We are both retired, enjoying our little piece of heaven, and hosting River Rise Cottage. We love Florida's "Forgotten Coast" and believe you will as well!
We enjoyed our stay. Extremely clean. Beautiful river views. The host pays attention to detail. Thanks
A lovely rural setting with a private cottage literally overlooking the river. A wrap-around deck is right on and slightly overtop the river - lovely! Property manager lives next door and yet it's a private feeling. Very convenient to Tallahassee and the ocean. Enjoyed a morning at Wakulla Springs State Park which is also an easy drive and highly recommended! Enjoy swimming in the springs and take a boat cruise into the springs to see birds, alligators, etc. This is mentioned in the property description but just a quick reminder there is no stove, dishwasher, kitchen sink. Dirty dishes are left in a container outside and owner restocks. If you're a taller person you may find parts of the ceiling rather low - example, in the shower. Overall, a very nice stay in a beautiful area of northern Florida. I felt very safe as a solo female traveler also.
We enjoyed this serene location and cozy cottage. Audrey and Michael have created an ideal vacation setting to enjoy life on the Aucilla River. We enjoyed the wildlife, sounds of the birds and wind in the trees that lulls one into complete relaxation. Michael went out of his way to make our kayaking trip down the river so easy by meeting us at the end of our paddle, loading us up and taking us home. They share their little piece of heaven generously while providing privacy as well. Very impressive location and hosts.
Right on the water.
My stay at the River Rise Cottage was wonderful. Incredible rive views from both inside and outside the cottage. A great place to relax and unwind. Warm welcome from the Hosts and a peaceful wooded environment made the cottage a great place to stay.
Great access to wild nature: fish, critters, scenery; wonderful hosts.
The hosts were very hospitable and helpful and the cabin was roomy and comfortable. We used the outdoor kitchen for several meals and enjoyed the fire pit.
We loved the cabin, literally the cabin is on the water. Very quite and peaceful, great place to see wildlife at a safe and clean. Would recommend. James
We loved the cottage and wildlife in the surrounding areas. We saw everything from alligators to hogs. Audrey and Michael are great and the little touches inside the cottage were exactly what we needed for a relaxing week.
wonderful place to escape and experience everything nature offers.
