Exactly what we hoped it would be!

This home is exactly what we were looking for. It was right on the Sante Fe River with a huge property, perfect for long walks with the dogs, with many wildlife sightings. The home was spacious, with many areas to enjoy indoors and out. We could have spent our entire week just in the house and on the property.

UF Graduation Weekend

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!

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.

Amazing Family Getaway

Spring break for my wife, 3 kids and a dog. The pictures do not do the property justice. So private, quiet (except for our kids) and close proximity so so many springs. Kids loved the downstairs playroom with the ping pong table. Fire pit, grand live oaks, disk golf course, deer, owls. The mornings were so tranquil with the birds and so quiet. Stars were amazing at night. They have numerous kayaks you can use. We felt like we were staying on an old southern plantation. The house is older style Florida river house which was perfect. Nothing fancy. We especially loved the giant sunroom overlooking the river.

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.

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!

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!
