Thank you so much for your review đ Iâm very happy to hear you and your family enjoyed the privacy and peaceful atmosphere of the house. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you are always welcome back at Green Hideaway.
This place is very quiet and restful, perfect for relaxing and taking a break from busy daily life.. Everything felt comfortable and well cared for, and the surroundings added to the sense of calm. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing place to stay.
Great place. House larger and more nicely appointed than shown in photos. Host available and helpful. Big yard, great location. Kids loved ping pong table.
Loved the house, huge yard! We spent most the time around the fire pit. The five of us that stayed there for the weekend would definitely be interested in staying at the house again
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review, it truly helps me continue improving. I am so happy you appreciated the details and enjoyed everything the house has to offer. Thank you Chiquita, I hope to have you back very soon đ€
We liked that the location was pretty secluded and close to town. Did not like that I had to wash all the towels upon arriving bc the sour smell when wet and blankets didnât smell fresh. There was 1 wash cloth and 2 hand towels. The shampoo/cond/body wash was terrible. Not the best water pressure and shower heads were installed for very short people. Grass was unmowed until the last day which made it hard with a dog. Coffee pot didnât work. The floors in the house were terrible. No toaster. Weâve always seen where hosts supply paper towels, dish soap/sponges, cleaner and sometimes laundry soap, not the case. The pull out trundle mattresses were super bad. There were also flying palmetto bugs everywhere in the house as well as a huge spider. Spider webs in corners and back porch is rotting in many areas. The place really needs an overhaul inside and out. The host was very nice and friendly to deal with when wifi was messed up (due to storm). It was really nice seeing the wildlife on the property (deer and turkey in the yard)
Thank you for your feedback. Iâm truly sorry some aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. Cleanliness and guest comfort are very important to us, so I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
Regarding the towels and blankets, they are always washed between every guest stay. We use fragrance free laundry detergent because some guests have allergies or sensitivities to strong scents, but I can assure you everything was freshly cleaned before arrival.
The shampoo, conditioner, and body wash provided are standard hotel style amenities. The shower in the master bathroom is actually quite high, while the second bathroom has a more standard height setup. I also appreciate you mentioning the water pressure issue, as this is something I will definitely look into.
The grass is maintained regularly for safety and comfort, and Iâm sorry if it felt inconvenient during your stay with your dog. I also was not aware the coffee maker was not working, so thank you for letting me know. It will be replaced immediately.
Our home is stocked with many complimentary essentials and extras for guests, including coffee, tea, sugar, cooking oils, spices, dish soap, dishwasher tablets, laundry detergent, trash bags, kitchen and BBQ utensils, baby items, toiletries, board games, floats, toys, and more. We truly try our best to make the home comfortable and well equipped for families and groups.
As mentioned in our listing and welcome information, the property is surrounded by nature and trees in the High Springs area, so insects can occasionally appear, especially during warmer months despite the home being professionally fumigated regularly.
Iâm very sorry the stay did not fully meet your expectations. During your visit, I understood everything was going well, and I would have gladly tried to help resolve any concerns if I had known about them at the time. Iâm happy you still enjoyed the peaceful location, wildlife, and privacy of the property.
The photos do not do this place justice. The decor is lovely. The beds are very comfortable and the space is way bigger than in looks. Our favorite was the location. Itâs a larger property tucked away in the trees with complete privacy. The local town is very cute with shops and local restaurants closeby. We spent a lovely day at Poe springs Which is minutes away. We will definitely book here again next time we travel to the area.
Jane! Thank you so much for your feedback! I'm so glad to hear that you loved the house and had an excellent time! I would be more than happy to host you again!
The Green Hideaway provided a much needed restful and very peaceful place during some stressful doctor visits at Shands. It allowed my family to pray, rest, and get away to the Springs in between appointments. Who knew we were so close to the National Shrine of Mary (Our Lady La Leche)? Although the diagnosis was not what I had hoped and I will have to return, perhaps the Green Hideaway will be available again. God Bless you, Daniela. Thank you so much for your kind hospitality.
Thank you, Venus, for your review! Iâm so happy you were able to enjoy and find some peace surrounded by nature. I hope to host you again! May God bless you too đ
The check in process was a bit difficult because VRBO didnât send instructions prior to check in and the address on the VRBO listing was incorrect, but Daniela was quick to help us! We had 6 adults and one 2.5y/o. There were tons of stuffed animals for the little one, kids utensils and plates, lots of board games to play, a kiddie pool, and a slip n slide! They had extra inner tubes to take to the springs, a fire pit which we enjoyed every night, several areas to hangout, extra chairs, and a Bluetooth speaker! The kitchen had everything we needed, to cook the meals we planned, and the entire VRBO was very clean. There were a decent amount of bugs, but thatâs to be expected in any wooded area. We loved this home and will be back next time weâre in the area!
Thank you, Lynsey! I really appreciate your feedback! Iâll try to update the information on Vrbo in more detail to make it easier to access.
Hope to have you back soon!
Water bugs are a problem and kitchen necessities listed were not available. I messaged ahead of time to say we would be cooking at the house and we assured the basic kitchen necessities were available. We had to go buy Kitchen towels, dish towels, pot holders and paper towels. There was not hot water but was told to check the breaker and after heating up we did have hot water. Was a little inconvenient and disappointed having to purchase these items
Hi Pat, Iâm so sorry you had to go out and buy those things. I wish you had asked me, as I wouldâve been happy to help. There are pot holders, cleaning cloths, and dish towels availableâmaybe they just werenât easy to find. The kitchen is fully equipped with a variety of pots, plates, utensils, and even a nice selection of spices, cooking oil, sugar, salt, coffee, etc.
Iâll make sure to place these items in a more visible spot for future guests. Thanks so much for letting me know!
Iâm a native of my beloved Venezuela and have been living in Florida for 10 years, grateful to be in this beautiful country. I moved to High Springs for its nature! Iâm a bartender and love my job. I have a wonderful son, and we enjoy outdoor activities together. I love decoration, details, cleanliness, and great service. This is my home, so please enjoy and take care of it for me.
The location is simply unique! It's tucked away, where you'll only hear the sounds of wildlife. It's a place of peace and tranquility. Iâve remodeled and decorated my home with love and effort, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. You'll find everything you need here, so you won't be lacking anything. Youâll undoubtedly love this place as much as I do!
