This was the perfect little waterfront cottage for our family of 4! It’s located on a peaceful canal, away from busy boat traffic, but only about a 10 minute paddle from the most beautiful part of the main river. The kitchen is gorgeous and has everything you could need. The bedrooms were comfortable and bathrooms were spotless. The backyard was incredible and is where we spent most of our time when we weren’t kayaking. The hostess, Mary, left a sweet welcome note with a basket of goodies and helpful info about nearby stores, activities, and urgent care/hospitals. We can’t wait to go back!

The home is clean and updated even more than it looks in the pictures. It was very comfortable for my family of four. You can stay there the whole time or there's restaurants and shopping close. The first day there we kayaked down to the river and found manatees right away. It was pretty awesome.

The house was very clean and had a fully stocked kitchen. The first morning a manatee swam right by and there is a friendly otter that was spotted several times. The only thing we did not think about was when the tide goes out it is too low to get the kayaks into it. Other than that we would definitely stay again. Beautiful location and the hot tub was great. Thank you.

Great stay at the river

My family and I had a great stay at the house on the Weeki Wachee River. We enjoyed using the canoes to go up the river toward the springs. Side note: take a right if you are trying to get to the river - we went the wrong way the first time! But we had a great adventure and I loved showing my girls the beauty of old Florida - as well as the mermaids!

A must stay …rated highly for a reason

We loved that it was secluded and had so much onsite to do. Kayaking, hot tub, fire pit, games, fishing poles, and all the essentials needed for your stay. The sandy back yard was perfect for our infant. We really enjoyed it as did our teenage son who loved taking the kayaks out. It’s not too far of a paddle to beautiful water. Water was a bit low when we stayed but so nice still. We would stay again!
