That was very weird how the August lock worked with your code and then didn't, but I'm so glad we got you in quickly. so that your stay was not affected. Thank you for being a great guest, and we would love to have you back!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!
