About this property

Guesthouse - no cleaning fee! Studio cottage in the woods

Nestled on a quiet “no thru traffic” street, this adorable cottage is on a rural 3-acre property, located down a bumpy dirt driveway back in a wooded setting. We also live on the property and our home is very close to the guesthouse. Please see photo I have included to show how close the homes are to each other.

We offer:
• a full kitchen (no microwave or dishwasher)
• full bathroom
• queen-sized memory foam mattress
• 2 memory foam pillows
• stackable washer/dryer
• a 43” television with a Roku (see more info below) and basic channels.
Wake up to sounds of nature, not your alarm clock. In the mornings, you will be greeted by a forest full of singing birds. We have seen cardinals, finches, hummingbirds, blue jays, and woodpeckers.

We are:
12 minutes from downtown Havana.
20 minutes from the Tallahassee Farmer’s Market.
24 minutes from I-10.
30 minutes from Thomasville, GA.
33 minutes from Tallahassee Memorial Hospital.
34 minutes from Tallahassee Airport.
35 minutes from FSU.
38 minutes from FAMU.

Please note that the cottage is studio-style. There is no wall separation between bed, living area, and kitchen.

Things to know:
The cottage is very close to our home. We take your privacy seriously and allow you to control how much interaction occurs after the key is provided to you. We want you to be comfortable!

There is a Roku available that you can log into with your passwords.

We recommend bringing sturdy shoes to wear and bug spray if you plan to spend time outside. We are located in a wooded setting and the ground is uneven with lots of tree roots. Some days you don’t need bug spray, and others you do.

For the safety of our guests, their children and their pets, we do not use insecticidal pesticides inside the cottage. I normally mop with Pinesol between guests. If you are sensitive to smells, please let me know in your booking message and I will use a product w/o fragrance.

House Rules:

Initial check-in is from 3:00 pm - 11:00 pm. Maximum stay is limited to 15 nights.

No smoking, e-cigs, or vaping permitted in the cottage or on the property.

Animals must be declared and paid for when you book the cottage. 2 maximum. Dogs must be leashed at all times when outside the cottage. No pit bulls/pit mixes.

Before you book: we are approximately 15 minutes from the closest grocery store. Recommend picking up grocery items on your way in if you are simply staying one night and have had a long day of travel. We provide k-cup coffee, tea and excellent filtered well water. Most of the time we also provide fresh chicken eggs, but chickens lay seasonally and eggs are not always available (feel free to message me prior to booking to confirm egg availability!).

Great little cottage!

My daughters and I stayed 4 days at the Cottage. It was very nice and relaxing. They had everything that we needed, and even left some fresh eggs from their chickens in the refrigerator for us. It was very enjoyable and we will definitely stay again whenever we’re in the area.

Piece and quiet.

Nice to get away from it all sometimes. Lots of different birds to see and other animals. Far enough from it all but not to far with lots of restaurants and fishing not far away.

Sweet and Memorable

Lindsey made us feel so welcomed, and the floral bouquet, the fresh eggs, along with the herbs, made us feel so very welcomed. The bed was just right for sleeping. Our stay gave us memories to cherish.

Exactly as advertised

Great communication, clean, and quiet. Rural setting 30 minutes north of Talahassee was perfect for our weekend visit.

Relaxing Visit

Lindsey and her husband Elliott were great hosts. The location was close enough for us to go canoeing one day near Monticello, yet spend the next day in Tallahassee, and our third day antiquing in Quincy and downtown Havana, Florida. Lindsey was even able to suggest a nearby ice cream shop, which was a great way to splurge after our busy days. The location offers privacy and peace and quiet, both of which were greatly appreciated after busy days exploring.

Hidden gem

I stumbled upon this rental peoperty at the last minute as we were planning on coming to FSU for family weekend. While it is not within walking distance to campus (35 to 40 min drive), it was quiet and perfect for our weekend stay. We really enjoyed our stay and Lindsey has been an amazing host waiting for us upon our arrival.

Cozy Inn

Can't say enough good things about this little gem. This tiny home is nestled away in a quiet, wooded neighborhood. I was there for 2 weeks and it provided all the necessities of home. Elliot and Lindsey made sure I had everything I needed. Highly recommended !!!

Lindsey could not have been more welcoming and easy to communicate with. We were greeted by chickens and beautiful flowers in the cottage, plus fresh eggs! I highly recommend this listing.
