Cute cottage

Our family of 4 stayed for 4 nights. The space was perfect for our needs. We enjoyed walking around, petting the horses and giving them apples. We are looking forward to watching some of the training on our next stay!

Did the trick!

We only stayed 1 night but it worked out great. Nice, clean, cozy place. The property is beautiful and the best part is being able to walk the property, greet and pet all the horses. It was perfect for getting us to DeLeon Springs and the Sugar Mill Pancake House the next morning. I don’t know that we will ever be back to this area but if so we will definitely look to stay here again.

We race!

My husband, son and daughter in law stayed here for proximity to Daytona for the races. Overall the property was great. The ceiling is on the low side, so very tall people would not be well accommodated.

Perfect place for a getaway

My husband and I stayed here for the first night of our Florida adventure. Absolutely beautiful and peaceful. Everyone working with the horses were super nice and we were allowed to watch some of the training. We went for an evening walk and got to see & pat several horses in the pastures. Beautiful horse facility and great cottage

nice place

The property was perfectly situated for our needs. The only thing I would say is that while the place has AC it's not central air and the bedroom was a little warm as the AC didn't travel well into the bedroom. But it was super quite, very convenient for where we were going and renting from them was super easy. If we go back to this area again I will rent from them again

Great stay in DeLand!

Charming cottage on beautiful horse farm. Farm is expansive and travelers are encouraged to explore the grounds and interact with horses. Nice place to return to after visiting the greater Daytona/Volusia County area. I would give the property a “1”0 rating, but would give VRBO a “ 2” because of their poor handling of my search for a property.

Beautiful Accomodations

The property exceeded our expectations! Loved strolling around the property and enjoyed visiting with the horses. Beautiful equine facility. Our little cottage provided all we needed for our short stay, clean and nicely decorated. We enjoyed sitting out on the little patio area in the evening and listening to all the Florida night sounds.
