Brooksville, Florida
Peaceful location close to shopping, restaurants, golf courses. and fishing. ten minutes to hundreds of miles of trails for walking, biking, horseback riding. Charming outside screen house equipped with bar, large wood smoker, lounge chairs, TV , and magical night lights for just hanging out. Patio with 6 chairs and nice wooden table with umbrella and gas grill just outside the kitchen door. Property entirely fenced for children and dogs. 1.5 hours to all theme parks. 35 minutes to river kayaking and quiet family gulf beach. One hour to Tampa and airport. Make this your new "happy place". When not rented it is loved by friends and family for their vacations.
This home was a secluded and quiet respite in themidst of the chaos of a family wedding. For the two people staying, it was clean and comfortable. For the dog, the large, completely fenced-in property was the perfect place to sprint, explore, and be mocked by squirrels. We all enjoyed our time here.
My husband and adult child stayed for a week while we visited our daughter who had just had a baby. Linda’s home was the perfect place to land with plenty of space for the family, and our daughter’s dog who we took care of while we were there. Check in and communication were flawless. The key coded gate added an extra layer of security that was appreciated in this unfamiliar very rural area. The huge fenced yard is gorgeous and although we did not use the screen house, it would be a wonderful bonus during warmer weather. We really enjoyed birdwatching, and the neighbor horses are adorable. We loved the quaint feel of the house and felt right at home. The somewhat older beds were not as comfy as we would have liked but were acceptable. As an older home, bedroom outlet placement isn’t as convenient as one might like but long charging cords fix that. Dinner at the Chop Block in Brooksville was a highlight with the best steaks we’ve ever eaten. All in all our stay was excellent and we would recommend Linda’s home to others.
It was a nice and quiet place.
We had a wonderful, wonderful stay at your property. My mother lives down there and is on hospice; we're unable to move her back up to NC with us. Your property is right down the street from her place, so we brought my some down from VA, and scooped her up to spend some time with us. She loved sitting on the porch in the smoker room, getting fresh air and listening to her favorite tunes with our pups in her lap. She slept comfortably in the chair. We appreciated being able to bring our pups with us, they were so content to be near us and had plenty of space to run. Kitchen was lovely and the property itself is beautiful to walk around. It was perfect for our crowd, and we spent all of our visit there. My husband has now purchased his own mini smoker because he was so inspired. Ha! The visit meant a lot to us. It was the perfect place to enjoy her, and she was happier than she's been in a while. Thank you ❤️ we will try to rent again for our next visit very soon if at all possible!
My family and I loved the house. It was very homey and the neighbors were so sweet!
We were looking for a place to call home during our short stay in Florida and we found this house. We drove down from PA so we didn't arrive until the early hours of the next morning, so be greeted with special touches made it extra welcoming. The lights were on so we could easily see the house as we were pulling down the driveway and there was a bottle of wine and a note from the owner waiting for us. She also let carrots in the fridge to feed the neighbor's horses. It was a perfect size stay for our family of 4 and it was nice and quiet which helped it feel like home. If we need a place to stay in that area of Florida, we would definitely rebook it. On prior trips to that area we stayed at hotels and this was nicer, cleaner, and cheaper! Thank you for being our home in Florida!
Linda is such a kind woman. Always helpful, and not intrusive in any way!
Nice, quiet stay. Great location close to lots of food options and small beaches. Not too bad of a drive for Orlando and Clearwater Beach day trips. The property description mentions a futon in the living room-be aware there isn’t one. We ended up making a Walmart run for an air mattress because my boys (10 and 14) don’t like to share a bed.
Very nice country setting Great place to relax & enjoy the quiet in a private country setting.
Great time again at the property. Love the location, horses and the close access to town.
Loved having 2 1/2 acres to roam and enjoy. Horses in the adjacent field and the host Linda left us some carrots to feed them. Wonderful place to stay, would do it again.
Everything about the stay was amazing, the host, the location, the property, and the accommodations. I would stay there again, as a matter of fact, already talking about returning next year!
The property was clean and well maintained. I loved that it was tucked away off the main road. My dogs thought the ginormous fully fenced yard was AMAZING!!! And the horses across the road were super friendly ? and happily ate the carrots that Linda left in the fridge for me to feed them❣️ I had a wonderful week ?
We really enjoyed our stay here. We live on 51/2 acres so we are rural and this felt very much at home here. If you want a lot of thing near or to walk to find something else. But if you want nice and peaceful then this is it!
