I love staying at this property. This was our 2nd stay here, and we would return in a heartbeat. I love how private this place is and our host was wonderful. We had everything we needed and then some. I wish I lived there 😂 I never want to leave!!
This was the perfect spot to go and relax. Quiet, comfortable and pure nature all around you. Small towns close by, springs and other outdoor activities available.
We will be back, and bring the grandkids next time.
Our stay at the river house was amazing. The space itself was well stocked, it was clean, the beds were comfy, and the view was beautiful! Our dog loved roaming around the yard and park picking up all of the scents:) Check in was simple and communication with Dorothy was smooth from start to finish. We loved it and look forward to another visit!!
My wife and i wanted to spend our 5 year anniversary somewhere quiet surrounded by nature, i will say we were so impressed with the property, not only was the living quarters beautiful but the location on the river was an anglers paradise, while we were there we caught 3 different species of fish, enjoyed some great dinner and at night got to gaze up at the stars, i would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a great getaway!!
The home was exactly what we needed to unplug. The host let us check out late and her home was very clean. Very hot water and the bed was comfy. Definitely recommend. We'll bring the kids next time
WOW!!!! Way beyond my expectations. Everything was perfect. The river was gorgeous, waking up to the streaming water and birds was so serene. Everything was clean. The house was fully stocked with everything needed.
We will definitely be back.
The River House was exactly what we needed for a fall getaway! My husband and I were able to just relax, fish and walk in the country setting. The 3 bedroom house is tastefully decorated and the kitchen is spacious with plenty of counter space and storage. The dishes and cookware are very nice as well! Dorothy communicated everything clearly and was quick with a response to any questions we had. This place is a very nice secluded spot on the Suwannee! We will be back!😊
My partner rented this place as a surprise for my 40th birthday and what a wonderful surprise it was!!!! 😍 This house is so cozy! The decor is just adorable and feels so much like home. Very private and right on the river. Very little traffic and we stayed Memorial day weekend! Do not hesitate to stay here. Dorothy is so kind. We called to let her know we were heading out and she could not be sweeter. Will be staying here again as much as possible. Next time may be bringing our adult children with us as we know they would enjoy. 10/10! Cannot say enough nice things!!!! Absolutely fabulous birthday! ❤️
The little house on the river is very homey and cozy. The river view from the windows is amazing. So many stars to gaze at during the night and the peaceful flow of the river washes away all your worries. Great place for a couples getaway or a family gathering. Dorothy the host was amazing. Very attentive and kind. I would certainly stay again. The house is very close to springs and very country. Just what I was looking for. Thanks again for opening your home to a lovely vacation.
This was a wonderful home right on the river with good access. Large, quiet, comfortable and clean. The loft, and ground level suite offer versatility. Nice stretch of river also. Enjoy!
We really loved being right on the river. The grand girls liked being tucked away in the upstairs loft room at night and enjoyed fishing off the dock. Our hostess could not have done more to make us feel welcome and assisted quickly in our requests for supplies for our longer stay.
