Beautiful!
We loved our stay at Riverside Retreat! The home is light and airy with a fantastic porch. We spent a lot of time on the porch relaxing, enjoying the river view. The house is spotless and has everything we needed for our stay. Susan is terrific to work with, and was helpful with the house and suggestions for things to do and places to visit. We can’t wait come back next year!

Wonderful Withlacoochee Home
We enjoyed all aspects of our stay. The home was comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved the view of the river, the available kayaks, the bike and hiking trails nearby, and especially the kindness and hospitality of the hosts who lived next door.

Beautiful retreat with every wish anticipated
What a wonderful stay! The place is spotlessly clean, beautiful and right on the river. The owners are spectacular; every detail was thought out - for example, they had kayaks and fishing poles easily accessible and even stocked up on firewood! The kayaks alone saved us a lot of money as we would have had to rent them in town on a holiday weekend.

Fishermen’s Paradise
The location is beautiful and perfectly situated on the river. Always a shaded dock with breeze and views of the river and beautiful wildlife in the yard and in the river. The Bass fishing is world class. I caught two 11 lb and one 9 and 3 over 8 and a bunch more while there. The owners gave me tips on where to go to fish and put me right on the fish. The owners are wonderful people and we enjoyed so much meeting them. The dock had a safe place to slip my boat and power available for charging at night. It is exactly what you want if you want to experience Florida bass fishing at its best!

Gem of a find in central Florida
I almost don't want to share how much we loved our stay at the Riverside Retreat so we can keep this gem to ourselves! This could not be more restful and rejuvenating spot. The home is airy, open and very clean. Furnishings are comfortable and kitchen is well appointed. Beds are very comfortable! The property is riverfront with a dock and kayak access to paddling, boating, fishing and general enjoyment of this pristine section of water. Nature lovers and water enthusiasts will particularly enjoy this spot. The owners are friendly and helpful, checked in with us regularly and helped make our stay relaxing and memorable. We feel we left with new friends made and a place we will want to return to again and again!
