Cozy, comfortable and the perfect restful location for a sisters’ getaway. Loved sitting on the porch watching the fish jump and simply relaxing. The beds were comfortable and the decor was cute and we loved everything about it. Access to a plethora of activities in the area if you want to see old Florida and enjoy small town charm!

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT

Everything about this place was wonderful! From the communication with the host, if you like outdoors kayaking in nature it's the place for you! The property itself inside was immaculately clean furnished very nicely and had everything that you could possibly need to accommodate your stay on the Suwannee River. Laura The Host was absolutely wonderful, she let us get in a day early and offered us suggestions on where to eat and where to go. If you ever stay in the area it's the perfect place for a small family. We will be staying there on all of our trips into town.!!

Awesome Escape

Lots of fun! Brought the boat, zipped up and down the Suwannee, saw manatees, relaxed at Fanning Springs, caught lots of bream in the main river, dinner at Roy’s in Steinhatchee, dessert at Legends, and tubed down the Ichetucknee on the way out. Great stay!

Quick trip

Nice house on the water. The furniture and beds were comfy and we enjoyed having coffee in the morning on the rocking chairs on the back covered porch while watching mullet jump in the water. There is plenty of seating underneath the house with an extra bathroom for when you are wet, a grilling area, parking and big yard. The dumb waiter was convenient for taking things upstairs. We enjoyed the nice floating dock, paddle boat and kayaks. There is a public boat ramp right across the street and we walked right down the street to the Suwannee Belle restaurant for a delicious dinner.Laura is a great host! We would stay here again.
