Off the grid

I stayed in this tiny home for two nights. It was clean and about 10 minutes from Alexander Springs and 20 minutes from Juniper springs. The wifi is sketchy so a back up plan is needed.

This home was the perfect get-away for me and my friends! It comfortably housed all of us- it’s a lot bigger inside than how it looks from the outside. The neighborhood is quiet and tucked away, which makes it a peaceful, nature-surrounded retreat. Alexander Springs is a hop and a skip away, making it the perfect place to stay if you’re looking to spend a lot of time over there.Our host was very kind and communicative! We’re looking forward to staying again one day.
