3 bedroom Farmhouse on the River

Cozy spot for our family of 5. Had a blast, saw tons of manatees, and can’t wait to come back!

What a wonderful spot!We enjoyed our first whole family vacation while checking bucket list items off. From swimming with manatees right off the dock, kayaking in the clear blue water of the Weeki Wachee, laughing at the striped mullet as they jump their way upstream, catch and releasing turtles, checking out Frank Howard Park for shelling, Honeymoon Island Beach for a sunset, Bayport Pier for a sunrise and enjoying some great grub at the Silver Dolphin and Upperdeck it was a divine busy trip!

The stay was good! Great location! There were 2 two person kayaks, 1 one person kayak and 2 paddleboards. We saw 6 manatee out on the river, so that was cool! The AC worked very well, and the house had everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again.

Host was wonderful. Such a cute river cabin. Had a wonderful stay.

Had a little trouble checking in- alarm was going off so sheriff was called on us lol. But Anthony was a great host and was able to fix our issue right away. We would absolutely stay here again! The house was very clean and thoughtfully stocked with snacks and essentials like laundry soap and basic shower supplies, which made traveling with kids so much easier. The setup was perfect for families. Our four kids (ages 4–11) had an amazing time.The kids loved kayaking and fishing right off the dock. Our 7-year-old daughter even caught four bluegill, which was a highlight of the trip! The fireplace was wonderful, and making s’mores and bbqing together was such a fun touch. Having kayaks available and easy access to the main river nearby was a huge plus.One day we rented a boat and explored up toward the Gulf, including the Mud River. We were lucky enough to see manatees both in the canal and in the Mud River, which was unforgettable for the kids and adults alike.Overall, this was a fantastic stay....clean, well-equipped, kid-friendly, and full of great outdoor experiences. Highly recommend, especially for families. Thank you for a great stay!

A great little hidden gem. Located minutes from the springs water parks and a short paddle to the clear water. We were shocked to see manatee this late in the year but we saw 3, 2 different times!

We booked the property with 24hrs notice after another location was cancelled. Grateful this home was available the dates we needed. Located along a canal a 15min paddle away from the main river to head towards Rogers Park (1mile) or towards mangrove/clear water (1mile). The home provided several kayaks and paddles but did not have adult life jackets; and we packed our own paddleboards where were easy to launch from the back dock. The kitchen was clean, with newer appliances and the host provided a thoughtful welcome snack basket. The home is located in an older area where homes are primarily double-wide manufactured units with window AC/no central air; how the AC in each room was cold after returning from the hot Florida sun. The home sleeps 6 in the 3 bedrooms but there is room to put an air mattress if you want to accommodate 8. We enjoyed a 3 night stay which was just the right amount of time for adults and kids to paddle the Springs and see many manatee up close. We picked up all our food at a Walmart nearby before checking in, though we went out one night to the Tipacanoe Creamery for a treat; and finished our trip with a stunning sunset at the nearby Bayport Park overlooking the peaceful preserves. Spring Hill and Weeki Wachee Springs is a MUST visit low-key relaxing but fun for all ages destination.

The house had plenty of room for the 5 of us. We enjoyed using the kayaks several times. The manatees visited us several times throughout the week.

A well-appointed place right on the water with everything you could need, including snacks.

This was an absolutely perfect for the stay with two 12 year olds and two 6 year olds. We all had a wonderful time!

Loved the lake and the weather was terrific
