    Absolutely loved our stay !! Old Florida on the Suwannee. Not fancy a rustic appeal and clean. We loved the view of the river and evenings around the fire pit. We docked our boat and couldn’t ask for a better host!

    This is our 2nd time staying here during Easter weekend and will hopefully continue to be a tradition. My sister and I, along with our 4 boys (ages 8-14) absolutely love the peace and quiet. The home is always so clean, has everything you could need. When originally booking I mixed up the dates and was off by a day. When I requested to chage it to the dates we needed, the ower was great and responded quickly and had no problems with doing so. When we went to leave, we had a flat tire and ended up having to stay an hour or so longer after checkout and, I contacted the owner and they were very accommodating.The views are beautiful, we saw a manatee, several hawks and many other birds. Great place to stay! Hope we can do it again next year.

    My sister and her 2 kids along with myself and my two kiddos were lucky enough to enjoy good family time together over Easter weekend. We had the BEST time, the river level was up but that certainly didn't stop us from enjoying it, so dont let that detour you. It was SUPER clean, peaceful, quiet and had everything you could possibly need. My sister and I loved this home and look forward to visiting again soon.?

    We found the rental to be somewhat Tired. There were many cobwebs on the windows and stains on the carpets. The stains were covered up with small rugs and blankets, we tripped over the several times. The kitchen window was so full of cobwebs my wife decided to clean them off. The water from the tap had a very strange smell The situation on the river is beautiful, but the rental did not match.
