## Overview

Grassy Springs Farm and Retreat is the first approved farmstay in Alachua County! We offer a peaceful and pet-friendly escape in the heart of rural Alachua. Guests can choose to stay in a cozy tiny house cabin, a fully equipped camper, or bring their own RV for a quiet getaway surrounded by nature.

Traveling with horses or pets is no problem. Each site is designed with animals in mind, including fully fenced dog yards and access to 2 one-eighth-acre fenced paddocks for horses.

All types of pets are welcome, and we’ve created a space where both people and their animals can relax comfortably. Onsite water is available for animals’ basic needs, whether that’s a dog bowl or a horse trough.

This is a great place for those looking to unplug. There are no electrical hookups for the RVs, offering a true back-to-basics experience in a quiet farm setting. The open space and paddock give horses room to stretch, and the peaceful surroundings are perfect for walks, outdoor time with your dog, or just enjoying nature.

Guests can also rent out multiple sites if they’d like to gather with extended family or friends. It’s an ideal setting to connect and unwind together while still having your own space.

At night, sit by the fire and take in the stars. Our location has Class 4 Bortle skies, making it a great spot for stargazing, telescopes, or astrophotography.

Please note that horseback riding is not allowed on the property, but there are plenty of nearby trails to explore during the day. Grassy Springs is the perfect spot to relax with your animals and enjoy the simple rhythm of life on a working farm.

> We loved staying at Kristen’s camper. It was clean and welcoming. The real highlight was the fenced area for our pups. We would definitely recommend staying with her, and would stay again.

> We had a great stay. Camper is clean, water pressure is good and the host is responsive. Everything you need is there, and if you have any questions, the host is more than happy to help. We’ll be back for sure!

> I was so impressed with Kristen when I walked into the cabin, she thought of EVERYTHING and if you let them know you need something they bring it immediately, but really you lacked nothing. This is the first time I spend at a farm and I enjoyed it very much. If you are coming to this part of Florida I would definitely recommend you spend some time here I'll be back again.

> We had such a wonderful time. We had two toddlers and a dog. this was the perfect place for them to relax while we were going to my daughter’s annual doctors appt. Even the dog enjoyed it! We went about an hour to silver springs and got to see manatees and even a river otter. Five stars recommend!
