If you're looking for the most relaxing place this is it. The barnominium was absolutely adorable and had everything you could ask for. The animals were a delight and the gameroom with a pool table, darts and TV was an added bonus. And we were able to see more stars than ever before. It was pet friendly which was the cherry on top.
We spent an amazing month at the Farmhouse. Chelsey and John are amazing host. The Farmhouse was well stocked with all the essentials and very clean. The animals were a great bonus to our stay! We looked forward to the friendly greetings from the goats and donkeys when we returned from our daily adventures. The location was perfect for us. The nights were quiet and peaceful. I also enjoyed the game room. Thank you Chelsey and John for making our getaway so enjoyable.

Easy to find; comfortable and cozy; had everything you need; owners were great. Will stay again. Loved the farm animals.
The Tiny Farmhouse was cute, cozy, and had everything we needed. Meeting the animals was fun & theraputic. The grounds are very pretty and relaxing.The shower had good pressure and stayed plenty hot for two leisurely showers back to back. We both slept well in the full size bed.The location is great for paddling the Ichetucknee& Santa Fe Rivers, exploring Paynes Prairie Preserve, or a short drive into Gainesville.I reckon we'll be back. :-)
Stay was lovely, had the opportunity to introduce my Grandson to the friendly animals on the farm, and communication with the owner was fast friendly and super easy. Would thoroughly recommend .
My Grandson and I stayed 4 Relaxing nights at the Tiny Farmhouse and really enjoyed it. We went to the Gator nationals for 4 days and coming back to the Farmhouse after a full day of drag races was the perfect respite. The quietness , the animals and a porch to kick back on was great. The place was very clean and the bed was comfortable. It was only about a 15 minute drive to the Racetrack. I know where we will be staying when we go to the races next year. Thank You for allowing us to use this wonderful place. I think next year we will stay an extra day just to enjoy the pool, the animals and the Game Room.
The property is beautiful the hosts are friendly and kind. The space was delightful! We loved all the animals. The amenities were perfect for the two of us. We will be returning for more down time.
Every VRBO needs a Vinny the Christmas donkey!!! I hesitated to give a review because I didn't want to share this hodden gem. We had a wonderful time at our Tiny Farmhouse! It had everything we needed. The donkeys, goats, zebus, and pups were such a bonus to our stay. The location was perfect...just far enough away and peaceful but close enough to the necessities. We'll definitely be back! Our hosts we wonderful (even though they're Bears fans)! Go Pack Go!!!

Perfect for me and my husband. Super clean and quiet. Easy to get ahold of if any problems and the owners are awesome and accommodating! Loved the farm animals and beautiful game room with plenty to do. We will be back again!
We had a great stay here. Both john and chelsey are wonderful people! Everything was clean and ready to go. They even left apples and carrots for us to feed the donkeys. We had such a great time there! It was our first time in florida, and john gave us great advice on places to visit and where to find great food. We cannot wait to go back again next year!
Location was very quiet but close to gas and dollar general
We were not there much during the day due to activities we were involved in for three days but the evening was relaxing and quiet. The mules and cows were very friendly and quiet. They love treats. Bigger stores were not too far away but we were not there to shop.
Beautiful property in quiet neighborhood helped us accomplish our goal of spending a stress free New Year’s Eve with our pup who does not like fireworks. Thank you!
Property as described. Enjoyed the animals. Nearby state parks for hiking.Weather was unseasonably cold when I was there, and the hosts were concerned that I had enough heat.Also, I let Chelsea know that I was in the area so she texted me that I would be able to do an early check in. I appreciated this because I was just killing a little time.
Enjoyed quiet evenings with a good book reading and watching the animals from the front porch. I didnt realize the other cabin was so close next door but it was still very nice quality time in a country setting within the small town limits. I felt safe with the dogs running around the property Thank you to the hostess ..The pictures were exactly as shown. I would most certainly stay again...
