Weeki river fun

We stayed at the Wet Feet retreat for 4 nights the last week of March. It was amazing. The house has its quirks but it is a great little river cottage. The main river is a 5-10 minute paddle from the house and the water is very clear. We would highly recommend.

Great time on the water

Very nice house on the water just off the Main Weeki Wachee river. If you love kayaking, scuba or snorkeling, and Manatees, you'll love this house. At night you can sit on the deck and enjoy the firepit as well.

Relaxing location

Cute house, very clean. We had a great time on the river. Parking was a little tight with our boat, but overall a fantastic experience. Kitchen was a great size and the little screened in patio was a blessing with the mosquitos at night.

Girls Trip

Three of us old friends planned our gathering and loved our stay at the Wet Feet Retreat. House was absolutely perfect. Close to everything. Had every single thing we needed - even things we didn't know we needed. Was clean and modern and very homey and comfortable. Weeki Wachee / Spring Hill is a wonderful laid back town - can't wait to return.

Wonderful Weekend

The home is very clean and in a wonderful spot. All of the amenities of home. The home is tucked away with a spectacular view of the river. Manatee and dolphin appear in the morning and give a miraculous view while you drink your coffee. Booking was simple and easy and communication from owners was informative. We will book again.
