    Excellent place to stay and rest. If you love nature this is the right place to be. Beautiful river at the back of the property and the owner is real gold. Helpful and always ready to assist you in case you need it. Many interesting sites at just min from there and if you like to fish and be away from the noise of the city no better place than this. Thanks Susan for the fantastic time spent there. Luis.

    What a wonderful property. We spent Thanksgiving at the Riverside Retreat and enjoyed it so much. The house was clean and stocked with everything I needed to cook our thanksgiving dinner. The host, Susan, is super attentive and wonderful. Overall great stay.

    This was our second visit to Riverside Retreat, and we love everything about it! The house is located on a beautiful river that is full of wildlife. We saw beautiful birds and turtles. The house is super clean and comfortable. The owners are the best. Susie and Harvey live next door and were super helpful in answering all our questions and with suggestions on places to visit. They really made us feel welcome. We have rented many VRBO homes, but Riverside Retreat is the best house we have rented. We can't wait to return next year. Thank you, Susie and Harvey for a great week at your beautiful home!

    This property was very clean and well stocked with everything you could possibly need. We totally enjoyed our stay. We kayaked and went fishing on the river. There is an abundance of things to do in the area: great restaurants. Hiking trails and several parks. Susan went above and beyond to make our stay very enjoyable.

    We had an amazing stay at Susan’s place this week! The house was probably the cleanest and most well maintained home we’ve ever stayed in. You can tell that a lot of thought and care is put into the home. The modern kitchen and bathrooms were very nice! We loved being able to use the provided kayaks and they were very easy to put in at the dock. We enjoyed paddling around the river, relaxing on the porch and visiting nearby Rainbow Springs. The owners are so nice and went out of their way to accommodate us. We would love to visit again in the future!
