Stay away

I was charged 5x the normal nightly rate for two nights at this house. There is no water system on the house so you are basically showering in river water. The whole house smelled of very strong sulfur for 4 hours after my shower. My friend showered in a smaller bathroom and vomited and was unable to finish his shower. Very old house. Not up to code. Dangerous deck area and the dock is a joke. Stay away! Management company evolve was completely unresponsive after my stay. I was basically scammed out of a lot of money because there was a wedding there is no way anyone would pay that much to stay here. Stay somewhere else this place is disgusting

Simple yet perfect

We stayed 4 days here. Check I. And out process was simple. The deck view is Great!! House was very clean and had the perfect amount of space! A little out dated but had that cozy feel about it. We loved the easy access to the water and boat. If your looking for a quiet relaxing place this is it!

Nice place , plenty of room in the house and out side . Great veiw of the Suwannee River with a public boat ramp next door. Floating dock needs work , " old pontoon with soft spots". The gas grill on the upper deck was unusable , needs burners replaced , if not the whole grill. Instead of grilling there , we went to Akins BBQ just down the road and had steak , it was great ! For me , being in the construction industry, I saw some concerning issues with the structure of the upper deck, told my kids to stay away. For the most part , its a nice place. Loved being able to store my 16' boat in the garage with plenty of room to spare. Thanks , Danny

Great Stay

Such a beautiful location and stunning views from the balcony and the floating dock. Would absolutely stay again. We caught catfish off the dock and saw a river otter in the morning. 10/10.
