Perfect Getaway
Perfect place for a relaxing getaway! We paddle boarded on the Suwannee river and swam in it! Loved Hart Springs, too. Walked up and down the dirt road with our dog. Made arts and crafts on the front porch. Cooked meals together. Ate together. Laughed. Relaxed! Some recommendations- We brought our own water filter as the water there smells like sulfur! Highly recommend you do, too! The grill did not seem to work- the temperature gauge is out. So we grilled over the fire we made in the barrel. All good!!

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

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.

Relaxing Time on the Suwannee
Upon arrival: not impressed with the closeness to 3 other homes & yard had not been mowed for couple of weeks, tree limbs, debris all over and porch not swept. But inside of home was very comfortable, clean and had everything we would need for our stay. Enjoyed our few days and would return.

Awesome river house!
We had an amazing time at this location. The house was very clean, spacious, a little dated, but we didn't go without nor did that lessen our experience. Everything was well maintained & functional. Comfy furniture, stocked with all the basic needs & accommodation for a comfortable, relaxing stay. Beautiful river front with awesome porches & fenced yard. Boat ramp is right next door making it boater friendly & loved that it was pet friendly too. We had such a great weekend & look forward to coming back soon!

Great home away from home.
This place was perfect for our family. It had the cabin feel but with all the amenties of home. Coffee in the morning on the deck overlooking the river was just what the doctor ordered!
