Relax on a Beautiful River in a Natural Florida Setting

We sure enjoyed having you and hope to have you back again. You took such excellent care of the property and I appreciate it very much. The fall is a great time to visit when the leaves start to change and the weather is cooler. This has been an amazing summer at the Retreat. NO bugs but lots of birds and wild animals to see. The manantees came to the dock and a big alligator was seen swimming down the river. Winter is coming and St. Marks Wildlife Refuge will welcome the Northern birds back for the season. So many beautiful birds that are only seen in the Winter. Looking forward to welcoming lots of visitors to our little gem on the river.

Thank you so much for your kind words. So happy that you enjoyed all the wildlife. After all the rain we got, the bugs came. As soon as it dries up, things will be better. The winter is usually an awesome time to come. It is chilly but usually warms up during the day. The bugs leave and being outdoors is great. Thanks for the recommendations for future guests. Wakulla Springs is a MUST on the bucket list and during the winter there are so many new birds at the St Marks Wildlife Refuge. You have to drive down to the lighthouse and walk around. You will see alligators on the sides of the road as you drive down. Thanks for coming and we hope to have you visit again.

Glad you liked our upgrade of the internet. Starlink is the best!!! You described beautifully the important things about the Retreat. It is so great to get away to enjoy the outdoors. Thanks for your return visit and the care you took of the cabin.

Thanks so much for your review. The screen porch is the best place to watch the river flow by while the birds and other animals entertain you. We loved having you and look forward to having you again.

So happy you saw the manatees. They usually come to our place in the summer. We loved having you and look forward to your return visit. The fall is beautiful as the trees begin to change colors. Thanks for your review.

We do hope you will come again. Your recommendation to rent a boat and have it delivered does add so much to your stay. The river is an easy one to paddle up to the springs and then drift back to the cabin. A great way to see more of the river. Thanks for your review!

Thanks! Glad you had a great stay and hope to see you again.

Was great having you and hope you will check back with us for your next stay in our area. GO NOLES

Thank you so much for your kind words. You were the perfect guest and we look forward to your return trip. So happy you came and enjoyed your stay.

Thanks for coming and for your review.

It was great having you. As a retired teacher of 43 years, it brings me joy to be able to celebrate in a small way the accomplishments of those staying at the Retreat and graduation from law school is so special to me as my husband went to the University of Florida for law school. It brings back special memories of those times. Celebrating life's special events is so important to me be it a birthday, anniversary, holiday or any other event that is important to our guests. Our college activities are a great time to celebrate and I always try to have a flag to add to the special time my guests spend at the Retreat. So happy you came to stay. Our guests are more than guests. Many come back to stay over the years because of the calm, peaceful environment which is so rare to find in this world we live in now. My husband who loved the Retreat is meeting our guests has passed away but his favorite thing was to spend a short time talking to our guests. Before COVID we would escort our guests to the Retreat to make sure they got checked in and to answer any guestions. He would enjoy it so that at times, I would have to say, "You know it is time for us to go." During COVID we were not able to do this and he always missed. Needless to say the Retreat has brought so many guests over the years since 2004 and I hope for many years to come, it will continue to be a little piece of HEAVEN on earth for our guests to enjoy. Wishing your son a wonderful life!

Thank you for your kind words. We love it when people tell us how much they feel at home. My retreats bring me such joy because of people like you who come to stay and find it to be a touch of home. It was a pleasure to have you and we look forward to having you back. Home is where the heart is and my heart is always blessed beyond measure each time I welcome new folks to our property. Thanks for the extra effort it took to write a review. You found a way to get it done and I appreciate it.

Thanks for coming. We enjoyed having you and hope to see you again. The location is close to Tallahassee and other places to visit in the area.
