The location is incredible.The suwannee river here is paradise. Waking up & seeing deer grazing in the yard starts the day right.Listening to owls hooting doesn't get better.The house is fully stocked with all needs. Having the downstairs screened is a plus along with the extra bathroom. We spent alot of time on the upstairs deck watching sturgeon jumping. Will be back!!!!!! Thank you.

Amazing property in a beautiful setting! Highly recommend!

We spent two weeks at this delightful property and enjoyed every minute of it. The scenery is incredible--we sat outside on the deck or porch every day and watched the river flow by. Just beautiful! The house is charming and had everything we needed. The host was very responsive and helpful. The area is quiet and peaceful, a great place to relax and unwind. We enjoyed our stay so much that we are planning to return next year to this wonderful property!

Great vibes. The stay was amazing. Close to town, yet very private and serene. Kitchen was well stocked. Canoe and paddleboat were great amenities. All the comforts of home in a perfect relaxing environment. Was just what we all needed.

An amazing place you won't regret renting.

If I could give this place a higher rating, I would. This place comes with absolutely everything you need and more. Nicely decorated and very well stocked. It has everything that you could need from linens, cookware, utensils, grill, games, ample seating, cleaning needs, and a beautiful screened in downstairs patio with tons of seating. It also has a beautiful dock that is very easy to get to. Teresa the host is amazing. If you have any questions, she gets right back with you right away. My family and I plan on going back several times. We LOVE this place.

Great stay at Floats My Boat

My wife's parents live close by in McAlpin and we need a place for ourselves and our 2 grown girls and one boy-friend. We really loved the place. It was very nice and clean. We didn't get to use the canoe or the paddle boat, but we did make a fire two of the nights in the fire pit and had smores! The place is very peaceful and quiet. We did take my in-laws over to the place and they loved it as well. The host was awesome and we had no problems communicating with her. We would definitely stay there again.

Excellent trip

Needed 3 days in N Florida on way south. Float the boat worked great, secluded away from people, beautiful river view. Warm, comfortable, well equipped, clean, lots of upgrades. Only minor negative could use better deck and outside lights around house, fire pit and dock area. But still great and would definitely go back.

Perfect House, Perfect Location

We had the best time. This house is in the perfect location for Spring Hopping. It was so decorated so charmingly with lots of little extra details. We built a fire in the outdoor pit, played corn hole on the boards that were provided and enjoying coffee on the deck watching the boats go by and the fish jumping out of the river. We have already booked another stay! I highly recommend this location if you are thinking of visiting this area. It was PERFECT.

Love the old Florida vibes

Love the location! Amazing house to hangout at the river….next time we would probably stay during the winter to utilize the fire pit. The only negative thing for us were the huge ants in the house. There were big dead ants in random places and also alive, some crawling on the toilet. Other than that we loved it!

Everything was as described/pictured except the lock code provided for check in was incorrect but maid was just leaving when we arrived to check in at 4p and my hubby chased her down road to get the right code. Haha All well and owner apologized. Property has been updated, pics do not reveal the LR is now a BR and the right side of deck is now enclosed as the new LR. I like the deck smaller and cozier, new furniture too. We spent alot of time on deck. Did not use the enclosed downstairs at all except for fridge for the addl cold drinks. We didnt have to lug up stairs. :-)Firepit space was absolutely awesome! We used it alot as it was chilly on our visit. Would be great if there was a shovel and receptacle to dispose of ash to keep pit cleared. Suggestion?Also, as an FYI the 2nd hall bath shower handle is really tough to turn.kitchen had everything except a wine opener, we bought one at dollar store as owner suggested and left it for next guests, not a big deal to us.We boated one day due to weather did hike 2x through the woods and saw LOTS AND LOTS of deer! Played corn hole too! Doggie loved the yard space.Really great place, will rent again! Thank you!
Great fireput
Exterior to show enclosed part
We decorated deck for our stay only. Lol
New living from part of deck enclosed. That picture window needs bamboo blinds or some for West setting sun
