This is our 4th time staying here since 2020 and we love it! It’s a great home away from home and so peaceful. Heather is a great host and always super accommodating. We’ll be back soon for our 5th :)
Wonderful home with a beautiful view! We loved the back patio and the couches facing the river. The Kids caught a ton of bluegill at the dock. Will be back.
Gorgeous location right on the river! Tranquil escape with plenty of space for multiple families to spread out and enjoy. Loved the kayaks on site, which we used to explore the river in the mornings before heading out to the springs in the afternoon. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could need to stay in and cook or grill during your visit. I would highly recommend!
Where to start, it was a great 4 days.When you drive in the outside does not reflect what’s to come. These hosts have created a wonderful vacation experience. The great room is huge. The pool table was used every night. The sofa and chairs facing the river were used often. The TV is big with its own sectional seating but we never used it. Kitchen is VERY well equipped. The star is the patio on the river. Tons of seating options and a view you will not tire of.Get early, the mist on the water is beautiful. At dark there is an owl that visits, the frogs start singing. All rather magical. Afternoons the boats go by. Lots of fun activities nearby if you can tear yourself away from the patio.Also a pool with lanai with a river view.This area is “Old Florida” at its best.
We had an amazing stay with family. The views from the back deck are breathtaking and the heated pool was a huge bonus!! The house is pretty well stocked. Thanks for a great stay! We would definitely stay here again.
Family weekend get awayHouse was full supplies like toilet paper paper towels soap.This was truly appreciated Owner was very quick to respond to information. Large home with comfortable beds and huge living room. Would definitely consider renting again next year.
I had a photo crew work from there 1 day, river is breathtaking beautiful, couldn't ask for a nicer place! Will be coming back for vacation.

We had very relaxing trip. This place is nice and has great views of the river.
We came here to celebrate my parents 40th anniversary and had just a wonderful weekend with the most beautiful views of the river. Both the kids and the adults loved the pool table and game room. Our hosts were so accommodating and welcoming; already planning another visit up here with friends!

About the host
Hosted by Heather Robinson
We started visiting this area a few years ago and enjoyed it so much that we decided to purchase it as a get away home as we live in the city and we liked that we could drive a fairly short distance and have the peace and quiet with only the sounds of nature with a lot less population.
Why they chose this property
We would bring our boat up here when we visited and actually saw this house for sale from the water and it was the views that actually made our minds up that this was the property we wanted. Our plan is to retire up here.
What makes this property unique
The other side of the river is unspoiled and you will only see nature at its finest and maybe some river otters at play.
