Charming old (circa 1899) cottage in the heart of High Springs, it was the ideal place to stay while visiting family. We made good use of the outdoor grille, the gas fire pit and even the mini putt golf green. The teenagers enjoyed the 2 big screens for video gaming.

Cute cottage!

We rented the cottage so we could be near the springs. We visited several of the beautiful springs and just loved the experience. We enjoyed everything about the cottage. Shawn really seems to go out of his way to make sure everything goes well. The cottage has everything you might need and is beautifully decorated. We loved it and recommend this place!

We had an amazing stay at the Cozy Retreat. It was perfectly located for all we needed and wanted to do. We Kayaked down the Itchetucknee River and spring hopped to 6 springs. My children and Nephew had a wonderful time. They really enjoyed the putt putt in the back yard. It had everything we needed. Thank you so much!

Clean, quaint, and convenient

We were looking for a convenient place to stay while we were diving @ Ginnie Springs, and this house really fit the bill. Original painted floor in the foyer and retro-styled new appliances in the fully-equipped kitchen added to the charm. Just a short walk to downtown restaurants and easy access to SR340 to Ginnie Springs. Shawn is a great host, very attentive to our needs which were few because the house is so well-equipped. We will definitely stay here next time we're in High Springs!
