Just Lovely
There were six of us (three couples; one with an infant). We all had plenty of space, as much or little activity as we wanted and beautiful surroundings. This place is so well-maintained and your every need has been anticipated. There was plenty of everything - from towels to spices. The cookware was just as good as my cookware at home, which is not the case for many VRBO's! We all had a wonderful time. Captain Cas took us all on an affordable and perfect boat ride up the Suwannee. We were able to get out and snorkel a little. He was extremely accommodating to us with the baby aboard yet was cautious and careful. This was totally worth the price! We hope to stay again!

Riverview
The cabin was great, the weather wasn't. Unfortunately we had rain the whole time we were there si we didn't really get to enjoy the area, but the house was great. Beds were comfy and the view of the river was fantastic. We'll return maybe in the spring or fall.

Peace and quiet
We were amazed at how quiet it was. Also shocked at how well both places were stocked. From kitchen ware, gadgets, games, spices, towels, blankets. The list goes on. Everything needed in case you forgot something. House was extremely clean and super comfortable.

Pleasantly pleased
We enjoyer our stay very much. The steps were in need of some repair but overall very nice. Fishing during the day was terrible because of the boat traffic though. Plenty of space for everyone and seemed to have everything we needed. I do not like technology so the covection stove was terrible for me. The house is 40 minutes from a large grocery store so pack accordingly. We had to be modest with the hot water. There were 8 of us so we all couldn't take showers back to back. Cleaning supplies were plentiful so being tidy wasnt a chore. I believed we booked the right house for the vacation we planned in the long run. Owners were very friendly!

Perfect!! 5 Stars Plus!
Beautiful, spotless house perfect for our 3 couples trip. The early risers were able to stay downstairs & make coffee without waking the rest of the house. The kitchen had plenty of room for multiple cooks and was stocked with everything we could have wanted and then some. Bob & BJ next door were extremely helpful with restaurant and boating and fishing information. Captain Cas was very quick to get back to me with my multiple questions. If you bring your boat, be sure to go to Ichetucknee River. Crystal clear water, one of the prettiest places I've ever seen in Florida. When we weren't out boating we spent our time on the screen porch or on the deck overlooking the river. Fantastic place to stay!
