Wonderful escape
We booked this beautiful place for a much needed family getaway! As with everything you book online you never know what to really expect when you get there. The secret garden not only did not disappoint but it was much more than we could have hoped for. Secluded but close enough to anything you need, it’s a small piece of Paradise where you can relax, enjoy beautifully taken care of gardens, with lakes and a gorgeous swimming pool. The house accommodates many people with plenty of space and beautiful rooms with light and anything you might need. Every room has it’s own bathroom which is very convenient. The kitchen is fully equipped with anything you might need! Again, the garden and the nature around this beautiful property is enough to guarantee a peaceful, restful stay!!! One thing very important is that the host is very quick to respond to any requests while allowing for complete independency and quiet. We are hoping to make this our frequent getaway destination!

Idyllic Getaway Spot
My wife and I hosted something of a family retreat, complete with adult children, grandchildren, siblings and nephews. We had a great time. Here’s the best summary of our experience: our grandson said that he had an even better time than when he went to DisneyWorld.

Plantation style home and grounds
The grounds were beautiful, and the home was nice especially for how old it is. All of the amenities you need were there and provided for you. The owner was easy to get in touch with. The beds were a little uncomfortable and the rugs were a little dirty from so many visitors. I would definitely get rid of the rugs and show the beautiful floors. We had a restful stay and would give the house an overall 4.7 because of the beds and rugs.

Worth the visit
Beautiful property and house. Fishing pond was great. Wish the weather was nicer to use the pool. House very well stocked with supplies. Hosts are very responsive. Only complaint of the stay was the driveway was hard to find at first. GPS doesn't have it pinned correctly. Hope to return in the furture!
