The property is great and I had a fabulous 3 night stay. Ana was fantastic and gave great suggestions for things to do in the area. Loved the location, pet friendly and beautiful. Would came back again.
Great concept, great environment, very clean, great looking decoration, great shower, very equipped kitchen. Only the bad could be better, mattress is a bit too skinny but not terrible, a mattress topper would fix it.
This is a five star stay! Every little detail has been thought of to make your stay a peaceful and fun one. The one issue was the bed. It was very hard and uncomfortable. I would call this experience “glamping!” The wood pit was so relaxing and fun! The inside of the tiny home is so cute and clean. Every detail has been planned for a home away from home experience. The property is perfectly maintained and the owners let us check in early to rest, from an exhausting trip to Disney before our last 4 hours of our drive. Highly recommend this for a restful stop on a long drive!
I absolutely LOVED the cabin. Booking my return trip in April. Cozy, immaculate, peaceful. They thought of everything. I want to build one just like it in my back yeard at home! Now I know where to stay want I want my fix of the awesome vibe of the Springs area.
Our stay at this cabin was very pleasant. The reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because we encountered a few issues during our visit.
The kitchen area—which we used since we had brought everything to cook—had several small cockroaches that came out at night. I tried to clean the area a bit, but later we also saw some in the bathroom. I hope this feedback helps the host take care of the issue, as we had to store all our food in the fridge to keep it safe from bugs.
There was also no hot water in the shower—only in the bathroom sink and kitchen sink. Thankfully, with the warm weather, we were still able to shower without a problem.
Aside from that, the cabin is super cute and cozy! We loved the overall experience. The night sky was absolutely stunning—clear and beautiful. The cabin itself is lovely and very well-located, close to the springs and easy to find.
It has everything you need to cook basic meals, and the bathroom was clean and well-stocked with soap, shampoo, conditioner, and even a hairdryer. Very clean and well-equipped!
Quaint small cabin that has everything you need for a few days & nights away! Coffee-holic I am, was pleasantly surprised with Quality Keurig & nice array of K cups! Nice cups, dishes, & utensils. The rain head shower head is a nice touch-great shower.
We not only recommend it, we WILL BE BACK!
Thank You to Iur Kind Hosts, we knew you were available, but you left us our Privacy. See Y’all Soon!😁😎😁
We had such a lovely stay at Vista Verde Farm Retreat! The tiny home was absolutely adorable—cozy, clean, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for a perfect little getaway. You can tell a lot of care went into creating a warm, welcoming space.
The surrounding area is peaceful and beautiful—perfect for relaxing and unplugging a bit. While dining options are a little limited nearby, we found a gem in The Great Outdoor Restaurant, which quickly became our favorite spot for a meal out.
The host was wonderful and even offered firewood at the same price as in town, which made evenings by the fire feel easy and special. The whole setup just felt precious—like a hidden little retreat where everything slows down in the best way. We would absolutely come back!
