A Great Place To Stay
The home is 1.3 miles from the Withlacoochee rail trail. The Withlacoochee Trail is a 46 mile trail with Inverness in the middle of it. You can ride north to Dunnellon or south. If going south you take the Good Neighbor Trail south of Lake Townsend and go to Brooksville. There are trailheads approximately every 6-7 miles. There are reminders of the historic railroad activity which include concrete mileage markers to Richmond, VA and concrete whistle markers a quarter mile before crossings. The trail corridor provides various habitats including mixed hardwood forest, sandhill, and wetlands that are important for wildlife and native plants. The trail is well maintained.
There are a variety of fruit trees on the property. this year's crop was weak, but there are many blossoms on the trees so next year might be better. We did get a few pieces of fruit during our stay.
The home has a large screened in porch to observe the wildlife, watch activities on the lake, spend a warm afternoon, or enjoy your morning coffee. You will see wildlife in the backyard on a regular basis, and you can fish from the dock. Catch a fish for the blue heron and you will have a friend for life.
Joanne, the proprietor, makes sure your stay will be effortless and carefree. We had no problems, but I'm sure she would have been very accommodating had a problem arose. The wi fi was running at 350+mbps for excellent streaming.
Inverness has some traffic but it is nothing like the golf coast.
