The house was perfect for hosting a birthday party. The weather was not great and we were able to spread out in the house and enjoy the day. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were comfortable, and the space was pet friendly.

We had our little family reunion here and for the price this place was the best! It's an older home of course so keep that in mind but we loved that about it. Beautiful views, although when we stayed in Nov. 2025 the water level was terribly low, they actually had a burn ban in place which was a bit of a bummer to not be able to use the firepit but we went out and purchased a propane firepit and all was good in the world! Will likely come back again for another reunion.

We had a great time kayaking the local springs. We loved coming home every evening to this spacious home on the Suwannee River. The 6-bedroom house was clean with a well-equipped kitchen, large bedrooms, and comfortable beds. The wraparound porch offers beautiful views for enjoying our morning coffee. Our host quickly answered any questions we had. Our kayaking group would be glad to stay here again.

The property was absolutely stunning. It was a perfect fit for our big family. I would certainly give this property an excellent review. There should be a little bit more seating in the living room area if you have a big family. The house is located on the river so there are many steps steps to get into the house and steps of course to get to the second floor so if you have any issues with hips, feet, etc. be prepared it may take you a little bit longer to get in and out. Overall it was clean, accommodating with a beautiful view. We will definitely be back.

Family Christmas Gathering

We chose this spot for a Family Christmas celebration based on it’s distance from multiple households (coming from FL & GA). It was perfect for large families to spend quality time together, but also so much space that it provided lots of privacy too. All of the rooms were of generous size- especially the upstairs master! The wrap around porches on both levels were great! Nice to be able to walk out from the master & see everyone by the fire pit or the river down below. It is pretty much in the middle of nowhere, which is exactly what we were looking for. The property is large with lots of cool trees and areas to explore and we enjoyed the fire pits on cold nights. The host went out of the way to decorate when we asked about Christmas decorations & we sincerely appreciated that. The dining area & table was large enough to accommodate everyone comfortably. The kitchen could use some better/additional pots, pans, utensils & coffee pot. The water smelled bad/‘eggy’ in the kitchen, but worse in the master bath.I could list lots of little wonky things around the house, but overall it kind of just added to it’s charm. Don’t go expecting luxury, but it is comfortable, clean, reasonably stocked & in a great secluded location! Thank you & Merry Christmas!

Great family gathering location

This property offers a beautiful view, peaceful atmosphere and plenty of room to spread out. The house was charming, clean and well outfitted for a rental property. I highly recommend relaxing with a coffee on the porch and watching the river go by.

Husband’s 50th Birthday

This was an amazing home on a wonderful piece of property. The trip was for my husband’s 50th and friends family were coming from out of state and Fl. There was plenty of room to accommodate everyone. The bedrooms were all good sized and plenty of bathrooms. I was impressed with how clean the house was. We spent most noontime on the beautiful wraparound porch off the main floor. There was an identical porch on the 2nd floor. The lot had room for the kids to run and play. The view of the river was fabulous. The hosts were beyond amazing! They were responsive and accommodating. We were there when Hurricane Debby was coming through and they were kind enough to allow us to check out later if needed. We were checking out the morning the storm made landfall. I would definitely rent this home again!! All of my guests agreed this was a great place to relax and unwind. I have rented many vacation homes and this one I actually spent the majority of my trip at the house and not out. Loved every minute there!!

Large, secluded home on the river

This home is a large home with spacious rooms on a beautiful and rustic wooded property on the Suwannee River. We had a large family gathering with 6 individuals/families, so the 6 bedrooms were perfect. The host was very responsive and friendly. The only disappointment was that I requested use of the elevator because I had surgery on my foot and was going to be non-weight-bearing during our stay. I found out while we were driving there that the elevator company hadn't been out to reset the elevator and it wouldn't be available, so I ended up having to scoot backwards up the wooden stairs in the rain on my behind, and then scoot back down when I left. It rained a lot during our stay, so every time I went out or in I got really wet and dirty. The hosts were very apologetic and offered compensation, but as the situation seemed out of their control we declined. But if you need the use of the elevator, check before your visit to make sure it's in good working order. All in all, we enjoyed the house and would definitely visit again if we're back in the area.

Springs Trip

Great location on river with amazing views. The house was huge and all bedrooms very spacious which made for a comfortable stay for all. 25 min drive to Ichetucknee SP. Only complaint is the house is big enough for 16 people if you use all the bed space, but the main living area only has one couch and 1 chair. Needs more seating for large groups to be able to hang in same area in the evening. In the cooler months it wouldn’t be an issue, but the extreme heat wave kept us in the AC quite a bit. My bad for booking in Aug. Lol.

Suwannee Recap

The plantation style home was tastefully furnished & decor was also in good taste. It would have been nice to have use of the elevator for the older folks & moving belongings in and out of the house. The kitchen wasn't adequately equipped with enough pots, pans, and utensils. Having paper goods in the hall closet was definitely appreciated. We did however, make a trip into town for aluminum foil & saran wrap. The person limitation on the dock was a disappointment as was having a nice fire area with no wood to burn. This also necessitated a trip into town. Thank you for the opportunity to leave this review.
