Quiet hours are from 9pm - 8am on weekdays and from 10pm - 9 am on weekends.

-Because the house is on the waterfront and I provide recreational equipment to use, I require that all guests please sign a waiver, release, and assumption of risk form prior to arrival. This requirement includes anyone who you invite on to the property during your stay as well. The form will be sent via DocuSign. Thank you for your understanding!

Beautiful spot on the river. Fully equipped with everything you might need. Kitchen well stocked, plenty of towels, etc. Loved kayaking on the river & watching/hearing the wildlife. Nice to already have kayaks, canoes, and bicycles. All in great shape. Justin (the host) was great at communicating & making us feel comfortable. 2nd time here. Will definitely stay again. We enjoyed listening to the birds from the back porch early in the morning too.

What a gem! The enclosed porch was heavenly for watching the storm that came through the last night we were there.. Enjoyed the river on the tandem kayak and tried our hand at fishing even though the river was low. Got some bites and my husband caught 2 bowfin fish on the bank. House was very clean and Justin was very responsive to our texts.

Justin's place is amazing. There is nothing you need to bring. There is nothing I would change, add, or need. If you want fun, it is here. You don't have to leave. If you want exploring thiis is a great place to be near all parks,walks,fishing,birds. Make sure you stay here if you are in the area.

Great location

Nice place to stay. The home has every amenity you could think of and then some. Enjoyed watching the river and birds, so many different bird calls! Only wish we had more time, I would have enjoyed kayaking the river (we were in the area for work).

Great stay at the River House

We had a wonderful time staying at the River House. We wanted a few days to relax and that's exactly what we did! The river was peaceful and the atmosphere of the house was amazing. Our family enjoyed our visit and would love to go back again!

A Lovely Spring Break and Bike Trip

We enjoyed the quiet location and natural setting of the River House. It was great being just a few minutes from the beautiful bike trails. Justin was a great, easy to communicate with host. The house had everything we needed and was spotlessly clean. We look forward to a return stay.

Withlacoochee get-away

Relaxing place to stay while exploring the area. Beautiful piece of property. Full moon was magical through the live oaks. Nothing fancy, but the bikes, kayaks and canoes are a fantastic bonus to the booking. The host has thought of everything. Hope to return next year!

Loving the Withlacooche House

This property is just absolutely beautiful! It's so peaceful and relaxing. The house itself is perfectly outfitted for couples, families or, in our case...a girl's crafting weekend. The only thing that we didn't like is that we didn't have enough time to stay here for a whole week. We will be back!!!

Peaceful Retreat

This house was a quiet and peaceful gem of a location. The house itself was more spacious than anticipated and very clean, functional, and comfortable. While we didn’t have a lot of time to take advantage of all the recreation opportunities, we did have a very nice kayak trip on the river. Hope to go back again when I have more time.

Nicely set up with everything you could possibly need, including kayaks, canoes & bicycles. We enjoyed sitting on back screened in porch & hanging out by the river. Will definitely come again. Just what we needed.

Paddlers’dream cabin

This property is gorgeous. Pictures don’t quite capture the majesty of the oaks and serenity of the water. Nice newer kayaks with easy access to the river. Cabin itself is super cute and had lots of little things you would need, oil, seasonings, etc…I actually would have planned more meals at the tasty Riverside Restaurant just up the road had I known how close it was. This was a great place to escape the hustle and bustle. I’ll be back for sure.
