Very laid-back peaceful vacation. Kitchen was well equipped. Note that nearest grocery store is 50 mins one way. The dollar general does carry some groceries but not a lot of selection. We did canoe on the river in several spots and went out on the flats fishing and caught red fish and trout. House was very clean. Only quirk is master bathroom has no shower; it has a spa tub with a handheld. The other two baths are tub/shower combo. Guests with mobility issues should be aware. It was a great trip and the house and it's surroundings we're beautiful.

Thank you so much for the review, it is definitely a small town and our grocery store got hit really hard last year. A few places are trying to pick up the slack like the dollar store. Pirates Bounty now has groceries and that is across from family dollar. We are so happy you were to have a peaceful vacation and able to catch some fish!

About the host

Host profile image
Dan and Heather have been coming to Steinhatchee for years to go fishing and scalloping. We decided to buy a place of our own so we can spend more time here. we are not ready for full time so we decided to share it with others so they can make memories as well. I hope you all enjoy the Hatch House as much as we do!

The Hatch House has some of the best views on the river. Across the river from us is a lush wooded forest and wetlands owned by the state. We have a boat ramp on the property so you don't have to wait at the ramp. There is room for your trailer too! We have a 30 foot floating dock with plenty of water in any tide.
