Cozy Cottage
We had to evacuate for Hurricane Milton and this cozy cottage in the woods was a very nice refuge. Crystal River is a great town but due to the hurricane it was limited in what was available. Gary was a great host and we really appreciate the time we had in the cottage.

Beyond expectations
The cottage is as described. Very spacious and comfortable for a 1 bedroom home. Plenty of hot water and linens. Kitchen fully stocked including spices. The hosts are on the property and their main goal is to see to your comfort. They will also provide suggestions tailored to your appetite for food and adventures and they are spot on. What a wonderful way to decompress and relax. The front porch is a great place to read or rest Neighborhood is full of nature and a great place to walk your dog. It only takes 10 to 15 minutes to get to town but you avoid all the noise and commotion. Instead you listen to birds.

One word....WOW! The cottage was everything we could have hoped for and equipped with everything we could have needed. The host was kind, fun, and a pleasure to meet. He gave us some of the best tips for local adventures and places to eat. We felt 100% comfortable, safe, had so much fun, and hope to return as soon as we can!

Wonderful 1 bedroom cottage. Very clean modern kitchen and bath.Only10min from downtown Crystal River. Gary is a fantastic host and has a wealth of knowledge on fishing and the area. He is there when you need him and invisible when you don't. Very private with lots of safe room for the dog to run as well as seprate parking area for your boat. Note: No internet and cell service may not be the best depending on your provider. Highly recommend. Will be back for more of Garys muffins!! Chip & Deb
