Nice place

Host was excellent annd responded quickly when messaged! The cabin was just perfect for our family gateway! We enjoyed the comfy beds great kitchen, grill and fire pit! The kayaks were a special joy and the weather was perfect! The view spectacular for our morning coffee on the rocking chairs. Thank you Jared et al!

Yes and yes.But there were 3 bats flying around in the house, and it would have been nice if the host would have offered a discount.

This is a beautiful property. Will absolutely book again. It has wonderful views peaceful, and plenty of wildlife to watch.

Beautiful home. Great location.

Our stay was incredible! The home was comfortable, well-kept, and had everything we needed. The host was friendly and responsive, which made the whole process easy and stress-free. The location was perfect: quiet and relaxing, central to springs, yet still close enough to town for convenience. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

Pictures don’t do it justice. So peaceful and pretty right on the water! The highlight were the otters swimming up to our feet!

Great area of Florida to visit.

Rustic Comfort on the Santa Fe RiverWe had a fantastic stay at this rustic but incredibly comfortable cabin right on the Santa Fe River. There was plenty of room for our group of 8, and the kids spent most of their time fishing off the dock in the backyard or kayaking along the river. The host provided kayaks, floats, and fishing poles, which made it so easy to jump right into the fun.The kitchen was well-appointed with everything we needed, and the beds were very comfortable. The location is quiet, serene, and the perfect spot to disconnect and enjoy nature—without having to totally “rough it.” We even lost power one night due to a rainstorm, but the generator kicked on instantly and kept everything running without us having to lift a finger.The host was friendly and responsive, and there were plenty of linens and all the comforts of home. The cabin is also conveniently close to Ginnie Springs and Ichetucknee Springs, making it a great base for exploring the area’s beautiful waterways. Highly recommend for families, friend groups, or anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with easy access to outdoor adventures.

The experience is both exhilarating and peaceful, offering a unique way to connect with nature. After a day of kayaking, returning to the river house feels like coming home.

Absolutely Amazing Stay – A Hidden Gem!I can't rave enough about our stay at this beautiful cabin! The house was absolutely stunning, with plenty of space for our family of six. It was clean, well laid out, and not overly cluttered, which made it super easy for everyone to move around comfortably.The owner truly went above and beyond — providing everything from cooking essentials to a basket of snacks, portable fans, and more. We were especially impressed by the thoughtful touches that made the cabin feel like home.And let’s talk about the lake… absolutely breathtaking! The owner graciously provided kayaks and floats — enough for our entire family to enjoy the water together. It was such a peaceful and scenic spot. The neighbors were really kind and as well! The location is great too: only about 20 minutes from stores like Scaff’s and Family Dollar, and close to Ichetucknee Springs, which made for an awesome day trip.If you're on the fence about booking this place — stop thinking and just book it. It was worth every single dime. We’re already planning to make this our annual vacation spot!

Magical, memorable and a whole lot of fun!
