The place is very nice...overall a great place at a great price. Fit my needs very well.went home with plenty of crab and shrimp, but a few concerns worth mentioning. The seal on the refrigerator is no longer tight, constantly having to push tighter or check if sealed. plenty of sleep space, However , the queen beds leave something to be desired. Master has large dip in the middle overall uncomfortable .Lastly, website is incorrect on checkout time. Email confirmation noted 1pm, actual check put is 11 which is posted at the house

The place is nice and clean. The temperature of the water during showers wasn’t easily regulated. Especially if someone used water elsewhere. Seemed like the ac struggled during the hottest part of the day. But it quickly cooled off as temperatures lowered outside. Would come back and use the property again.

Amazing vacation

The property owners and the people who over see the property were a pleasure to deal with. We have been coming to Lake George for over 30 years. The location was perfect. We will be booking again here as often as we can get away!

River Paradise

This property is perfect for a quiet weekend on the river. After a long driveway from the main road you pull up to a retreat of paradise. We also enjoyed the private dock that it comes with.

We had the most relaxing stay at St. Johns River Retreat unit 1 for my husbands birthday fishing getaway. The home is an older mobile home however it 100% met our needs as a pet friendly, million dollar view, fishing vacation with the most relaxing atmosphere. Host George was friendly with prompt communication. And property manager Mr. Lacy is a total gem! He was so friendly and helpful during our stay. The area is rural and the house location provided the privacy and serenity we were looking for. My only complaint is that there needs to be a hammock or lounge type chair outside to take advantage of the complete relaxation We loved our time there and will definitely keep this as a favorite. Thanks so much

The unit is remote with a beautiful view of the water. Unfortunately, the unit is dated and needs updating and wasn’t as clean as we expected. Overall, we had a good time and enjoyed our time. Fishing off the dock was amazing!

Loved the area and the location of the house! There is some mold in the bunk room and in the hallway bathroom that needs attention, update the showers (more water pressure as well) and replace the mattresses. Generally speaking it was clean, easy to find and well furnished. Also shout out to Mr. Lacy for taking the trash off for us and for bringing me the key on day one.

Secluded hideaway with stunning views

We joined family to stay on this property for 3 nights and wish we could have stayed longer. We spent endless hours just relaxing, watching the birds, enjoying the breeze off the water. Totally quiet and secluded. The property is huge and the view across the St. Johns River is toward the Ocala National Forest, so you're only looking at trees and moss, not condos and traffic. We highly recommend if you want to really get away from the noise and hustle and bustle of everyday Florida. Truly unique and delightful.

Loved the view. AC needs updates. Home was almost unbearable in the afternoon. Had to keep blinds closed entire time which was unfortunate as the view was the best thing about property.

Reunion with friends from High School

Everything was really good, and we enjoyed our stay, but the smell of sulpher in the water was too much for us to take and to plan another trip to this location until that is fixed will not happen. Lacy was great and the place was good except for the smell. Showering and brushing our teeth was an awful experience.

There is nothing we can do about the sulphur well water - so sorry - as soon as the county can provide water to our area we will sign up right away. I try to warn about the well water. So sorry!
