Moondrift Guesthouse - Secluded and Relaxing

On 5 beautiful country acres, our guesthouse is perfect for peaceful relaxation. Grab a cup of coffee and head to the patio to catch up on that book you have been meaning to get too, or take a dip in the hot tub to give your aching muscles a rest. In the evening, cozy up outside and catch the breathtaking views of the moon and stars. After a memory-filled evening, snuggle up in our cozy bed and stream your favorites on the Smart TV! Great space for those looking to re-connect with nature.
Guest access
Please note: The main home on the property is not for guest access. This listing is for the guesthouse only. Guesthouse is on 5 acres and is separated from the owner-occupied main residence by a covered area where you can relax to enjoy views of the farm.

We look forward to hosting you at our farm and
ask all our guests to confirm they are good with dogs since they roam freely on the farm.

Guests are also welcome to use the hammock! Get cozy and enjoy an afternoon nap in the FL sun!

Perfect for healing!
Booked the property for my dad who was in a bad car accident. He is local but had a lot of family staying at his house including 6 kids & needed a quiet place to rest and recover. The Moondrift Guesthouse was PERFECT!! The owners, Lisa & Joy are so warm an inviting! I’m so glad we live locally and will be able to keep in touch! My dad needed to heal in many ways, his time here helped get that process started. He was able to rest and relax, enjoy the peace and quiet of the country, enjoy the warmth and compassion of the hosts. It was easy access, secure drive, safe area. The home was clean and had all of the basic necessities! Would highly, HIGHLY recommend for anyone seeking a quiet place to rest and relax!

Very good experience
Just like the property said. Very nice location as we were there for NHRA racing. Easy check in/out, very clean house. Lisa and pups were very friendly and enjoyed the time that we had to visit a little. More enjoyable than a hotel, would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone traveling in that area.

Perfect get away to freshwater Florida.
We stayed here for the springs in the area. It is nicely off the beaten path, but fun and food are close by.
