Good to know

You are sure to get the "Old Florida" experience here at the Grove. Located on a healthy orange grove, next to a spring-fed canal, amongst century-old cypress trees. The "Kitschy Cottage" is situated in a traditional neighborhood setting, on East Gobbler Drive, but you will have private access through your back gate to experience and explore Wonderfield Farm and Grove to get away from it all! *Know that the cottage is not a secluded farmhouse, it is located on a traditional neighborhood street, but a few steps east will give you access to our 66-acre property that is a wilderness of natural beauty. Our property is just minutes away from some of the most famous springs in Florida, such as Crystal River Springs, Rainbow River Springs, Homosassa Springs, just to name a few! Besides spending a day snorkeling among the manatees, you can find plenty of other outdoor activities to do - canoeing, kayaking, and hiking - all right here on the property or just a drive away. There is a public boat ramp to access the Floral City Chain of Lakes just down the road (.25 miles away) if you plan on bringing a boat. You may park your boat, trailer, RV, on the property, no problem. Feel free to harvest some fruits, veggies, herbs, and of course citrus during your stay (depending on harvest season, varieties will change.) We love to share our abundance and know there are few things as good as harvesting your own food. Enjoy as breakfast, a snack, or squeeze your own orange juice! Please note, we ask for a $50 pet cleaning fee. Please leave cash in the cottage at the end of your stay or send right here through Airbnb.

Other Details to Note

The Kitschy Cottage is a bit "off the beaten path" as they like to say - nestled back in a small neighborhood with NO wifi and no TV. And to make it clear, the actual cottage is near the front of the property - you will be right off the road, next to other homes, just as in a traditional neighborhood. The seclusion takes place on the 66 acres behind the cottage, which you will have access to explore! The neighbors are very kind and helpful. You will surely experience some good ol' southern hospitality here so no need to worry about safety. Also, as the property is located on the Floral City chain of lakes, there is a chance to see alligators near the canal on the property. Be mindful, as it is Florida and although this is a common sighting to the locals, it could be very startling!

Really enjoyed staying at Kitschy Cottage with my family it was really perfect for us 4 and comfy. My kids loved staying here because there was a lot of different things to do and see. We would definitely come back again.

It was a great place to explore this area of Florida. Inverness, crystal river and all the state parks in the area were within a manageable driving distance. I would highly recommend you stay here for a low key and real Florida experience.
