About this space
Come stay with us at The Grove! Located on a retired orange grove on the Floral City chain of lakes, you are sure to have a one-of-a-kind Florida experience.
Stroll amongst citrus, ancient oaks, and abundant flora on our 66-acre property. We have a walking path right on the water, or get adventurous and explore the wild "north 40" acres!
An exceptional piece of land, we neighbor the Flying Eagle Preserve. And only a few miles away from some of Floridas most famous freshwater springs!
The space
You are sure to get the "Old Florida" experience here at the Grove. Located on a retired orange grove, next to a spring-fed river, among century old cypress trees.
The cottage is located at the front of the property, in a traditional neighborhood setting, right on Gobbler Drive, but you will have access to the entire property to get away from it all! *Know that the cottage is not secluded, it is right on Gobbler Drive, but a few steps east will give you access to our 66-acre property that is a wilderness of natural beauty.
Our property is just minutes away from some of the most famous springs in Florida, such as Crystal River Springs, Rainbow River Springs, Homosassa Springs, just to name a few! Besides spending a day snorkeling among the manatees, you can find plenty of other outdoor activities to do - canoeing, kayaking, and hiking - all right here on the property or just a drive away.
There is a public boat ramp to access the Floral City Chain of Lakes just down the road (.25 miles away) if you plan on bringing a boat. You may park your boat, trailer, RV, on the property, no problem.
Feel free to harvest some citrus during your stay! We love to share our abundance and know there are few things like harvesting your own food. Enjoy as breakfast, a snack, or squeeze your own orange juice!
Please note, we allow pets at this listing but we charge a $20 pet clean fee PER ANIMAL. You will be responsible for sending this payment through Airbnb, or leaving cash - the clean fee goes directly into the pockets of our dedicated cleaning staff. Thank you in advance!
Guest access
You will have access to the entire Grove Cottage along with a fire pit and grill located just outside. You will also have access to walk the entire property - taking in the sights of a retired Florida orange grove nestled along a spring-fed river.
Other things to note
The Grove Cottage is a bit "off the beaten path" as they like to say - nestled back in a small neighborhood with NO wifi and no TV. And to make it clear, the actual cottage is near the front of the property - you will be right off the road, next to other homes, just as in a traditional neighborhood. The seclusion takes place on the 66 acres behind the cottage, which you will have access to explore!
The neighbors are very kind and helpful. You will surely experience some good ol' southern hospitality here so no need to worry about safety.
Also, as the property is located on the Floral City chain of lakes, there is a chance to see alligators near the river on the property. Be mindful, as it is Florida and although this is a common sighting to the locals, it could be very startling!
