"Room was clean, good ac, and the bed slept good. The pool has been closed for a while. No breakfast was available. And the only "office" business was from outside at a window. I will stay there again with the expectation of some amenities may not be working/useable. Felt safe and the parking was good for me as I had a trailer."

Bonifay Estate with Spring-Fed Swimming Hole!

10/10 Excellent
"The house has a nice layout, providing plenty of room and privacy for guests. The kitchen had everything needed and the pack and play and high chair were convenient and useful for our baby. The books and board games were appreciated. The location is near state parks and other points of interest. The natural spring is unique and the star attraction of the property. The house itself could use some maintenance in upstairs bathroom and the AC vent near the library. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely like to stay again."
