About this property

If you’re looking for a secluded river getaway this is your place!

Welcome to our home on 2 acres along the Suwannee River. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. The seclusion and quietness will draw you in and make the hustle and bustle of a busy world just disappear (if only for the weekend). Look out for the wildlife here. Lots of deer, turkeys, owls, coyotes and even a bobcat! So if you have small pets please don’t leave them unattended outside, but sit on the porch quietly enjoy the river view and listen to what nature has to offer. Also welcome to rural Florida. While we do provide once a month pest control you may still occasionally find a bug or web in the house. So be sure to bring your bug spray for outdoor activities as the mosquitos can get crazy in summer months. We have recently added two tandem kayaks to the property which can be enjoyed by guests for a refundable deposit. Not responsible for injury related to kayak use. Please contact host for more info. Failure to pay identify pets are staying before arrival will result in a $200 fee or cancellation of your reservation without refund. We do monitor cameras at arrival and departure for this reason. PLEASE READ OUR ENTIRE RENTAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT BEFORE BOOKING FOR MORE INFORMATION AND RULES.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

My wife and I always check reviews before booking a rental, however, we learned from this experience how important it is to check how recent those reviews are. Upon 20 minutes of checking in, we found an a live adult cockroach in the kitchen utensil drawer. The condition of this house was unacceptable to live in. The molding had thick dust, the cabinets & drawers were filthy, and all of the dishes had to be washed before using them along with the refrigerator shelves. The furniture was very dated and in poor condition and the chairs were filthy. The riverside deck was also dirty and had to be cleaned and the yard was neglected as well. As the evenings approached, the cockroach problem became significantly worse. We researched ways to eliminate cockroaches and bought the supplies to do that. We thought we could handle the cockroach problem ourselves. We kept a count of the 3 different sizes of cockroaches we encountered to see if we were making progress. Unfortunately the infestation only worsened. We had no idea that cockroaches could get into dishwashers and even the refrigerator which they did. The final straw was finding cockroaches in the bed with us. At that point, my wife was extremely distressed, and we had no choice but to leave. The host felt that we had complained from day one. We did ask for a working coffee pot and hair dryer since both of these items were listed in the amenities. This was a very disappointing and stressful experience for both of us.
dust on molding
cockroach in drinking glass
AC filter, caked with dust. Hadn't been cleaned.
Outlets were filthy. This one is above kitchen counter top.

Authentic Suwannee stay

We came to celebrate my daughter’s birthday with some nature time. We had a lovely stay. The owner was very upfront about damage from a hurricane so I knew I should expect it. There were downed trees and remnants of what looked to be a forest fire. The view on the dock was priceless! The two kids rooms were a bit warm.

Nice and quiet

When enjoyed our stay. Overall, the house was neat and clean and included several extras. We had friends a couple doors down with a vacation home, so they helped us maneuver around town. We were disappointed that there was no TV in the master bedroom as per the description. The property manager explained the last guests broke it. No compensation was offered. We would stay again.

The home was clean and roomy with updates throughout. The grounds are still a little rough from storm damage but the fire pit area and immediately around the house are in good shape. We were able to bring our pontoon boat and spent most of our time on the river. The review claiming bug infestation was off the mark - we didn’t see any while we’re were there.
The river was low but we could still tie up.
We spotted a deer early one morning.
A great location not far from Lafayette Blue Spring.

Peaceful Reunion

Our college kids drove south and we headed north for a quick get together and to celebrate the brothers 13th birthday. The setting was so beautiful and peaceful. Layout of the house was great for our family of 6. Spent lots of time soaking in the sun rays on the dock! Great hostess!

Great getaway on the Suwannee River

This was a perfect cabin getaway, and my friends and I enjoyed it immensely! We used the canoes, went to the nearby and nearly unknown artesian springs, swam in the Suwannee River, and sat on the private floating dock. I would definitely include in the information about the place that it’s located down roads that you should take your Avalanche down and not your AMG…

Great Suwannee River Stay!

My family & I absolutely loved this little slice of privacy! Very clean house & nice room sizes. Friendly neighbors & property owners! Tons of springs around to enjoy! Two right down the river both about a mile or two via kayak! Would recommend for a family get away to some springs.

Sweet, Reclusive Suwannee River Hideaway

This site was exactly what we were looking for. The hosts were great and were very responsive. The property was secluded, clean and exactly what you'd expect on this historic river. The kayaks were in excellent shape and well worth the journey. Two can fit comfortably in one so do sell that aspect of the trip short. There is some work to get the kayaks off the racks and down to the doc so test the weight prior setting your heart on the adventure. If you have a 4wd vehicle, making a left and heading north a fun alternative moderate off-road path back to civilization! Would recommend this site to all.

Peaceful family getaway location

This property is gorgeous inside and out! The outside of the property nice right off the river. At night you can see more stars than you can imagine. The inside of the house is huge (the pictures don’t do it justice) plenty of room to sit around with the family eat and play board games. I would highly recommend for a nice family getaway.
