Wonderful, beautiful & clean property with so much to offer! The living/kitchen area. easily accommodated our group of 8 adults, and 3 grandchildren easily. The water level is low (which we prefer) It made for easy paddles;Lafayette Blue Springs to the house & from the house to the Hal W Adams bridge offered beautiful sections of the river. We fished from the dock, played yard games and in Perry Spring, grilled, and had smores at the firepit.The kitchen was a little disorganized and we had to thoroughly clean the grill and smoker but those werent game changers when EVERYTHING else was considered.If you are looking to reconnect with family/friends, you wont be disappointed!All voted for "our best yet" & would return "in a heartbeat."
Great week with the family. House was fantastic. Very spacious very, very well stocked kitchen. Beds were all great. We were there the hottest week of the year but plenty of shade. Host was very helpful even sending us a text warning us about tje heat advisory. We would definatley stay there again.
This place from the drive up was amazing. It's spacious, the kitchen is well stocked, the beds are very comfortable.We had a great time on the river. The spring close by is where we spent most of our time. The property is huge and really well taken care of. I highly recommend this if you just want some peace and quiet.
The love, care, and attention to detail in the home and on the property are unsurpassed. The property is impeccably maintained, clean as a whistle, properly stocked, and comes with more to explore and activity options than anyone could hope for. I sincerely hope I have the good fortune to get to stay there again.
This place was the perfect getaway for a quiet, secluded, relaxing trip in nature. The property is beautiful, spacious and clean. It was a wonderful place to disconnect. Communication with the manager was great! Quick responses and super friendly and helpful! Thank you for a great stay!
We had such a wonderful & relaxing time at Green House River Ranch! The property is well taken care of and so beautiful! We loved the way the house has been updated & decorated. It was clean and well stocked as well. The springs right next door was an added bonus! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again!

Thank you Jared for staying! We’re so happy you and your family enjoyed it. Hope to see you soon.
Spent Thanksgiving holiday here with family. Was very nice place and having “spreading out room” on the property was wonderful. Afternoon games and a little fishing (didn’t catch anything but….) was the perfect getaway and no crowds to worry about like being at popular destinations. Owners very pleasant and easy to work with and despite the recent storms, the property was surprisingly well maintained. Would highly recommend for a getaway from it all.
Great place to have your family. Lots to do the kids never left. Only trouble we had was getting our handicap son up the stairs. Not recommended for the elderly or the handicap.. Everything else was perfect!
The property was very beautiful. The home was very clean which is extremely important to me. The owner always responded to questions in a timely manner. I would stay again!
Homes pictures don't do it justice even though it is adequately designed The scenery adds so much more this home is beautiful and the host has been more then accommodating everything was thought through to be able

Thank you so much Ashlee! Your welcome back anytime. The home and yard is so beautiful it’s like going to Walt Disney World but better!
This place was so amazing. The whole family had a blast and enjoyed every minute. Our host was so gracious and worked with us the entire trip with any little issues we had. The private spring right next to the property was the best surprise of all. Helped cool us down during the hot days.
Oh one of the prettiest places we have ever stayed at. A diamond a little re-in the rough. Beautiful sunrises walks by the river.with quiet meditation. Make no mistake a perfect place to get away to be at peace.

Thanks for coming! We’re so happy you fell in love with it like we did to.see you soon.
This place was truly magical and one of the best trips we’ve ever taken as a family. From the moment we drove through the gates, we were in awe. The property is stunning, with so many thoughtfully designed areas to explore and enjoy. We played capture the flag on the grounds, walked the beautiful trails, and picnicked in different spots each day thanks to the multiple swings and peaceful sitting areas throughout.The kids had a blast with all the games, both inside and out. Every corner of the home and property offered something new to enjoy. The house far exceeded our expectations. It is incredibly well equipped, beautifully maintained, and you can tell the owners take great pride in it, as they should. Everything was so comfortable, from the soft sheets to the layout with two master bedrooms, making it easy for our whole group to relax.The Riverview is breathtaking and having the spring just steps from the property made this stay extra special. We also visited Ichetucknee Springs and several other nearby springs during our trip. We will definitely be back. This was an unforgettable experience.
What a fabulous Thanksgiving on the Suwannee. A wonderful kitchen full of awesome smells and the chatter of family. An open floor plan with the Parade on and a wine fridge to support the mimosas flowing. The beds in every room were super comfy and the house and its grounds have a special energy that kept me and my family entertained - I never opened the computer up and that is saying something!
Jacqueline was an awesome and responsive host - as she was the last time I was here.I hope to be here again soon.
This place was amazing. First off the host allowed for an earlier check in for our group. This was much needed as our group was traveling from 2 different states. When we arrived we were blown away by the place. Property was beautiful and the house was amazing. Pictures could never fully encapsulate how great this place looks. Right on the river with a spring right next door. Bedrooms were large and sleeping arrangements allowed for all 8 people to have their own bed. The host answered quickly to all of our questions. We are a group who travel once a year to a destination and have bee doing this for years.....this was one of the best trips we have ever taken. We will be back.
Horrible we got kicked out for having family stop by, AC was not to be set below 78. We were there for a hour before getting kicked out do to having family stop by, in which I told her when we booked in was family event. Lady was rude

I’m sorry Julie that you failed to follow directions. But it clearly states on VRBO website that it’s 10 people Max no matter what. You brought over 40 people to stay at the house. I’m sorry you felt I was rude to you, but I was just stating the facts of the property rules. Which you failed to follow.
This property is amazing in size, location and activity. Lafayette Blue Springs State park is a short drive from the house and serves as a unique landing to float the day on the river back to the house. The spring next door is lively with turtles, fish and bubbling water from below. There was ample space, utensiles, cookware and toiletriesis for all in my party, and more than enough space around the fire pit. Jacqueline is a very responsive and kind host who made me feel welcome from the start of my booking. There was a slight discrepancy between the checkout time VRBO listed in email and that which Jacqueline instructed, but she was very understanding and we worked things out without issue. I highly recommend this house, property and host. It was a trip!

Thank you so much for staying Travis! You were such a please to host! Very clean and super easy to communicate with! Welcome back anytime!
We weren’t entirely sure what to expect when we booked this house; we mostly wanted to “get away” for a few days in the middle of nowhere. This house did that and more! The photos don’t do it justice - it’s beautifully decorated inside and the grounds are incredible. This was the perfect escape with lots of outdoor games (cornhole, horseshoes, a sandbox with trucks for my toddler to play with), plus a canoe and kayaks and a spring around the river. Going for a run and enjoying the outdoors here was so relaxing. The house is near many state parks, and there’s tons of natural springs in the area.
The wifi was a little spotty and when it went out for a few hours I texted and got an immediate response from the owner - this was over a holiday weekend and I was very impressed!
We’d love to come back next year for another escape!

Thank you so much for the kind words! So happy your family enjoyed their stay! We can’t wait to have you guys back😄so happy we got your WiFi back and running fast! We strive for top customer service! We always want you to feel welcome and at home while you are here.
WOW! Great house!
Planned on kayaking the Suwannee, departing from this house. Due to TS Elsa we watched the amazing river from our high and dry location - complete with great grill, corn hole, horseshoes and bikes for all age groups that visted and/or stayed at the house. Private hanging out in the hammock for quiet time - plenty of property for exploring. The kitchen was amazing. Plenty of seating for all. A great room for our younger visitors, enjoying the original pacman. After a long day outside in the Florida humidity, a great shower and plenty of towels for all. At the end of the day, having a great bed with quality bedding just topped it all off. I live close, so having this house as an option for future kayak gatherings inspires me. Can't wait to try again once the weather cools and to try out the firepit.

Melissa, Thank you for choosing to stay with us! I’m sorry that a tropical storm had to come at the time of your stay! But it was still beautiful for you to enjoy and have fun! We try and make the house so comfy with top of line linens and bedding. I’m a sucker for tons of towels😉
This is a very cool property “out in the middle of nowhere” as we liked to call it. It was very quiet and peaceful! The inside is completely renovated and beautiful. More than enough space for everyone. Keep in mind that one of the 3 bathrooms listed is outside- so really only 2 bathrooms inside the house to use, but that wasn’t a problem for us. They provide a ton of toys and activities for kids as well. The provided kayaks were very nice! You could also bring your own boat and they have a soft launch pad at the end of the trail. We brought all of our food for the weekend, I don’t think there were many restaurants close by. We really enjoyed the quiet, but never got bored! There are a lot of stairs up to the house. They do have an elevator, but not sure if they let people use that normally. Fun place for both adults and kids. We will definitely come here again!

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay Nicole! Can’t wait to have you back! You were a pleasure! It is so peaceful there and quite! We are always adding more toys and kayaks to the property! There is restaurants, I list them on the website and you can also email me for tips😊but it’s so fun to just grill out or have a camp fire or cook in the beautiful kitchen! Making memories is what it’s about! Elevator is down at the Moment.
