What a wonderful place to stay. It was very peaceful and nice. Kitchen had all cookware and utensils you would need. Everything was clean and felt homey. Host quickly responds. We have 3 teens and we all enjoyed having a campfire, playing the games they have there, fishing (you’ll need your own poles) and even got brave and kayaked to the pretty spring across the river. A perfect little get away for our family! Hope to come back one day and stay a little longer.

We wanted to get away from the noise (city noise). This house on the river sure was the place to get-a-way! It was far out of reach of the norm. We enjoyed coffee on the deck and listening to the birds. It rained a bit while we stayed there, but it was a nice break from the heat! We enjoyed our relaxing time. The kitchen was FULLY stocked with pots, pans and such. Fishing was fun. Kayaking to the springs across the river was amazing! We played Wii also. We really enjoyed our stay... Thanks again for a relaxing time!

Rural location so internet is spotty at best. Make sure you have you're entry information saved as you may not be able to access it.Nice quite location with a lot of birds. Running Springs across the river was a highlight.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The cabin was peaceful, quiet, and calm—exactly what we needed to relax and recharge. It was well-equipped with everything we could have possibly needed, which made our stay even more comfortable.We spent our days fishing, grilling, and kayaking to the springs and down the river—such a beautiful and memorable experience. We also enjoyed exploring the area, including a visit to Nature’s River Antique Store in Mayo, which was a fun stop.For meals, we tried Mayo Café and Mi Viejo, and both were delicious—definitely recommend!Overall, this was a perfect getaway, and we would absolutely come back again.

The house sits right on the river! Beautiful, quiet, private place. In addition, the owners were very convenience/safety minded: flashlights if u want to venture out at night or lose power, bug spray (it’s Florida) , nightlights in hallways and bathroom (some of us can’t see in the dark), etc. Very grateful for these small, but thoughtful touches. And lastly- that “kayak loading/launching” rig down on the dock- FABULOUS! Certainly made it easier getting in/out of the river

Everything was great and accurate. We loved it. If I had younger children I would be concerned about the river but if you watch the kids it is all cool. Lots of wildlife and close to all the springs. We would stay again. Very quite and secluded.

We had a great time! We had Nana Camp with my grandchildren ranging in age from 7-13. We loved the wildlife, weather, river, and all the provisions you supplied so we could make the most of everything. We tubed, kayaked, roasted marshmallows, played board games, sang, danced and fell exhaustedly to sleep each night.
