautiful property! We are planning another trip to the springs this summer and we will definitely look for this home again!

This was such a treat to stay in a country setting. The wide open spaces were so relaxing and beautiful. The house is clean, cozy, and just like home. Will is such an amazing host.

Cute country house

We were in town briefly for a football game and this house worked great for us. About 20 minutes from U of F campus. While there are three rooms, there is only one small bathroom so this is a consideration based on the size of your party. Will was a great communicator. House was well appointed.

Property was well kept and clean! Enjoyed the gaming room. Beds were comfortable. Everything was easy to find and accessible. The house was 81 degrees when we arrived around 4:10-4:15pm. There was a timer on the nest counting down from about 2 minutes to reset the temp to 75 degrees. We had to leave at 5:15 and returned after 10:00 and it was 75 degrees. The next morning it was 72 degrees. There were ceiling fans in most rooms and portable fans for all rooms. The living room stays rather warm and the ceiling fan has only a low speed. Because we were there mainly in the evening, we did not contact the owner to have it adjusted. Location was about 20 minute drive to Santa Fe college, but worth it for the peaceful country living. We would definitely stay again.
