The location was absolutely beautiful, surrounded by stunning views that made for a perfect getaway. The property was impeccably clean, with every detail taken care of, ensuring a comfortable stay. Additionally, the host was incredibly accommodating, always available to answer questions and make sure everything went smoothly. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to relax and enjoy a lovely retreat!

The property was great! It was clean and well stocked for cooking. The mattress in the main bedroom was nice too. We woke up feeling well rested every morning! The back porch, overlooking the Santa Fe River, was beautiful! Host was very helpful and made sure we were informed of pertinent details. We enjoyed our stay and plan to return in the future!

What a beautiful place to call home for a few days. We had a wonderful stay here. The house is beautiful!!! Updated and gorgeous. It was very clean, bed were comfy and clean, kitchen was well stocked. Loved sitting on the porch watching the river go by! We loved taking the kayaks out on the river and took the floats to some nearby springs. The host, Mark, was very responsive and wonderful to work with. We will definitely be back!!

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.

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.
