The perfect getaway
The house was great, and the views of the river were beautiful. The kids enjoyed exploring, making smores around the fire pit, and being in the great outdoors. It was the perfect vacation and we would definitely stay again.
This place is amazing. They had tubes for us to use. It was a very short walk to the springs and right on the river. Everything was perfect. It was super clean, the outside shower was amazing. The birds were beautiful

Cabin in the Sky is a little piece of heaven
This is not the first and it won't be the last time I stay at the river house. It's beautiful. It's peaceful. It's clean. It's modern. Just perfect.

Response from VrboOwner on 16 August 2023
From the owner: "Thanks for the review. We’re so glad you got to enjoy that gem."
Great place to experience the Ichnetucknee Springs and surrounding area. Having the park next door worked out great for tubing and 4 tubes were provided at the cabin along with a kayak. My teenage daughters loved it. The owner Jenn was responsive to questions and April with Paradise Paddle Adventures hooked us up with shuttles to the neighborhood park and fire wood. Would rent again.
We have been going to this area for 26 years and this is the first time we rented a place. This place is perfect! I love that it is right next to the park that is at the end of the itchetucknee. We put in at the first park and floated to the last park and had a short walk to the house. Property manager was very responsive. House is beautiful. Loved the balcony. Definitely will be going back.
