We had our little family reunion here and for the price this place was the best! It's an older home of course so keep that in mind but we loved that about it. Beautiful views, although when we stayed in Nov. 2025 the water level was terribly low, they actually had a burn ban in place which was a bit of a bummer to not be able to use the firepit but we went out and purchased a propane firepit and all was good in the world! Will likely come back again for another reunion.

We had a great time kayaking the local springs. We loved coming home every evening to this spacious home on the Suwannee River. The 6-bedroom house was clean with a well-equipped kitchen, large bedrooms, and comfortable beds. The wraparound porch offers beautiful views for enjoying our morning coffee. Our host quickly answered any questions we had. Our kayaking group would be glad to stay here again.

This property offers a beautiful view, peaceful atmosphere and plenty of room to spread out. The house was charming, clean and well outfitted for a rental property. I highly recommend relaxing with a coffee on the porch and watching the river go by.

Amazing house on Suwannee River

We had a great family getaway at this beautiful house right on the Suwannee river, lots To do in the area, enjoying the springs nearby. Plenty of room for a large group(12). Loved fishing off the dock and keeping warm around the fire pit. Very please with owner communication when we had any questions. Thanks for the stay.

The property was absolutely stunning. It was a perfect fit for our big family. I would certainly give this property an excellent review. There should be a little bit more seating in the living room area if you have a big family. The house is located on the river so there are many steps steps to get into the house and steps of course to get to the second floor so if you have any issues with hips, feet, etc. be prepared it may take you a little bit longer to get in and out. Overall it was clean, accommodating with a beautiful view. We will definitely be back.

Southern Retreat

From the moment you pull in the driveway you’re transported back to old southern Florida (with all the modern amenities). The house is reminiscent of an old plantation with wrap around porches to sit with your favorite beverage, watch the river & listen to the choir of frogs, insects & birds sing their melodies. All the rooms were large, well appointed & clean. Every guest stated their beds were very comfy too. Our host was excellent with communication & very accommodating to our needs. We stayed here so we could go tubing at Ichetuckney Springs & there are other springs located nearby. I would definitely stay here again!

Absolutely stunning!

The property looked too good to be true, but in this case it was everything that was promised and more! The house is gorgeous and the furnishings were lovely. To say this house was HUGE would be doing a disservice. Even with 12 of us there we never felt cramped. The biggest bedrooms I've seen and the setting is very quiet and secluded. Perfect for a family and/or friends get together. Kindall and Zach were very responsive to all communication. Our big family hopes to return in the future.

Springs Trip

Great location on river with amazing views. The house was huge and all bedrooms very spacious which made for a comfortable stay for all. 25 min drive to Ichetucknee SP. Only complaint is the house is big enough for 16 people if you use all the bed space, but the main living area only has one couch and 1 chair. Needs more seating for large groups to be able to hang in same area in the evening. In the cooler months it wouldn’t be an issue, but the extreme heat wave kept us in the AC quite a bit. My bad for booking in Aug. Lol.
