Gorgeous cabin in a great location in Astor with a flawless boat house that has ample space for boat/jet ski docking. Lots of beds and very well stocked. The only downside to the cabin is there is a slight hornet issue we saw 10 dead and alive on the inside and outside of the cabin. Also multiple showers cannot be ran at once as the hot water is prioritized to the down stairs so anyone showering upstairs gets room temp to luke warm water.

Great place for large group or multiple families!

Our group has been staying at this house every Jan/Feb for the last few years for our annual St. Johns river fishing trip. There is lots of room for our group of 12 guys and the owner is easy to deal with. We plan to return each year and this is the best house on the river in Astor that our group all agrees on staying. Thank you Mark for letting us enjoy this awesome house on the river!

Great relaxing vacation

Stayed here with husband and kids. We had a great time at this very unique and beautiful property. We had the pleasure of renting the pontoon boat and exploring the St Johns River (the owner Mark made it a smooth process). Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well stocked. We brought food and tried a couple of local restaurants as well (definitely worth bringing some food). We will definitely come back!

Gorgeous home

This home is absolutely gorgeous with plenty of room and very clean! We have stayed on St Johns River for the last 15 years for our summer vacation and we finally found a home to stay that accommodated our large family. This was the best vacation to Astor Florida, thanks to this home and hosts. Plenty of room and everyone which was comfortable for our large family. The home is a beautiful lodge makes you feel like you are in the mountains of Montana. Mark and his assistant were such a pleasure to work with and very responsive to any questions we had. Thank you for opening your beautiful home up for families like us. We are already planning our next trip to Astor!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location

Location is truly stunning, the views are what make this home special. However, the house itself fell short of our expectations, especially for the premium price. The twin bedroom on the first floor is actually a converted office, and unfortunately, it was very uncomfortable for sleeping, there is no window covers and the lights will not allow you to sleep, this room is right in front of the stairs so everyone going up & down will see you. The refrigerator leakes, which meant we had to constantly clean up after it. One closet had an old appliance stored inside, which left the space with an unpleasant smell and look.Several outdoor amenities also need attention. The fire pit area was surrounded by dried bougainvillea branches with thorns, which made it hard to use safely. The spa jets only worked in one corner, and the BBQ grill only functioned partially, which was difficult for a larger group. The umbrella outside was unstable and unfortunately broke during our stay. Inside, the lights above the TV don’t turn off, and since there are no curtains on the first floor, the room stayed bright all night. We also noticed spider webs in several ceiling fixtures, particularly in the kitchen. The grill on the stove is filty, the property has incredible potential because of its setting, the home itself is not being maintained to the same “pristine” standard. With proper upkeep and repairs, it could be an amazing rental, but as it is now, it left us a bit disappointed.

5 star property with excellent riverside location

This property is amazing. The reason to only rate it by 4 stars were some shortcomings inside the property. We had issues with hot water, the barbecue and some very soft beds. The property itself is truly amazing and the pictures cannot give you the real understanding of the wow factor. Communication was easy with Mark and he recommended a boat rental nearby - highly recommended. The property has 4 real bedrooms. All other beds are placed in different settings - but not actual bedrooms. I’m sure they will fix the problems and I will highly recommend you to book this magnificent place and enjoy the Ocala area.

Great location and home but property needs cleaning/updating

The location of the home and size is wonderful. However, the cleanliness and organization needs some attention. The kitchen was very unorganized and untidy. There were no bath towels throughout the home, only beach towels. We were only given one trash bag for a 4 night stay and no sponge for dishes and no cleaner to wipe the counters etc. The home is is in desperate need of a deep-clean. TVs in bedrooms did not work, plug could not even reach designated receptacle. The Wifi strength was so poor we could not even check emails. We rented the on site pontoon boat but the boat seemed like it had never been cleaned. Carpet on board was filthy, seats and counters were not clean and it just felt very old worn. Overall, we had a great stay and would be okay if it wasn't at such a high price point. For the price per night and size/status of the home we expected more.

Disappointing

EMAIL SENT TO PROP. MANAGER FIRST NIGHT:::: The early check in was cleared and we arrived at 2pm sharp. Maintenance team was here replacing the failed drywall ceiling that fell in 1st floor master. Drywall dust everywhere, garage, front porch, and driveway included. They cleaned and mopped, but still residue throughout 1st floor Being a General Contractor, the last thing I wanted to see upon arrival, and entering the home is construction and debris. Secondly, as were unloading, one of the women working here made a judgmental comment of, “think y’all brought enough stuff”. Lastly, the master suite bathroom clogged frequently of which I plunged, but honestly, I shouldn’t be dealing with any of this. But wait, there’s more: - There’s an entire oven in the 1st floor guest closet, pic attached. - Master suite Owners closet is open with key in deadbolt and light left on, as well as attic ladder pulled down allowing attic heat to dump into the home - Workers left behind tools, materials, and drinks on master fireplace hearth. I just happened to catch them as they were leaving and handed it to them. - Update on owners closet key, maint came back in to stash key in lockbox after I brought the tools left behind, however, proceeds to vocalize where the hiding spot is while I’m standing in the room. -MB tub is dirty, and appears someone “spit” in it - see pic

Awesome Time

The house and property is large and beautiful. A perfect location to enjoy the river, Lake George, springs, and restaurants on the water. I only want to vent about a few things because if no one tells the owner or property manager, well I guess they will never get fixed. The refrigerator had some sort of leak. Every time you open and close the door it makes a huge U shape puddle on the floor, causing us to slip before we realized what was happening. We ended up moving a large carpet that was in front of the stove to soak up the mess every time we opened the door. In the master bathroom toilet room, there was not a holder for the toilet paper. There were a lot of spider webs inside and especially outside the home and around the boat docks. Spiders ended up getting inside all our boats, we brought 3. I walked right into a LARGE one when I first stepped outside the back door by the jacuzzi. There needs to be more than 1 king size bed. We came with 3 adult couples and all of us brought our kids. There were many beds for them, but the adults having to choose which one of us got the king size bed made it awkward. The upstairs bathroom stopped up anytime any of us had to take a number 2 and had to be plunged each time :-0. The garbage disposal in the kitchen does not work and that side of the sink would back up with dirty water each time you washed the dishes. We called the property manager several times, with no call back. Overall though, we had an awesome stay.
