Housing in High Springs area?

[LCF]

A friend and I will be joining a third for a cave class there in August. I know that somewhere there is a thread about High Springs housing, but I can't remember which board it's on, and would like some more specific recommendations anyway. What I'd like to find is someplace all three of us can stay, with some food storage or even a kitchen, and with laundry facilities. (I've learned the hard way that access to a dryer can be critical on a cave diving trip ) I understand there are some houses in the area that are rented to cave divers -- anybody have any specific place they like, or information about rates?

Thanks for the assistance.

There are several rental houses listed in the forum "Travel Advisor."

Thanks, but I'd really like to get a recommendation from someone who has stayed someplace and liked it.

I have stayed at Anita Berman's place... Diverscottage.com It has been a couple of years, and I can't seem to get the link to work but it was nice. Convenient to the caves from Peacock to Ginnie. Full kitchen, laundry, ample sleeping accommodations.

I have also stayed at Chateau H2O. Michaelangelo's place, more convenient to Ginnie. Full kitchen, laundry.

Either of these two I can personally vouch for. There are other places that look good as well, but I have not stayed there.

Thanks, Mark! I have written to Michael.

I have a new place in Ft. White that is just 5 mins. from Amigos and just a few minutes from High Springs. The home is only 3 years old and has wireless internet, Sat. TV, barbeque, gourmet kitchen, etc. etc.

Check it out! I think you will find that it is very nice, convenient and priced right!

My buddy and I stayed at the Garage Apt which is owned by the same people as Cave East. Very comfortable and no complaints. I believe you can arrange rental through Cave East

Randy, I looked at your website and your place looks lovely, but it's booked the same week we are coming (the 8th through the 16th) as is Michael Angelo's cottage. Is there something going on in cave country that week that we didn't know about when we scheduled our class?

you can also check caveexcursions.com they have rental trailers, and there is a washer and dryer at cave excursions for divers to use. they are all by Peacock Springs, so depending on who your instructor is, and cave conditions, you may check it out. They are about 45 minutes from Ginnie.

Don't know about anything special going on. We have a large group coming out together from Utah to dive, but I'm surprised there will be that many people headed to Florida at the hottest part of the summer!
