Tranquil destination with quaint charm. Perfect location to chill to nature and feel the energy the river emits. A comfortable stay with a very reasonable price point.

The cabin vibe on the river is exactly what we needed to slow down, enjoy the peacefulness of nature and connect with eachother without losing comforts of home.
Sunset on the Suwannee River upon arrival was spectacular
Waking up with this view of the trees and river through these incredible antique doors felt so cozy.

We had a wonderful stay at Gator Haven! The property is well kept, neat and clean. The setting is so peaceful and serene. The property owners have done a great job updating and maintaining it. Our dog loved roaming the large fenced in yard while we enjoyed relaxing by the river. It’s just a very nice place that’s hard to leave!

This is my 2nd stay here and again I left revigorated and rejuvenated! Not only can you be with nature and listen to the beautiful flow of the Suwannee River but you can watch prehistoric fish (gulf sturgeon) jump from the dock. I come here to relax and FISH! The fishing is amazing. The last time I stayed I caught a 50lb blue catfish and this time the fish of a lifetime....... a gulf sturgeon!!! I will be back again soon :)

Loved the river

We had a great time on our trip to this river house. We visited the springs rented a boat and went fishing from the dock. The host was amazing and very friendly she was quick to respond and super helpful. Would highly recommend a stay here. Would definitely stay again.

So glad I found this place!

I cannot say enough good things about the property & owner. Beautiful place to stay, my daughter is only 3 and she absolutely loved it just as much as the adults did! Loved waking up to an amazing view that was also private and secure so thank you for providing a space for my family to stay. If available would stay here next time we visit the area. Thank you so much!

Peaceful Paradise

The house had just about everything! Corn hole was fun. The firepit was fantastic on the chilly nights. The star of our vacation was the river. Just being around the water and listening to nature all around us was peaceful and needed from our hurried lives. It really was perfection.

River trip

The host was great and easy to contact we had an issue but was quickly resolved. The lift was great for luggage. We rnjoyed having a dick to leave our boat tied up just wished we could have enjoyed the back yard stationary dock and firepit it was just alittle too hot and humid maybe next time.

Gator Haven

Unfortunately, it rained 3-4 days we were there, so we couldn't take advantage of the gorgeous docks and backyard. But, the house affords a full view of the river and property. We played games inside and took advantage of the deck in between rain storms. Easy check-in and check-out. The outside elevator was a perk, as my sister can't climb stairs. Overall, a great experience.

Paradise in heaven

This property is paradise. Its beautiful and relaxing! We had such a wonderful time. I caught the biggest blue catfish of my life right off the back dock and lost a couple more. Docking our boat was a piece of cake. Sturgeon jumping in the sunrise and sunset is astounding! The owners and Jeff (property manager) are wonderful people and at your finger tips when you need them. We were so sad to leave and cannot wait to come back.

Super Great Family! What a pleasure to host. Such an exciting stay for them with one of the biggest catfish I've ever seen caught on the dock. So happy for them.
