Don't Miss This! THE HAVEN IS NOT JUST ANOTHER RENTAL! The Haven is My Haven that is so special we love to share it with people that appreciate staying in loved places., YOU will see why it is liked by so many and with only 2 years of renting and learning we have returning guests over and over!

The Haven is Paradise in a package! You’ll love this modern 3 bedroom 2 bath home with everything you desire for your next vacation. This vacation home is loaded with all of My favorite things I desire or have desired during my vacations with girls groups, romantic get aways, groups and family time. The home is stocked with fun and love. Located just blocks and a 5 minute walk from the beautiful historic downtown of High Springs and a short drive from multiple natural springs and the Santa Fe River it’s definitely the perfect location and a steal for the money. The 3 bedrooms are all set up with comfortable queen beds, skin pleasing linen, charging stations and Ruko TV’s.. There is also a Queen Air bed in the pink room closet, and a portable crib for the wee one. Together this will sleep 9 people but to be honest the air bed is a light fit unless you really need it. The house is a comfy 1500SF.

The home is full of all the luxuries you desire in a cute and private package. You will feel your stress slide away. The master bedroom walks out onto the expansive deck and has a private toilet with a door a handicapped tiled shower and a JACCUZI TUB (including epson salt) and both full bathrooms include shampoo, conditioner, body wash.

If you must, bring your work or school with you! My Haven has high speed internet and is set up with a cute office space with a fantastic view so you can bring the family or job with you and work while you enjoy the Florida sun and fun.

You will love the fully stocked kitchen, with all the accessories you could dream of to make and serve your family a home cooked meal. The kitchen cabinets and fridge is full of spices and condiments shared to make your packing so much easier. The little town of High springs, Alachua, Gainesville and near by communities house all the well known shopping Markets and farmers markets to make amazing meals. On our huge the deck overlooking the beautiful private lawn you will find a propane grill, black-stone griddle and a wood pizza oven if you’d like a challenge. When you're ready to eat you can enjoy the elegant dining room table, belly up to the bar and patio in the 4 season porch or sit on the beautiful deck at the deck seating under the umbrellas or enjoy the Florida sun. Whether you enjoy coffee, tea, soda stream or a blender drink we got you covered! Your morning will be complete with the stocked coffee bar. Then take your hot cup of wonder out to the huge deck and sit on one of the comfortable chairs or chaise while you watch the morning sun and hear nature sounds around you, you won't believe your smack dab in the middle of this adorable little town. If you enjoy reading a book you will love our double hammock or vintage concrete picnic table in the shade. If you’re a TV lover you can enjoy a beer while you watch the news from the large screen smart Roku TV over the bar in the 4 season patio room where you can also sit to watch some Gater football. If you are here for some family time you will love the bean bags toss and ladder throw along with all the board games and puzzles for rainy days.

The beautiful picturesque and totally fenced and backyard for your 2 and 4 legged kids is also the home of a fire pit to make some yummy s’more’s or enjoy a cold drink at the end of a busy day. We do leave some wood that is cut during storm damage but you will also be able to find local sales in the town. He have obtained multiple bikes to tour the quaint town and we check and service them on our visits to our Haven but note we are not here as much as we would like so do check them over before you use them. If its air they need we have provided a pump in the porch and the service stations also have air pumps at them.

Our favorite thing to do on our visits to use the 5 kayak we have provided. There are maps on the coffee table and on line where you can access the water and all the information you will need. These can take you to many of the springs by the Rivers. We love Santa Fe and know you will too. You will need a way to secure and haul them and we only ask that you care for them and return them in the same condition, just be sure to bring your own like jackets Or cushions we do not provide them.

Although, you can cook you 5 course meal here in the Haven you are only a 5 minute walk to some wonderful patios, a ice cream parlor, coffee shop, brewery, award winning pizza and of course shopping. It's a adorable tourist town with much to offer for any taste!

The Haven is the perfect place for you divers as well with the large tables and bar to change and store your gear so when you’re not in one paradise you can relax in my paradise. High Springs has several diving stores and groups to enhance make sure you have everything you need for your next dive.

We live in Minnesota and the haven is our amazing home away from home but someday it will be our permanent home. It is completely handicapped, accessible in side and out. It is well lit, The front door and deck has a ramp the bathroom is accessible. It is also a family home for you and your 2 or 4 legged family. The yard is clean and has a 6 foot wood fence for privacy and safety but nothing is fool proof so but please watch your babies anyway.

The HAVEN is not a ordinary RENTAL. Don't be fooled. It is a Haven. You will be Happy you made the decision to stay in my home away from home. We have it ready to make your vacation the most memorable one ever. The haven has all the things you need to cook and host plus a beautiful private fenced yard, huge deck, grill, heaters, and a amazing linea We have lots of fun games, puzzles and books for family time and relaxation.

The family wedding retreat

My family and I stayed at the Haven as we had a family wedding to attend. The house was absolutely perfect, check in was super easy, communication was great when we had a few questions, and it really felt like you were at home. Especially loved sitting on the back patio in the mornings drinking my coffee ! We will definitely be back to stay again when we have a chance so we can enjoy all the outside goodies that are supplied (kayaks, bikes, the grills, and the pizza oven).

Great Location

The location near the downtown and all the restaurants and shops was awesome. The furry one really enjoyed the huge fenced back yard. I appreciated the room to store my motorcycle trailer on the side yard so I could use the driveway for parking the bike and truck.

Perfect vacation home

Two seniors with two small dogs looking to escape the Michigan winter. This home was the ideal safe place. Spotless, very comfortably furnished and a great location for walking the neighborhood or into the friendly, small town. Fun shops. Central to visit the many Springs, Gainesville or spend an afternoon at Cedar Key on the Gulf. The beautiful deck and private yard were a big plus. Hostess Mary was one of the best!

Haven of our dreams!!!

Location with everything needed for a short trip to Ginnie springs which is about a 10 minute drive away! Everyone slept very well, and a beautiful location to spend with friends or family. Big back yard and deck would be perfect to keep kids busy. EVERY OPTION available here if you came back from the springs and wanted to cook out. The host was quick to respond with any questions and was very kind! If we end up returning to the springs we would definitely pick this location again!!!!

Great Time at the Hideaway

We had a small summer send off before the beginning of school. No one could have predicted that a week before a strong storm would close all the springs in the country into the unforeseeable future. We were comfortable and happy in the house as we made the most of our quality time together. It was a comfortable, clean, stay, with room for all. The yard is spacious and the host is easy to get in touch with and approachable. I'd recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to temporarily call home away from home.

Gators vs Vols

What started out as a fun weekend stay in Florida ended in a violent “chomping” from the Gators to us Vol fans! The location and cleanliness of this house was superb for our visit, and the amenities were perfect for a group of six. We will definitely come back, and we hope for a better outcome for Tennessee!

About the host

Hosted by Mary Currier

Host profile image
Hi! My name is Mary and I'm a Registered Nurse at a small hospital in Minnesota. My husband and I bought the Haven in 2023 for our 2nd home to allow us to visit our family in Florida without being in their hair. We love to travel from our home in Minnesota to anywhere but Florida is our favorite. We still have 2 teenagers living at home so we enjoy the family time the haven offers us. We immediately fell in love with the area, house, town and beautiful nature.

We have 4 children, 2 of them grown and one son married with one new grand baby we adore. We also love our 4 legged babies and grand babies as well.

We have set up our Haven to be our home away from home with all the comforts we want and are thrilled to share it and show it off to our guests. We know you will be right at home, comfortable, safe and happy during your stay

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the small town of High Springs and looked for a place we would feel comfortable being close to everything in town yet in a quiet neighborhood. We wanted to be able to walk to all the fun spots something living in the country in Minnesota does not offer. When we found our Haven we knew immediately it was the one. The beautiful home with its huge linen, amazing deck and completely fenced yard will steal your heart as well.

What makes this property unique

Our Haven is in the perfect area on the quiet side of town in a safe neighborhood yet walking distance to almost anything you desire. The huge deck, lined and yard are hard to beat. Since this is our home away from home you will find everything you could need/ or want to enjoy your vacation. We have put 5 kayaks, multiple bicycles and tons of games, activities and books to help you relax or enjoy some family time. We also encourage you to bring your 4 legged babies to enjoy the huge fenced yard.
