Riverside Retreat is a great get-a-way

We spent 4 nights and loved it. Some of us came by boat and found easy docking on the bulkhead (canal & bulkhead were just as described.) There was plenty of room for two boats. It was a short, easy run to Silver Glen and dinner at Drifter's waterfront. There was plenty of room in the driveway for those that drove. There was lots of room for the four kiddos and full kings in the master and guest BRs. The place was clean and well cared for. The host was very responsive to texts/questions. Overall, we really enjoyed it - it was a great get-a-way and we will come back.

Fishing Fun in the Sun

We loved the house. The fishing dock was amazing. Sooo much space. We were able to have 3-4 fishing rods in the water at the same time. We loved the local restaurants (Castaways, Drifters, etc). Good times!!

National Forest/springs getaway

This is the perfect place for a nice, peaceful getaway. We had a blast visiting the springs by day and hanging out on the deck overlooking the canal in the evening. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet and house was clean and comfortable! Jan (the owner) was friendly and quick to respond to any questions that I had. This is the perfect location if you want to explore the springs in Ocala National Forest! I hope to visit again next year!

Perfect for the springs

Every other year my family plans a trip to the Ocala National Forest to hit the springs. This home was perfectly located for us to visit Silver Glen, Salt, and Alexander. The home gave us ample space for 7 adults, cooking, laundry, and game night. Loved it!

Lovely home!

Our family has traveled often and this was the cleanest property we have ever stayed in. The home was well layed out and was spacious enough for all of us. The location on the river was lovely and quiet. The hosts, Jan and Ardie were responsive before and during our stay and greeted us when we arrived. We will return as soon as we can!

Family Spring Break

The property was amazing. Great location. Restaurant's right down the road and a little grocery market right across the main road. Short drive to Daytona and the springs. Fishing was great off the dock when the weather would cooperate. Boat ramp was a short distance on water. Will definitely be back

We travel a good bit and have stayed in many places, but this was as clean, well stocked and prepared place we have ever stayed. The guest contacts were great hosts. The microwave went out and they literally responded in 5 minutes and showed up at the door with a new microwave in no time. We would definitely stay here again.

Absolute Perfection

My wife and I have done a significant amount of traveling, both domestic and internationally. This residence was by far the cleanest and best maintained place we’ve ever experienced. It’s a great location, within driving distance to many attractions. The property manager, Ardie, was so helpful and checked in to be sure everything was OK. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a relaxing vacation.

The property was well equipped with everything we needed. Well stocked kitchen. Also used grill. Nice having a covered boat slip. Boys enjoyed fishing offdock. Jan the property manager checked in on us, first day we were staying and lives near by so easy to reach. Saw manatee’s, alligators, and birds as we cruised the river. Had a nice time.
