RELAXCATION

The road driving to and from the boat house was awesome!! I can not begin to tell you how fascinated we were to see the variety of animals that popped up along the way, not to mention to have seen them in Florida. The river house was beautiful, clean and so, so comfortable. The porch with the view was just so amazing. You seemed to get lost in the day as well as loosing track of time, without a care either way. The private dock was absolutely awesome! We had rented a skiff for a few days and then a pontoon. It worked out great, very easy access, and had bouys that were already in place. The covered dock was a very nice area to hang out as well! Nice breeze in the evenings, had a grill, outdoor bar, fish cleaning station, ceiling fans and lights for added decor. NICE!!!!! So many things you can do in Steinhatchee and so many good places to eat. Heming’s Way coffee and Tacos ROCK!!! All in all, I highly recommend the boathouse retreat!! Beautiful, clean, and private!!! The owner was extremely exceptional and so kind. Went out of his way to make our stay comfy and to let us know if anything was needed he was there for us!!! We will definitely be back!!!!!!!! One more thing - this town is all about the GOLF CART!!!! Rent one - it was a blast!!!!!!!! I loved it!!! Filomena, Seth, Hannah, Nick, and Gracie

Peace & Quiet

Great retreat for a long weekend. Wife and friends enjoyed the place like no other. We always travel in a group, taking turns finding the best places. This place is a little goldmine. 50-60ish that thinks we are in our 20ish and had a blast. This place has everything you need. Pretty much a new house with recent upgrades. A boat dock was my initial search. This place has a dock on the river which is 2 miles from the gulf. Boating was absolutely wonderful. House had all you could wish for, washer, dryer, coffee maker, grill, firepit.....etc....etc. The balcony is a great place to enjoy your morning brew. It was the gathering place in the morning. The bar in the boathouse was the gathering place at night. Gates make for a nice secure feel. Beds were very comfortable. Everything worked as it should. Small nook on the property where a stream exits into the river gave us a wonderful treat....up close and personal with 2 manatees that where holed up in the stream. Just the peace and quiet of the place makes it worth the trip. Not overrun by tourism, this is not a jumping town if that is what you are looking for. I can say that the property alone is worth making it a destination. About a mile drive from the main road on a dirt road and only 2 properties at the end of it. Just sitting at the boat house watching boats go by was a nice view. Fishing off the dock was another past time.....and having a few drinks only made the experience all that more enjoyable! Owner was also kind enough to give me a few tips and pleasant to deal with. Make this your next go to vacation, BUT NOT WHEN I'M THERE!

Fun for all

The Boathouse Retreat provided a wonderful relaxing atmosphere with the best dock and yard set up. Weather kept us from being able to enjoy all the amenities, we would stay there again.

Boathouse is Fantistic

This rental has even more than advertized. We were surprised to find everything advertised even better. The house was clean and updated. Great vacation. All in our family would like to come back. Ray was a great host. Very easy to work with.
