First on my bucket list
As soon as I walked in, I started crying.
I felt I was home. I went by myself and never felt afraid...enjoyed Cross Creek and McCinopy...

Quiet and peaceful cottage
BIG problem with mold and mildew, Primary but not the only culprit is the leather sofa and double chair in the living room. But, the odor permeates the whole house. If you have a respiratory condition, do not stay here. We would not return.
The cottage was clean, and the hosts were easy to contact and very friendly. The setting was quiet and peaceful, exactly what we were looking for. I definitely recommend for a peaceful stay in the country!
What better place to read a biography of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, than on this front porch? We loved the song birds and walking in the cemetery. The property was so close to downtown Micanopy, Payne's Prairie and Gainesville, that day trips were easy and relaxed. We had everything we needed and the house was clean and well tended. We hope to return.

Great getaway
We visited to explore the Micanopy and surrounding areas for places to hike and walk around. This was a great place to relax after busy days.
Quiet country living, in easy driving distance to everything Gainesvillle.
Watch TV in the front room or use the peaceful back room to catch up on work, reading, or laundry. Watch the sunlight move through the trees and Spanish moss. Walk down a country lane. Visit the Cemetary across the way. Listen to the birds.
We loved this peaceful place. If the beds had beeen a little bit firmer, it would have been perfect.

A Must Stay
We had a great experience at this 1930's cottage! We were in the area for the FSU vs UF game. It was a straight shot down 441 to the stadium. We also ate at "The Depot" that was located [practically] across the street. The property manager was awesome and responded quickly as well as gave us a little extra time in the am to check out. I highly recommend this property.
