My boyfriend Joe went for an early morning swim in the springs. We were camping in the park for the weekend. I took this from the jumping platform.

"I spent a few days here celebrating my birthday with some family and friends. We had an amazing time. This is a incredible location with fantastic amenities--really everything you need for a fun, relaxing river vacation.I would recommend reading the property description closely and making sure that it's a good fit for what you're planning. E.g., no parties, limit on how many cars can be on the property, and the nearest neighbors are very close by. But if you're just looking to relax and enjoy yourself, you definitely have everything you need here for that.I highly recommend doing a paddle trip from the north entrance of the Ichetucknee State Park all the way to the property's dock on the Santa Fe. It's about 4 hours and was definitely one of the highlights of our stay.The host was a great communicator and overall has created a space that you'll never want to leave. Thanks for having us!"

"Beautiful small town close to the springs and softball fields of Newberry. The home was a perfect oasis with kicking air conditioning and plenty of space for everyone. I'd definitely come again if we're in the area. "
