A very comfortable recently remodeled home alongside a sparkling clear river. Unseasonable cool, wet weather kept us from venturing out on the river but we appreciated the kayaks were available for our use. A very tranquil setting.

Totally awesome

This place was awesome. The view, the cleanliness and the location. We were 11 minutes from Ginnie Springs, 8 mins from Fort White and 15 mins from High Springs. This is great for couples that want to get away from the city life for awhile. Will totally recommend to someone else about this place.

Lovely stay!

We were looking for something on the Santa Fe River that was close to the Springs outside of Gainesville. We looked at dozens of options and ended up selecting this lovely place!Cleanliness:Extremely clean. I was impressed with how clean and cared for the property was. It was spotless. The cleanest rental I’ve ever stayed in. Amenities:The house was fully stocked. Kitchen had plenty of spices and condiments. All the cooking pots/pans and utensils you’ll need. The convection oven was really useful! Reheated our pizza to perfection. The only thing I’d add is a blender!The Kayaks were great, well kept. I took one on the river and had a great time. They have all the towels both bath and beach that you’ll need. The washer and dryer work great. The HUGE TV in the living room was awesome to watch the NCAA tourney on! My son enjoyed watching his shows on it as well.There are some toys in the TV cabinet that my son loved too. Nice touch. Really helps when we need an additional distraction on rainy days.Location: You’re right on the river and it’s beautiful. The view is great, from inside too! The deck is a nice spot to relax. It’s really close to all the springs in the area and a short drive to anything you might need in the neighboring towns. Communication:Mark was super responsive and friendly, even with my unusual amount of questions on this trip. We felt well cared for. Don’t hesitate to book!

Best rental on the river!

My partner and I loved our stay. The location is perfect and the house is well appointed with everything you might need. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook all of our meals. It was incredibly comfortable and relaxing, as well as really beautiful. The space itself is well decorated and feels very welcoming and clean. The beds are incredibly comfortable. The porch is absolutely spectacular, with the views of the river. We spent a lot of time on the deck overlooking the river. The gas fire pit was amazing at night, along with the tiki torches. It was the most perfect romantic getaway, and the most amazing place to be home-base for our kayaking adventures. I highly recommend booking a pick up from Rum 138 to somewhere up river. We really enjoyed being picked up in the morning and kayaking all the way back to the house by late afternoon. Being able to kayak 10 1/2 miles back to our rental house was really nice. Not having to worry about packing gear into the car and heading home or back to a hotel after a long day of kayaking was invaluableWe look forward to coming back. It’s really the perfect place. If you’re looking to do any kind of kayaking on the Santa Fe, Ichetucknee, and Suwanee rivers. Mark was an amazing host and was so helpful and responsive. Seriously, I just booked this place. You will not regret it.

Beautiful property overall

I was a little disappointed at the cut pieces of plywood all over the place, a trailer with insulation under the home, and screws on the ground. Inside the home was beautiful, but looked like it was still being renovated. There was a outlet with tape over it, but no outlet cover. Which is frustrating since we had a toddler staying there and there was a hole that they could stick their fingers in. I ended up adding an outlet cover myself because of it being wide open. Also in the listing pictures the bathroom looked great, but upon arrival there were two open breaker boxes with no cover for either breaker panel. Also there was a recently installed water heater in the wall of the bathroom, which had exposed spray foam and drywall and cords for the water heater. Again, it was a beautiful property, but I feel like some of the images were misleading and didn't show that it was unfinished on purpose.

Great House for Family of 3-4 Near Springs and River

The house is a great spot to spend time on the river and nearby springs. There are several great springs within 15-20 minutes. The house is very well done and well equipped and you can swim off the small dock on the river. My family had a great time and we hope to stay here again when back in the area.
