Our stay at Dreamcatchers Cottage was exceptional, the cottage was clean with many amenities, the river in the back with canoes or kayaks to use. The hosts were amazingly welcoming and had everything you could need in the cottage. This was an excellent experience. 10 out of 10. Thank you so much.

Memorial Day weekend getaway

Everything was just wonderful. Hosts communicated quickly & were just great at making our stay memorable. Loved the back deck listening to the birds. My husband fished. I did some kayaking & biking. Lots of little things made the place special & it was very clean. Couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing weekend. We’re only a little over an hour away & would definitely book again.

Mr. Clean is a poor second to Pat

Clean and charming. With the Withlacooche River at your door and a wide number of bike and hiking trails close by you have the perfect location for innumerable outings. In addition you have I-75 fairly close so you have the perfect base to access most of Florida both north and south. After a hike , bike or kayak adventure enjoy a relaxing deck and backyard along the river to kick back with a cold drink and prepare dinner over the grill or over the campfire along the River.

Charming Relaxing Cottage on the River

My husband and I wanted a little getaway for our anniversary. We found Dreamcatcher Cottage about an hour from us and so glad we decided on this one! Patti and Dave are friendly and welcoming. They live next door but we had plenty of privacy to relax. They offered for us to check in early and stay late beyond the stated times. It rained the first two days so we enjoyed inside; very quiet and clean, lots of books and games to spend the time (there's a tv and vhs/dvd available as well, which we didn't use). Kitchen is well-appointed and had everything we needed. Backyard is spacious and private and so beautiful on the river. My favorite part was sitting outside at dusk by the river and just watching and listening to the wildlife and the wind in the trees. Saw blue heron, turtles, and a gator (who floated peacefully by). Across the street is a little restaurant that had great food and a friendly waitress. Lovely quiet little area. Thank you Patti and Dave! We will be back and will recommend to all!

3 days during spring break/bike week

Very happy with this rental. Everything was immaculately cleaned and of high quality. Owners were available but not imposing. Great location on the river close to two restaurants and the bike trail. We really enjoyed use of the boats provided and appreciated having wood readily available for a campfire. It was nice to be able to bring our four legged family members as well. The only drawback might be the proximity to the road, the sound of cars can be pretty loud, but all the other amenities outweigh that in my opinion and it wouldn't deter me from staying here again.

A dream vacation at Dreamcatcher Cottage!

My husband and I stayed the weekend here with our 2 boys ages 8 and 14 and could not have had a better time. The hosts were friendly, communicative, and very thoughtful. The river was amazing, the home was clean, they had every little thing we needed. This was exactly what we needed to relax and unwind. 10 out of 10, highly recommend!!

This is our second time staying in this lovely cottage just 3 blocks from where my brother's home is. We are planning on returning again next year. There are so many activities that you can do. One of our favorites was riding our bikes on the paved trail just a couple of blocks from the cottage.

About the host

Hosted by Patti & Dave

Host profile image
Dave & Patti Charnecki
We have lived here for 22 years.
We love hiking, biking and paddling the scenic Withlacoochee River.
We are so very blessed to have all of this beauty at our backdoor and, to be able to share it. It is truly, mother nature at her best.
Dave is a Trail Master on the Florida Trail and provides a tremendous amount of information to our guests wishing to explore the area.

Why they chose this property

The quaint little town of Nobleton hasn't changed much in the past 100 years. It is about a square mile. It is so tiny that we do not have RFD. We have to go to the Post Office to get our mail. Dreamcatcher River Cottage is adjacent to River Oaks Landing, a Local Landmark and, once General Store/Post Office which is now our home.
We make every effort to make Dreamcatcher Cottage your home away from home. It is well maintained.
Cleanliness is #1!
We love the peace and charm of the river and the beauty as the forest changes colors with the seasons.
