The area has the highest concentration of freshwater springs on earth, with two major rivers (the Suwannee and Santa Fe) forming the northern and western boundaries of Gilchrist County, and over 60 springs within or adjacent to the county.

                    This was our second trip here. This time we took Mom and stepdad for mothers day weekend.they loved it as much as we do. A quiet and luxurious cabin nestled in the woods on a bend of the Suwannee river. The home is so well kept that it looks like it is newly built, right down to the furniture. It gives me great ideas for decorating my own home. Its so peaceful hearing the birds singing and the humongous sturgeon belly flopping in the river. This place will slow your rate down and make you live longer. The small towns nearby are great to visit and to search for decorating treasures. The evening brings a new light with the wild night life of animals and creatures that you could never hear in the city. I love going here, and will go again

                    Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, adventure seekers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with young children.

                    Owner response: Wendy we certainly appreciate your glowing review. So many of our goals for Riverbend were mentioned and we do hope your family and you will be return visitors to our home. Thank you.
