This home was truly a hidden gem! Perfect for our family of 7-Easter dinner. At no time was it a crowd, as there are plenty of cozy places to lounge, indoors and out. There's a very nice foosball table in the living area where young & old were challenged continuously throughout our stay. We loved the dock and outdoors, where wildlife was abundant. We loved our stay and already looking forward to another visit. Great memories. The listing photos are accurate.

We loved the house and the property. Feels like a true river getaway, rustic, relaxing and very cozy. The dock is amazing, and I loved sitting in the morning and enjoying my coffee with nature. We will be back.

What a great stay. The house had everything we needed , even a very large pot to cook all the crabs in. The dock area was my highlight of the trip. You have power and also a good seating area and place to keep the dog when checking crab pots. Thanks George and Lacy….

This place was awesome, my husband and I got this place for the groomsmen for our wedding weekend and everyone loved it. It is secluded with enough room for our group of 10. The staff, Lacy and Paula, were amazing and available at a moments notice, even Lacy brought us fresh caught catfish! Couldn’t recommend this place enough!
Fantastic property on the St Johns River. Very secluded and quiet. The home has everything you need for an enjoyable stay, all boat hoists worked and were a nice addition. The dock was very welcoming and had plenty of room for all 6 of us to hangout and enjoy the water. Plenty of parking for all 3 trucks, trailers, and boats! Host was very responsive and answered any questions we had. Looking forward to coming back soon!
