River Cottage

Amazing cottage on the river - literally hanging over the river. Super clean and very well decorated. Bed is extremely comfortable. Awesome place to spend time.

Never again

The family obviously use this property on a regular basis.as the closet and drawers contained all their personal items and the food and freezermuliple scented candles and plug in scents on every room contained their food. We felt like intruders rather than guests. We stayed only one night although we paid for two. It’s definitely not a place to stay if you have allergies as there were

Beautiful and Relaxing

We had to evacuate Clearwater for Hurricane Milton. Somehow this wonderful gem fell into our hands. We were having a hard time finding a pet friendly place to evacuate with our golden retriever. The house was amazing. The view on the river is what we needed to keep our anxiety down worrying about our home. The house had everything we needed. Dawn answered all my 20 plus emails immediately and was so kind. Thank you for providing the peace of mind we needed while we evacuated from the hurricane. Can't wait to come back and enjoy at another less stressful time

Life on the river

A truly amazing stay. Saw lots of wildlife on the river, and had a really great time grilling and sipping coffee on on the deck. Would love to stay here again.

LOVE this river cabin!!

This property and cabin is directly on a beautiful little river. I spent most of the time there on the back porch, overlooking the water, and enjoying the peaceful and beautiful scenery, watching the squirrels, and listening to the birds and owls. It was easy to locate. The home and property could not have been any cleaner or accommodating !! It was very comfortable and cozy, compared to generic feels of hotels and other rentals. The one bedroom, bathroom, hallway, and open plan kitchen/dining/great room - exactly like in the photos - are nicely large with lots of natural lighting, and seating. We went up to the gorgeous Jackson Blue Hole spring in Marianna, and also kayaked Ecofina Creek - full of beautiful springs and clear water for almost 7 miles. Both places are around 30 minutes or so from this place. We would stay again and again !!
