Very easy check in/check out. Plenty of kitchen pans, dishes, utensils, and small appliances. Comfortable rooms and beds. The location is a gem! Quiet and peaceful river setting and convenient for short drives to many great places for fishing, beaches, springs. We plan on visiting again. Host has lots of towels which is great considering the river and proximity to Lafayette blue springs/ Ichetucknee springs for swimming!

Just What We Needed

Our stay at the river house was amazing. The space itself was well stocked, it was clean, the beds were comfy, and the view was beautiful! Our dog loved roaming around the yard and park picking up all of the scents:) Check in was simple and communication with Dorothy was smooth from start to finish. We loved it and look forward to another visit!!

Riverside getaway

My wife and i wanted to spend our 5 year anniversary somewhere quiet surrounded by nature, i will say we were so impressed with the property, not only was the living quarters beautiful but the location on the river was an anglers paradise, while we were there we caught 3 different species of fish, enjoyed some great dinner and at night got to gaze up at the stars, i would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a great getaway!!

River House Retreat

We really loved being right on the river. The grand girls liked being tucked away in the upstairs loft room at night and enjoyed fishing off the dock. Our hostess could not have done more to make us feel welcome and assisted quickly in our requests for supplies for our longer stay.

Awesome River House

We stayed here for a Crutchfield Brother's Fishing Weekend. Loved the house. Big kitchen made food prep easy. We fished off the dock and caught about 20 sun fish and catfish. We visited the nearby springs and watched football on Saturday. This house has everything you need.
