We stayed at the property for a girls’ weekend and a small baby shower/BBQ. The property was perfect, and we had a wonderful time swimming in the river, playing corn hike on the bank, and sitting around the fire pit. We’ll come again and bring our paddle boards for a weekend of paddling next time!

It was exactly what we were looking for. A quiet place on the river. If you wanted to, you could float from Ginnie Springs to the backyard. A great place for star gazing.

We spent a short weekend in the area for a wedding. This property was excellent for getting the rest I needed to keep up with the celebration. The kids enjoyed getting in the river. Would like to stay again sometime to enjoy the river and yard more.

Wonderful property on a beautiful river! The house was fantastic for my wife and two kids. The best part was waking up and taking a walk with the many deer out front. Very quiet and away from any traffic or city noise!

It felt like home! Though beautiful, we easily immersed ourselves into this lake home and felt completely comfortable and relaxed! It was clean and very functional. The pictures don’t do it justice. We are already talking about coming back!

Great house, right on the Santa Fe River. Spacious with room for everyone to spread out. Fire pit for the evenings and great kitchen for meals. This house is not near any grocery stores so plan ahead. We did and enjoyed our stay. We visited Ginny, Ichetucknee and Fanning springs all close by the home. Thanks Cooksey family
