Mr. Mike was a wonder host and the cottage was just as described in the listing. It is by far one of the most beautiful locations you can spend a vacation. We would absolutely book again and would highly recommend this cottage. Mr. Mike could not have been a better host and the cottage could not have been more scenic and beautiful!

We had the best stay here! Cleanest rental we have stayed at! The river was magical and we spent most of our time on the deck taking it all in. The hosts were amazing, gave us privacy but very friendly and accommodating. The shuttle for kayaking can't be beat! We can't wait to stay again.

Truly the best rental! Everything you could ever need for your trip is available to you. You really feel so rested when you leave…which is very hard to do since it is so beautiful and peaceful. The hosts are amazing people and put a lot of thought into the property to ensure their guests are comfortable. This was not our first time staying here and it won’t be our last. We are looking forward to returning soon!

Our host's friendly greeting and amicable conversations were delightful! The first night we enjoyed a view of the full moon and stars as well as listening to the sounds of nature. The second night we fell asleep to the rain falling on the tin roof. The cottage was very comfortable and well-equipped with everything we needed for our stay.

A beautiful stay by the river

We had a very relaxing stay here- such a beautiful space in one of the most untouched natural Florida landscapes. Michael and Audrey were very accommodating and gave us plenty of privacy. Kayaking down the Aucilla River was unforgettable. Would love to come back and stay when we are in the area.

It is so much more than the listing and setting. If you are looking for peace and quiet this is the place. A little fishing and conversation with Mike, the host, were just what we needed. The visiting alligator and eagle were a treat. Kayaks were available to use at no charge and they would pick you up at no charge. We would stay again.
