If you are looking for a good church during your visit, Pinetta United Methodist Church is just 5 minuets down the road on the corner at Colin Kelly Hwy. We did have a Cat 3 hurricane come through last fall and Madison is still cleaning up the down trees. Thankfully plenty of firewood for the firepit!

Remote Escape...
This property is a home away from home. Extremely remote and extremely quiet. The couch and the bed are both very comfortable and the host provides extra linens. We stayed here a week after Tropical Storm Debby went through so there were alot of trees down. Hosts moved all trees to property extremities but would like to return when all the debris is gone. The lake is private and has beautiful sunsets. No regular Tv, but host provides alot of DVDS to watch once the sun goes down. We took all our own food and never left the cabin..perfect escape

My Vision
My vision for my birthday was simple. I wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life in the city. I wanted peace and quiet. I wanted seclusion. I wanted to go fishing. I got all of the above at this location. The property was nice and clean and it was exactly as advertised. Thank you to the owners for helping my 49th birthday come into fruition.

Wonderful Place to Unplug
This place was wonderful! It’s tucked enough away to enjoy the solitude, but not enough to make a run into town for things you need. This is a wonderful place to unwind and reset and Lisa, our host, had great communication with us! Everything was clean and had a very welcoming feel. This was the perfect place for us to get away from it all and just kick back. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much Lisa!

Good Times on Phlox Pond
This is a charming place with a wilderness feel. You will receive unmatched refreshment and peace in this quiet spot. Pull a chair to the dock and enjoy gorgeous sunrises and ethereal sunsets. Take the canoe that is provided for a ride around the pond and check out the abundant lily pads or fish for bass. Didn’t see any gators, but surely there are a few around. There is a very nice fire pit in the yard and plenty of space for parking. The house is a bit rough around the edges, but it has air conditioning, hot water for showers, stove, refrigerator, microwave, and plenty of towels and linens. The host is also very responsive. There is a laundromat in nearby Madison as well as groceries and restaurants. We had a very nice time and would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to get away from the hustle of life.

Best VRBO Ever!!!
Ginger the Vizsla: “I got to run freely! My Mommy only said “no” when I ran 40mph on the dock. She must have forgot stopping on a dime is one of my super powers. I also heard her say Lisa was the best! I think we’re coming back and I hope it’s soon!

Restful Quiet
If your looking for peace and quiet this is the place. The home is out of town and in the woods. Nothing but you, trees and a lake. The home is fully stocked with bedding options, bathing amenities, kitchen ware and multiple tv watching options. The owner is very friendly and quick to respond to messages. This home is definitely worth the money.

As a life long Floridian, it is a wonderful place to escape from an overcrowded Florida ... This reminds me of old Florida! Lisa is a awesome host! 3rd year back! If you are looking for amenities and frills then seek a resort elsewhere! If you are looking for peace, quiet and zen then ... You found the place!

Moldy and run down
This property is NOT as listed online. The photos online make it look nice, however, once we arrived we noticed the house was not kept up. The outside of the house has green and BLACK mold on it, as well as the windows and the roof. The "new looking deck" listed online is also unkempt with no handrails. The door leading out of the living room to the deck has worn or rotten flooring in front of it. (We didn't dispute that the house was not clean when we arrived, the floors had been mopped just minutes before our arrival and were still wet...which is why we spent almost 45 minutes outside to give the floors time to dry) I contacted the property owner and was told that "no one has complained" about it before. However, if you look back at reviews from a year or so ago, it has been mentioned at least two other times that I found. While this property is "rustic" and "nothing fancy", it doesn't make up for the fact that there is a lingering smell of mildew and mold inside as well. My husband has health problems already, and so we decided not to make those worse by leaving shortly after we arrived. We were only on the property an hour. I have asked the property owner for a refund and was refunded $100 of my almost $700. I have been in constant contact with VRBO since the day we left and the case is being investigated. I have sent photos as well as videos. The only good thing about this location was the beautiful pond/lake it is located on. We would like a full refund

New Year’s Getaway
We went for a quick getaway for the New Year. This place did not disappoint!! Super quaint and secluded. The dock and the lake were serene! We took our cat and dog and they loved the property too! Plenty of things outdoors to do locally and we felt like we were the only ones around at the property! Highly recommend this place and we are already planning a week long summer trip back!!
