Peaceful Retreat

Loved everything about this property. So easy to get comfortable in, very well stocked, amazingly peaceful setting where cows and wildlife abound. The house is great and very roomy. Laundry is handy and there's a great little desk area that made checking with work a breeze. Visited with the owner, Lisa a few times when we were both out walking in the mornings, very pleasant.Nothing but good things to say about the Brooksville Retreat!

Country Paradise

Our trip to Lisa’s property was phenomenal. The property itself was extremely clean and well kept. The home is situated on a small farm and we enjoyed seeing the animals. Lisa was extremely responsive to all of our inquiries and we appreciated the time being able to disconnect and have a family getaway.

Amazing and Relaxing!

My friend, my dog and I all absolutely loved our stay here! Alfie (my dog) loved running free on the two fenced acres. Seeing the farm animals was such a great experience. The house is very comfortable and has everything you need. We will definitely be back!

Quiet retreat..

We had a very nice stay. The house the very clean when we arrived. We really enjoyed relaxing outside as the weather was very pleasant and breezy. We were a bit disappointed that the horses and donkeys were not coming by to say hi like last year and missed them! But glad Lisa invited us over for a quick visit so the kids can pet the animals. Overall a great stay and wish we didn’t have to leave!

Beautiful Setting

Perfect for us! Could not have found a more serene location. Grounds were gorgeous for doggies to run around - fully secure with very good fencing/gate. The hammock of oak trees - so gorgeous - kept it shady & cool. Barely any bugs - we brought the spray but never once needed it. Maybe Mr. Owl takes care of all that!! Cottage was beautiful - cabin like. Pretty much at the end of the road so no traffic. Barely saw a couple cars/people. Heard farm animal sounds from nearby fields - so cool to hear them in the distance. Had the perfect weekend - one morning woke up to most gorgeous fog bank, then next evening a brief thunder storm and light rain - made it even more perfect. Thank you so much for sharing this property.

Perfect Doggy Vacation

First of all, this place far exceeded anything I could have hoped for! The property is so spacious and beautiful. I am pretty sure my dog thought this trip was just for her though. The completely fenced in property allowed her to roam everywhere for as long as she wanted. She never stopped smiling the whole time we were there. She has always saw those bigger farm animals from a distance, but she loved getting up close and personal with donkeys and cow (as long as the fence stayed between them lol). My human girls LOVED the claw foot tub, and I could barely keep them out of it. The bunk room made them feel like they had their own place as well. We will certainly stay here again when we visit our family Brooksville.

Outstanding Home!

Outstanding home! This vacation home was very clean and had everything we needed. The property is fenced and safe for dogs to roam free. We used the fire pit to make s’mores. There are donkeys and cows on the other side of the fence that often came to see us. Every morning and evening we would see the owls! It was so peaceful. Like a lot of other reviewers stated there was no phone signal but the wifi was more than sufficient. Highly recommend this house if you’re looking for a beautiful getaway spot. We went horse back riding, hiking to the caves and so much more. Hope to stay again in the future.

Beautiful

This was a very nice, clean, roomy home in a beautiful setting. We were surrounded by majestic live oaks, sweet donkeys and cattle. Our host was great! She was available for any questions we may have had. We had two other couples stay with us for a week of our stay of 25 days. There was plenty of room for all of us. Very comfortable. We got along fine with two bathrooms, except for the pretty claw foot tub. It had a shower nozzle, but no enclosure, so it’s kind of hard ti use. No one but me tried to use it. We enjoy peaceful, quiet properties like this, but just know, you will have to drive a bit if you want to go to the coast or sightsee. If you choose this place you will absolutely love it!
