We had a great time staying here. Amazing views of the river. Close to springs. Not too far from Steinhatchee where we went scalloping. 10/10 would stay here again.

What a beautiful little retreat! My only complaint is that it was just a very short two night trip and I wish I had had more time there! The property, the river, even the driveway in is just gorgeous! I highly recommend this rental.

This place was perfect in every way. Very quiet and peaceful. It is a cabin in the woods and it was just lovely. The river views were spectacular and the sounds of the birds were like a symphony to us city folks. We saw two owls in the trees on the property! Truly a hidden gem. They had a fully stocked kitchen and two refrigerators! Only thing I'd recommend is bring your own salt :) plenty of pepper and other spices.

We loved our long weekend away at Suwannee River Retreat! The house was clean, spacious and updated nicely. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed: pots, pans, utensils, etc. It was the perfect hangout spot in the mornings while we made breakfast. All the rooms were spacious and very comfortable. Plenty of room for a large family. The dock was our favorite part, though; we spent several hours relaxing out there, enjoying the peace and quiet of the river. The check-in and check-out process was easy, and the only two things we needed to do before leaving were strip the beds and take out the trash. We will definitely be back!

Amazing gem of a place!

Absolute gem of a vacation home! Comfy beds and furniture, everything we needed in the kitchen, private location, wifi worked great (didn't seem slow to me even though in a remote rural area), excellent communication from owners. Looking forward to a future stay!
