REVIEWS


Guest: Michigan Snowbirds (Harbor Beach, MI)  February, 2011
The description and pictures are right-on.  The cottage was very clean and had everything needed for an enjoyable stay.  Jan was so helpful and went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable.  Be sure to read her blog as it is full of information about the area.  It is a quiet country setting  yet not far in every direction to drive to an attraction that we wanted to go to.  We recommend this property.
Recommended for: Age 55+, Pet owners, Adventure seekers, Sightseeing, Families w/ young children.

My husband, my dog and i stayed at Jan's over the Thanksgiving weekend and fully enjoyed ourselves.  the cottage had everything anyone could want: gas bbq, little wood stove, all minor appliances, fridge, stove, oven, TV's with cable and DVD player and even wifi.  Jan and her husband were warm and welcoming as was Sadie, their sweet dog.  We took our 90 lb guy walking with us in the Withlacoochee and through the old parts of town and were happy to notice that any other dogs we saw were safely kept behind fences with locked gates.  Inverness is not exactly Miami Beach but then, that's where we were escaping from.
Recommended for: Age 55+, Romantic getaway.

Guest: Jack & Liz  (Brighton, Ontario, Canada) March 1 - April 23, 2010
Wonderful holiday.  This is a great place to stay.  there are many things to do in the area.  We cycled the trails from the guesthouse, we traveled to the state parks and canoed various rivers and had the opportunity of scratching the belly of a manatee.  There is so much to do and Jan's guest House is a wonderful place to call home.  We highly recommend this accommodation.

"Spacious, inviting hide-away in a quiet, well-maintained neighborhood" is  how I would describe this perfect retreat house.  Our  hostess was unassuming and gracious with the unique ability of making one feel right at  home.  We would highly recommend Jan's Highland Guest House for your next stay in West/Central Florida, as my extended family had plenty of room, inside and out, for fixing meals, playing games, and exercise.  thank you, Jan, for a wonderful week in sunny FLORIDA!

Guest: Katydid (Ypsilanti, MI)  August 2 - March 22, 2011
If you prefer peace and quiet while still having access to internet, tv, etc. this is a wonderful spot out of town but within minutes of anything you need.  Our children came to visit and I prepared a delicious meal w/ all the dinnerware, pans etc. necessary to do that.  We so fell in love w/ the shower head that we bought 2 of them for our new home in Inverness.  Yes, this stay helped us decide to spend the rest of our years in this small city that is more relaxed, like the small town atmosphere we're used to.  We made several trips to neighboring places, the best being Rainbow River park which is beautiful and we had dinner on the bay in Crystal River which is a short drive. the owner of this property is always available for any questions that arise, but otherwise one would never know she's there.  Sitting out on the covered back porch (yes, in August, folks) for coffee in the morning and watching for critters in the evening is one of our nicest memories.  Traffic is almost non-existent and one can go for walks and feel safe.  Give Jan a call and book your vacation at this off-the-beaten-track, roomy and totally equipped "paradise".  and if you are into the attractions you are only an hour and a half away from Orlando or our favorite, Busch Gardens in Tampa where  you would pay much more for much less.

Trout House: a previously owned vacation rental

Guest: Tom & Marcia (Des Moines, Iowa) December 25 - January 1, 2011
We have very much enjoyed our stay this week at the Trout House.  It is a cute cottage/house and very comfortable.  We enjoyed relaxing on the patio and our little Scottie loved the back yard.  We had fun exploring the neighborhood and found the bike path where we took our morning walks.  We found the people in Inverness to be very friendly and we have really enjoyed the town.

Guest: Sid & Mary (Cortland, Ohio) january 14 - February 14, 2011
It was comfortable and cute and Jan was always available to answer questions from smoke alarms to hair dressers.  That helps a lot when you are a stranger to an area.  We would have loved some of the warm temperatures that are forecast for next week but all we had to do was check the weather channel for Ohio and immediately we felt warmer.  We accomplished our goal of visiting family and having time and space for ourselves.  Thanks for making it our home away from home.

Guest: Bill & Barbara (Dalton, MA) February 22 - March 31, 2011
Location! Location!  this clean, charming, older home is in a perfect location to walk to everything.  I loved the short walks to town, to our favorite restaurants, cute shops, my hair dresser and town events.  Also was able to walk to the drug store, do groomer, post office and little gym.  I love having the bikes available to ride the bike trail even though we walked it with Miss Ruby more than ride it.  Ruby loved the freedom of the fenced in yard as much as we loved the convenience of just opening the door.  When we weren't on the golf course, we really enjoyed spending time on the patio or just a lazy day in the yard.  the house is a warm, comfortable, inviting place that stays cool in the very warm temps.  Jan and Nancy thought of everything, from soup to nuts to sun chairs to twinkle lights.  the kitchen is well stocked and we  had plenty of sheets and towels.  Plus, we love all your little touches.  We had a great six weeks, couldn't ask for better weather.  thanks for everything. . . being there when we needed something and we really enjoyed having your company for dinner.
