Private and Spacious
The pictures dont do the house justice! Very spacious. All of the rooms are good in size and have good privacy, but also well connected to the main parts of the home. The sunroom is amazing!! It was the room we spent all of our time in just watching the river. The kitchen is very nice and easy to cook in with plenty of dishes and needed cooking items. The home is set back on the property making jt very private and ideal for getting away from the world. Wonderful place to stay, and the hosts were awesome! Quick to respond and very helpful and willing to go above and beyond to make your stay even better!

River House
The house and property were amazing. Right on the Santa Fe. We spent most of the evenings at the house but had a rain/rest day and the amount of things to do just at the house were amazing. The property managers did a check in during our stay which I had never had before so it was nice in the event any question arose. We are already planning our next trip.

Great Stay!
This house is in an amazing location. The hosts are very nice and accommodating. Jeff and Michelle took 6 of us on a jet ski tour and we had so much fun! We used the tubes that were available to float the river. The house has so many extras like floats, life vests, kayaks. We saw deer on property everyday. I can’t say enough great things about our experience. Would definitely stay here again.

Riverside Retreat
Huge property but close where needed. Easy walk to dock and water or the open land to play. Fantastic secluded space for a getaway. We had 6 adults and this was perfect for us. Clean rafts and toys stored in the enclosed lower level or what I would call the Florida Basement. Lots of deck space to spread around people if you need a break from your trip associates. Location central to enjoying the area springs.

Unspoiled Peace
Peace and serenity abounds! This property is amazing and has everything you need for your stay! All the light switches are labeled, making it easy. It was just my husband & dogs on this trip, but there is plenty of various games (board games, jenga, ping pong, pac man, horse shoe pit, disc golf, etc.,), river tubes, kayaks, etc., available to keep the family entertained. There is a nice fenced area for the dogs, and they even have some pet bowls available to use for food & water. The massage chair was a nice treat! You can get groceries delivered by instacart (just make sure that you include a decent tip to make it worth the shoppers time to deliver so far away. Michelle was very responsive and friendly to our needs! We definitely look forward to staying again in the future!

Large yet cozy house on the river
We had a great 3 night stay! We enjoyed the house and it’s convenient location on the river. Got dropped off up river by Jeff and floated down to Ginnie Springs (had to get out early because of rain). Jeff was very helpful in picking us up early. The house is great to accommodate multiple people with plenty of bathrooms and lots of space. Huge yard for dogs to play and fenced in area as well. Only complaint was that on top of the $20 extra per guest I was charged an additional $75 cleaning fee for having a large group. Also I had to constantly reassure that we weren’t going to have a party with extra guests, which we didn’t. Overall it’s a great secluded space and we enjoyed getting away for the city to relax!

Great experience
The home on the river was great. Everything was very clean and well kept. Jeff and Michelle were awesome. If we needed anything at all they were there. They made us feel like we were at home. The wildlife on the place was a huge plus for us. Whitetail deer out the front and backyard every morning while drinking our coffee. The river and springs were beautiful and an experience by themselves. We will definitely be back soon. This was a laid back very peaceful vacation that was much needed!

What a great time our family had celebrating our kid graduating UF! This property was perfect for us. Lots of laidback fun- tubing on the river, kayaking, frisbee golf, s’mores at the fire pit, lounging on the dock, etc… We saw otters, owls, hummingbirds, snapping turtles, deer, fish, snakes- we loved it all!
