Unspoiled Peace

Peace and serenity abounds! This property is amazing and has everything you need for your stay! All the light switches are labeled, making it easy. It was just my husband & dogs on this trip, but there is plenty of various games (board games, jenga, ping pong, pac man, horse shoe pit, disc golf, etc.,), river tubes, kayaks, etc., available to keep the family entertained. There is a nice fenced area for the dogs, and they even have some pet bowls available to use for food & water. The massage chair was a nice treat! You can get groceries delivered by instacart (just make sure that you include a decent tip to make it worth the shoppers time to deliver so far away. Michelle was very responsive and friendly to our needs! We definitely look forward to staying again in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Michelle & Jeff (386) 288-4832

I have owned and operated rental property in Jacksonville fl for over 20 years. After selling an apartment bldg., I now offer vacation rentals in Fort White, High Springs and Branford Fl.

Why they chose this property

Vast rolling meadows, mature woods, and nearly 600 feet of riverfront area with huge dock. The Santa Fe River is well known for the springs that feed it. We are also minutes away from The crystal blue Ichetucknee River and State and local parks for tubing , kayaking, snorkeling and diving.
