What a great stay. The house had everything we needed , even a very large pot to cook all the crabs in. The dock area was my highlight of the trip. You have power and also a good seating area and place to keep the dog when checking crab pots. Thanks George and Lacy….

Thank you for your kind remarks. Please come back to see us.
We loved the house and the property. Feels like a true river getaway, rustic, relaxing and very cozy. The dock is amazing, and I loved sitting in the morning and enjoying my coffee with nature. We will be back.

This place was awesome, my husband and I got this place for the groomsmen for our wedding weekend and everyone loved it. It is secluded with enough room for our group of 10. The staff, Lacy and Paula, were amazing and available at a moments notice, even Lacy brought us fresh caught catfish! Couldn’t recommend this place enough!
Fantastic property on the St Johns River. Very secluded and quiet. The home has everything you need for an enjoyable stay, all boat hoists worked and were a nice addition. The dock was very welcoming and had plenty of room for all 6 of us to hangout and enjoy the water. Plenty of parking for all 3 trucks, trailers, and boats! Host was very responsive and answered any questions we had. Looking forward to coming back soon!
I feel so lucky to have found this place. It is a rare gem for sure. My husband and I stayed with his cousin and a group of friends and we rented both houses. It was very private and secluded and there were many things to do. Our favorite was checking the crab traps every morning. The house was very large and accommodating and the beds were so comfortable. We brought our motorcycles so all of the wide open space was perfect for parking trailers and all of the vehicles. George and Lacy were wonderful and quick to respond to any of our needs. We are definitely planning to come back.
We absolutely loved our week stay at this house, the owner is great with communication and they really treated us as great guest. The home was older yes, but you can see its cared for. Its so very homey and well furnished. Perfect location if you just want to explore the river and lake, central to several natural springs. Full kitchen was great. Calm quiet and peaceful, was perfect place for us to bring the boat from indiana and spend the week with our grandmother. Property is well taken care of and would absolutely stay again if the opportunity is there. Thank you so much for the hospitality and doing even small things like bringin us firewood to use on the super cool smokless firepit. I could go on and on about the sweet things this property has, go check it out! Thanks again!
