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.
