Feels like cabin in the woods

Though the cabin is near other houses, you feel like you are miles away from anyone. Yard is fenced in so it was nice to let my dog off leash. Highly recommend for a get away.

Riverside treehouse

We had an amazing time staying here. Our kids and dogs really loved the property and being so close to the river. It was a cute little cabin with everything we needed to cook and be comfortable. The fire pit was great to sit around. We really enjoyed our time here.

Cute and cozy

The cabin has everything you need and checks all the boxes. The hosts provide just about every comfort you could ask for. The firewood was even sorted by size with a bucket of kindling and a few starters, which was a nice surprise. We plan on returning the next time we need to get away from the city. This place is a gem for sure.

Awesome Getaway

Had a blast with my kids and the dogs. We spent a ton of time by the river and around the fire pit. The dogs loved being able to roam around the property. If you love nature and are looking for a peaceful retreat, this is definitely the place. We’ll 100% be back.

Private Cozy Cabin Retreat

Amazing spot to relax and be totally secluded! My wife and I spent 2 weeks here with our 2 dogs and we will definitely be back! Rob and Mike are amazing hosts and even had us to their ranch for a tour! The cabin is very private and fully fenced in with no one in sight! The river is right behind and beautiful to hangout on! It’s a close drive to all amenities and is very central to all other attractions! We can’t say enough good things about Mike and Rob and the cabin!

Home Away From Home

This was a surprise trip for my husband and our "Boys." I selected it because of the woodsy feel which reminded Hubs of his childhood in Wisconsin and the fenced-in property allowed us to feel secure about walking with the Boys off-leash or simply running around to catch all of the sniffs. We will be back to this peaceful magical place. Thank you, Mike & Rob!

Little paradise

This is a great getaway. The cabin is adorable and the property is wonderful. It is fenced in. We could let our dog roam and not worry about him. The cabin is homey and comfortable. It has all that you need there. The property has a grill and fire pit. Plenty of outdoor space to relax and take in the nature. Wish we had more time to enjoy this gem. It was perfect for our weekend of peace and quiet to unwind. We look forward to coming back!

Bit of Heaven

Loved everything - Not able to get wifi signal but I had no problems with that fact , except I could not communicate with property owners , sorry if that was an issue. I can highly recommend this property - can understand why the owners fell in love with this little lot of heaven.

River front

The location is very peaceful. The house was clean, bed very comfortable. I believe that they need some serving bowls and another smaller size pan. The wireless doesn’t always work and cell reception is spotty. The shower is great but I feel they need a safety bar inside it. Having laundry facilities was great. I think a chair is needed in the bedroom and also a straight chair in the living room area.

Peaceful and clean

The available kayaks were a great addition to our time here as we paddled 3 miles of the river from the backyard to the state forest, hiking a few miles before kayaking back. Photos don't do this place justice. It is so clean and all of the kitchen items were available that we could've needed, so we cooked all of our meals at the house and used the grill too. There are a lot of peaceful areas to sit with coffee or have a meal, both inside and outside. The bed was very comfortable and we slept more solidly than either of us had in awhile. Communication was easy and fast. There are bits of information listed that are easy to follow (like where to find the first aid kit, or how to turn on the shower), and the owners were easy to reach quickly when I had a question. They even put a flashlight at the gate when they knew we'd be in after dark. We noticed the little things that were a nice touch too (like a welcome mat that was screwed to the deck so someone didn't trip on it and slide down the stairs). They really thought of everything. The calm and peacefulness of this property is well worth the price.

I've stayed over the past 12 years a few times and it's always the same relaxing feeling. Town is fine with plenty of good restaurants and a grocery store. The cabin is a 1BR and rustic, but everything you need is there and plenty of cleared outdoor space. Lastly, I took my dogs and the property is fully fenced. If you have a small dog everywhere is fenced except the bottom of the front gate (which is pretty far away), otherwise you're fine. Both AC do need a tune up.

About the host

Hosted by Rob and Mike

Host profile image
Rob and Mike purchased this property as a get away... They wanted to be close to the Withlacoochee River, Forest and Rails to Trails bike path..... While initially only visiting the property once a month they quickly grew to love the area and all that it has to offer. A few years ago they decided to look for a permanent home in the area that would be able to accommodate their love of animals and give them space to have more... Well they found the perfect place... Not far from the River House, in Sumter County a 60 acre ranch where they raise their goats, horses,chickens, donkeys and cattle on their own piece of heaven. Not wanting to completely part with the River House , they decided to rent it out as a vacation spot to travelers, so others could experience it.

Why they chose this property

Picking out this River House was easy.... The first time they saw this property they wrote an offer to purchase.... It was just that simple. Where else can you find a house on stilts that makes you feel like you are in a tree house on the river!

What makes this property unique

The property has this amazing trail that winds around the woods... with gopher tortoises checking you out as you pass them, and almost the entire property is shaded by oak trees... It has a great mystical feel!
