Peace and Quiet

If you’re looking for an off the beaten path, non touristy place to relax then this is the place for you! Charming, rustic, and right on the river. We loved sitting on the deck to watch beautiful river sunrises.

Relax and enjoy the river view

Was very pleased with property. It had TV's in every room plus one on the back porch which was screened in. That was my favorite spot for cocktails and enjoying view of river.

Great getaway!

We had a wonderful few days! We enjoyed time fishing on the dock and paddling in the kayaks. In Palatka we visited Pizza Boyz and Angels Diner, both were great! The house was comfy and we felt at home. The beds were comfortable and kitchen was well stocked. We hope to be back soon!

We had a wedding reception at a nearby venue and this was the perfect place to be close by. The house is spacious with a vintage feel and the view on the river is stunning. We will definitely be back to enjoy this hidden gem!! Thank you so much for a great visit and hospitality!!

Hi Kathleen I am sorry you were not aware that our house was not close to some things. That is one thing we love about our home is that it is in a quite country setting where we can enjoy the wildlife and not be in the hustle and bustle of the city. I will make sure to add that to our listing if it is not already there. We hope you enjoyed your stay with us. Vicky

Family of the bride retreat

We chose this house because it was minutes away from the venue where our daughter got married. The house is amazing, large yard, on the St John’s River. Spacious kitchen and living room. Both bathrooms have been completely remodeled. Oversized covered patio perfect for drinking your morning coffee while you watch the sunrise over the river.

Yearly Get Away

This property was even better than the pictures could show. Awesome place that we are considering coming to on a yearly basis. They had everything you need and asking myself why did I bring that. Beautiful views of the river and gorgeous home inside and out. And the owners are very accommodating! Thanks for a wonderful stay Vicky and to your brother in law Buddy who was a pleasure to meet and talk to and learn about the area.

So beautiful and relaxing

Loved staying on the river. The house had everything we needed. Working with Vicky was so easy in the rental process and any questions we came up with. Everything was perfect. Neighbors were great, and very helpful. The sunrises are amazing and different day to day. Evenings on the dock are the perfect time to relax. It reminded me of my childhood days at the cottage, such good memories. New memories were created on the St Johns River.

Beautiful Property

My husband and I came up for the weekend for our 22nd anniversary with our little dog. My sister-in-law and brother-in-law joined us the next day. It was beautiful, peaceful & quiet. Everything that we could have needed was right there. And to still be able to watch a comedy movie on Netflix was awesome! All the comforts of home... away from home. It was just so relaxing! We feel in love with this place.

GUY'S FISHING TRIP

Group had a great time. Comfortable, clean and stocked with all the amenities you could ask for. Fish did not bite, and the yard was a little wet. Maybe the owner might no someone to talk to about that. HA HA!
