The Carriage House accommodations were perfect for our stay for the month of January 2025. The location was convenient to downtown and lovely walks around Lake Hunter. The area was peaceful and quiet lending itself to great relaxation. The unit was very clean, bed was great, and the living space fulfilled our needs. The kitchen was well equipped with new appliances and utensils. We loved staying here and will definitely consider returning again. Michele is great host and could not have been more helpful. Highly recommend! -Wade and Bib



I can't say enough positive things about Michele, her home, her communication and so much more. She thinks of everything and goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. My standards are extremely high and she definitely exceeded them. Thanks Michele!! Looking forward to staying with you again in April for my daughter's wedding.-Bonni


Michele’s place was absolutely perfect. Aside from the clear instructions on how to get in upon arrival, and the dedication to providing nearby food recommendations & information regarding the area the cherry on top was Michele’s kindness and the beauty of her place.
I had a couple poor experiences prior to my arrival to Michele’s property so I was VERY nervous and felt like I couldn’t pick a good short term rental. My faith was restored as soon as I stepped inside. The place is beautiful, and SO clean thankfully. Comfortable bedding, nice shower, and the amount of towels she provides is very helpful considering I stayed for about 5 days.
If you’re in the area and looking to find a nice place that you’ll thoroughly enjoy, look no further. Michele is a great, responsive host that’s always looking to make it a good experience for the people staying at her home. -Zack

On site, free parking. Can accommodate larger vehicles.

Safety is our top priority, so we recommend reviewing this detail to ensure the space is a good fit for your needs.

**Laundry Room Note**
The laundry room is located in the backyard and is part of the charm of this 100-year-old home! It’s a unique space with modern appliances, but please make sure to keep the door closed at all times to prevent squirrels or other curious critters from sneaking in.

Thanks for helping us keep this historic space clean and critter-free!

**Florida Environment and Pest Control:**
Florida's warm and humid climate is home to a variety of creatures, including but not limited to, ants, spiders, flies, fruit flies, roaches, palmetto bugs, lizards, frogs, etc. We maintain a regular pest control service to keep these pests at bay, but we cannot completely control the natural ecosystem.

Our WiFi is provided by Frontier and while we rarely experience issues, weather or other factors beyond our control can occasionally cause disruptions.
