About this property

Located on the Santa Fe River perfect for boating & tubing on the Ichetucknee.

Making memories on the beautiful Santa Fe River. This large family friendly home offers 5 spacious bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a sunroom, a party deck, kid friendly activities, tubing on the Ichetucknee River, swimming off the dock or just relaxing in the jacuzzi. Make a morning trip to the boathouse and enjoy your coffee in the peace and quiet of the river. Finish your day cooking smores at the backyard fire pit.

Bring your own boat and cruise the Santa Fe and Suwannee River. Private boat ramp is walking distance from the house. Easy docking at our boathouse.

Located on the Santa Fe River, you can swim and kayak right off our dock. You are a short 10-minute drive from the Ichetucknee State Park which host beautiful spots for swimming, tubing, paddle boarding and hiking. The house is located in one of Florida's best natural spring areas. It includes Ginnie Springs (a private park with over 7 springs and miles of riverfront), Blue Springs State Park and Poe Springs.

Plenty of seating in both the dining area and living room for a large gathering. If you are a puzzle person, find a seat at the game table and help us finish a puzzle. If you are looking for some real downtime, this is the place to be. At night watch the deer feeding in the front yard and in the morning the manatees and otters playing at the river. The only sounds you will hear are the crickets and frogs talking to each other.

About the host

Hosted by Rob and Debbie Stambaugh

Host profile image
My husband and I found this amazing river front home right before we retired. We wanted a retreat home where we could have our four daughters, their husbands and our six grandchildren experience the river, the woods, boating, tubing, fishing and swimming all in a nature setting. We love this home and want to share it with others looking for that same peace and tranquility where at night, you can watch the deer feeding in the front yard and in early morning watch the manatees and otters playing in the river. At night make sure you light up the fire pit for smores and storytelling.

Why they chose this property

As a family, we had rented a house on the Ichetucknee River for years. We loved the river, the woods, the small surrounding towns and the peace and quiet we always experienced on our river vacation. When it came time to retire, we knew exactly where we were going to look for a vacation retreat. Now we can come anytime we want, and we would love to share this amazing experience with you.

What makes this property unique

Our home is located in Three Rivers Estates with a private homeowner's association that manages seven parks on the river. Our goal for our retreat home was to equip it with everything we needed. We wanted to be able to jump in the car and head to river anytime we wanted without having to pack up each time. We have everything you need for cooking, plenty of bath towel, beach towels and floating tubs. This five bedroom and four bath house has large rooms and sleeps over 18 guests in beds plus a futon in the sunroom. There is a crib in one of the bedrooms plus a highchair in the kitchen and kiddy pool at the boat house. Come experience our paradise!
