Softball retreat

We stayed here during a softball tournament in Newberry. It was only 30 minutes from the fields and offered the perfect retreat between/after games. The property was so clean, open and the perfect relaxation after a long day!

Peaceful and Beautiful

This was an amazing stay. We would recommend it to anyone who wants a break from the hectic world to relax in peace. Our children loved the donkeys. The nearby springs are beautiful. Williston had a fun 4th of July parade, festival, and firework display we were able to attend. All around it was a lovely 2 weeks.

Weekend trip!

We stayed here to attend the Backwards K softball tournament. The location was perfect, an easy drive to the fields for the games. The house was wonderful, clean and the kids loved the chickens, donkeys and the cat. The pool was nice to cool off after the long hot days. I wish we could have stayed longer, to explore the area more as there are many springs nearby.

Nice place to get away

The property was a great place to get away and forget about the fast paced life of our daily grind.It was just not evident by the wording of the add that the pool and the fire pit area were to be shared by both of the houses on the property

Peace and Quiet

My family decided to take a last minute trip before school starts. We needed some peace and quiet and found it! We were only 25 minutes from any of the springs or big attractions we wanted to experience, but still had the quiet country setting and home like feel. Even though there was ample WiFi, my teenage kids went outside... together...and enjoyed the pool and feeding the animals on the farm. The tub in the primary bathroom was wonderful after a morning of zip lining with the kids too! We love to visit this area and will definitely be back to stay in this house. We stayed in the East House.

Quiet getaway

We stayed her for my daughters graduation from UF. It’s about a 20-30 minute drive to the school but traffic is nothing. This place was super easy to check in. House was cleaned and well stocked with linens and kitchen stuffs. My kids really enjoyed the donkeys that live on the site, but they are very quiet neighbors. Definitely keeping this place in my favorites to stay again. Highly recommend.

Farmland tranquility

We enjoyed the animals and the nearby springs. The well did run dry while we were there but they did get it fixed the same day. There were donkeys, sheep, a very friendly cat, and some cows.

Peaceful country life!

Such a great stay in spite of the deluges of rain. Who cares when you are surrounded by beautiful quiet countryside?! Dennis is a great host. Responds immediately to our phone calls, etc. Had never been to Williston before and now I find myself wanting to possibly live there. Great proximity to all that Gainesville has to offer: Starbucks, Whole Foods, CycleBar, etc. The house was clean and well laid out. Loved having a full-size washer and dryer; so handy! Would we stay there again? YES!! 👍😊👏👏👏

Fantastic VRBO Experience

We had a terrific experience staying in Little Ridge. We stayed for three weeks and had everything we needed. The bathrooms, beds and kitchen were nice and well appointed. Dimmable lights were a nice surprise. The gate added extra security, which we appreciated. We were only about 10 minutes from HITs and about 20 from WEC, so it was very easy to travel back and forth. The internet worked very well unless you're working on the back porch. It works but is a little weak. Lastly, we enjoyed being able to go out each day to visit the animals.

Quiet ranch a slice of heaven in the country

Was a bueatiful property filled with the most adobe farm cat and up I’ve ground pool and most well kept cows, sheep, and chickens on property. The East house was well stocked with everything we needed and well kept with various sets of information 2 sets of twin beds very count couch and smaller couch with large tv and seating porch outside and large master suite. The only complaint I had was the twin beds closet to bathroom were a little hard, so some of my friends had a hard time sleeping. And I wish there was a way to create more privacy when sitting out on porch as there is direct sight for both guest houses. I would definitely stay here agian very close to various attractions and things to do on and nearby property and host was very knowledgeable about the various activities and workings of property. And most of all we will miss Willy the cat, who came to join us throughout our time on the property. We hope next time to rent both guest houses and the price was very reasonable for medium groups for a weekend getaway.
