Attached to Our Home, But Private for Guests
Hidden Gem is attached to our personal home, but guests have a separate private entrance and their own self-contained space. You are not sharing the guest suite, kitchen, or bathroom with us.
This setup works well for guests who like the reassurance of a local host nearby while still wanting their own private accommodations.
Mini-Farm & Garden Setting
Hidden Gem is on the same mini-farm property as Suite Escape. You may see our farm animals and seasonal garden areas during your stay, which gives the property a quieter, more rural feel than a typical hotel or subdivision stay.
Closer farm visits or interaction with the animals can be arranged by request when available.
Pet-Friendly Stay Near The Villages
Hidden Gem is pet-friendly for approved pets. Unlike Cozy Corner Apartment, this rental does not have its own private fenced yard, so it is best for pet travelers who are comfortable taking their dog outside on leash.
Check the current Airbnb listing for pet details and any applicable pet fees.
Parking — Including Boats, Trailers & Larger Vehicles
Hidden Gem has regular guest parking. If you are arriving with a boat, trailer, U-Haul, large truck, or another oversized vehicle, the half-circle driveway at the front of the property may also be available.
Please message ahead when possible so we can make sure the parking arrangement works for your setup.
