Cozy, comfortable and the perfect restful location for a sisters’ getaway. Loved sitting on the porch watching the fish jump and simply relaxing. The beds were comfortable and the decor was cute and we loved everything about it. Access to a plethora of activities in the area if you want to see old Florida and enjoy small town charm!

Everything we hoped it would be for our 39th anniversary. From the "dumb waiter lift" that helped us bring our luggage, etc upstairs, to the convenient seafood restaurant at the end of the street, and the great tranquil boat ride on the Suwannee River...we loved everything about your beautiful place! Thank you for sharing your awesome property. Would very much like to revisit! :-)

Lots of fun! Brought the boat, zipped up and down the Suwannee, saw manatees, relaxed at Fanning Springs, caught lots of bream in the main river, dinner at Roy’s in Steinhatchee, dessert at Legends, and tubed down the Ichetucknee on the way out. Great stay!

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT

Everything about this place was wonderful! From the communication with the host, if you like outdoors kayaking in nature it's the place for you! The property itself inside was immaculately clean furnished very nicely and had everything that you could possibly need to accommodate your stay on the Suwannee River. Laura The Host was absolutely wonderful, she let us get in a day early and offered us suggestions on where to eat and where to go. If you ever stay in the area it's the perfect place for a small family. We will be staying there on all of our trips into town.!!
