Beautiful Historic Home
Loved this home! This home is larger than it appears from the street and it is beautifully decorated (some antiques that we were careful not to use). It is so beautiful! The backyard is peaceful with a lovely pool. There are two parlors with plenty of seating. Beds are very high, esp. the 2nd queen room, but comfortable. Host was very responsive. Recommend for families with older children or all adults due to concerns for possible damage to the decor.

Unique and Beautiful Home
First off, Lori was great to work with and very nice. Secondly the home is one of the coolest houses I've ever been in. It is dripping in personality and uniqueness while also being very comfortable and pleasant. It has a lot of space. The backyard is huge and well fenced in. The pool adds a nice spot to cool off and you are surrounded by a garden with all kinds of butterflies; super cool. The only issue was the front door's locking mechanism is really old and simply needs to be replaced with a standard dead bolt. Other than that, its probably my favorite Vrbo destination to date.

A Private Treasure.
The charm and decor of this home is unmatched. Bushnell Florida is not really a tourist destination. That's why we like it here. Why pay for a resort, when you can stay here. The back yard is a park in itself. I have to come back.

Hands down, the best experience we’ve had in a vacation rental. The home is absolutely beautiful, well-stocked, and offers an abundance of space—both indoors and outdoors. Upon entering the spacious primary hallway, we felt transported back in time, so much so that we joked about waiting for a historic tour guide. We were in awe of the architecture, detail, and historic items throughout the home. The primary bed and various seating areas were incredibly comfortable as well. Everything about the home, location, and experience created a peaceful paradise. I should add that the WiFi was also super fast and reliable as well, though, I recommend you come to relax! The pool was a highlight, and we enjoyed strolling through the large backyard with our pup. Our host, Lori, was kind, easy to communicate with, and fun to talk to. We loved her property so much that we’ve already booked a second stay for later this year. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Excellent stay!
This house is awesome and every sense of the word. Large enough to have people, but not feel on top of each other. Historic, artistic, and eclectic. If you want to unique stay, this is the place for you. Everything was clean and the house is well stocked with all the supplies you could think of. The house was pet friendly and had a large yard for my dog to run around and play. The pool is nice, although it was hot every day this week, but I blame that on the weather and not so much the pool itself. The location is very quiet with very limited noise from neighbors. If you’re looking for a quiet and relax and get away, this is the place for you. Lori was extremely easy to communicate with and very nice. Would recommend and would stay again!
