We arrived late June and couldn't close until July 5th, so for five days during the 4th of July weekend we stayed at the Holiday Inn on Hwy 27/441 just north of Spanish Springs. Our salesman said just mention his name 'Tony Trussler' and the rate would be $79 per day instead of the usual $95, and we got the special rate. I had called all five of the main motels around TV and they were all about $90 - $95.

Even though I received my first TV DVD in 2003 and had been logging the prices of homes since 2009, when we arrived in April of this year on our LSV I couldn't believe how vast TV was. If you're driving down from Ocala on Hwy 27, when you reach Route 42 turn east until you reach Buena Vista Blvd. Turn south on Buena Vista into TV and continue south until you reach Hwy 466A, that's about a 12 mile drive and about 35 to 40 minutes. Turn left and go east three miles on 466A and then turn left north on Morse Blvd and go until you hit Hwy 27/441 and you would have traveled most of TV and had driven over an hour and about 25 miles or more.
