Excellent river house
The home is perfect for that family who wants to boat, fish, grill, swim, play pool & foosball, play board games or just relax & watch the river. There wasn't a boring or unenjoyable moment. We rented a pontoon for the day that is literally 10 min away fron the house. The house was spotless & had everything we needed during our stay. This home is very easy to get to & close to anything you may need during your stay. Of the many homes we've rented over the last few years, this is one of our favorites.

Relaxation on the Withlacoochie
This property is perfect for 10 people.Lots of nice seating inside and out. Pool table, kayaks, canoes, bikes. And any kitchen appliance you could think of. Big pots and pans to cook for a large family. We loved the view and the deck. Pool was a little chilly!lol, we enjoyed our weekend with our kids and their significant others and my parents. Property was nicely furnished, we enjoyed a fire every night and we visited a fall festival, the rainbow river spring, Swampy's and the Blue Gator. The only downfall this town doesn't have a sports bar with the NFL ticket that we could find.

We had a great time at this property! I would definitely rent it again. The owner had all the kitchen supplies you could need even a crock pot! Very clean when we arrived and check in was easy. Great communication from the owner as well. We had a ball playing pool on your night that was very rainy. We enjoyed the kayaks and the fishing and it was very close to rainbow springs for tubing.

Secluded getaway
We highly recommend this house and would stay here again if we are in the area. It is in a quiet neighborhood on the river. It was enjoyable to sit outside and take in the view of the river and the boats. The home owners were quick responders when we had questions and provided different items to help get us started to enjoy our stay. The house is very spacious and our family really enjoyed playing pool. The kitchen is fully stocked with all necessary items to cook meals each day. We rented a pontoon boat and easily tied up to the dock when we weren’t using it. We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Robinson house!

Lazy Weekend Getaway
We wanted a place to escape the everyday noise of the city (Jacksonville) and relax…and this was the PERFECT spot for doing just that! Love the location, love the house, LOVE the view!! Heather was awesome, and easy to communicate with. We had no issues during our visit. Everything is exactly as it was presented. If you’re staying here, I’d definitely recommend taking a kayak out for a spin on the river…and being on the back patio at sunset. It gets so quiet at night! There’s no traffic noise, no ambulances/police sirens, no helicopters/planes….just crickets, bullfrogs, and the occasional splash of a fish jumping out of the water. Didn’t stay long enough to get into any fishing, but you can see all kinds of fish swimming by at any point in the day. This place is a little piece of Floridian paradise, and we will definitely be back!
