Let me first start by saying that Dan and Barbara are very hospitable and their property is really beautiful. We weren't there for long during the daylight because we spent the whole day at Crystal River, but it is very peaceful and quaint from what we saw. Well, mostly peaceful. The first night we stayed was quiet, but the second night was not. After we got back, sometime around 8 or 9, we heard some loud pops that, at first, sounded like fireworks, but when we heard them again it was clear that it was a gun - probably a semi-automatic rifle firing in succession. Every 10 to 30 minutes until about 2:15am we heard them... sometimes it was 3 shots, sometimes it was close to 10.... and it was very loud. I can only assume that it was a close neighbor to them, because of how loud it was. I don't know why they felt the need to shoot that late at night, but it kept waking me up until it finally stopped after 2am. I didn't feel unsafe necessarily, but that sound in such a close proximity is definitely enough to wake me up easily. The next morning, I texted Dan to tell him about it, and he never responded - which was a little odd. Overall, it was not a terrible stay, but it definitely could've been better if I had gotten more sleep. Maybe they should recommend that guests bring earplugs.
