One of a kind house in an interesting area. We were confused about the river access and would have liked to have tubed directly on the Santa Fe River. However Ichetucknee Springs, both entrances, were very close. The house was big with lots of room for the grandchildren to explore. Area was quiet and house came with a well appointed kitchen such as keurig pods and spices. House was pet friendly. Host was a good communicator.

This place has everything for a family vacation. It’s clean, comfortable and the hosts have thought of everything in between to make the stay fun and easy. The access to the springs is perfect. But honestly my favorite part was cooking a family dinner in the huge kitchen with my brother in law, puzzling late at night with the grandparents, and games with the kids nieces and nephews. This place was the perfect place to make memories.

Lazy River Family Vacation

Plenty of room for the entire family (11 of us total with more beds to spare). Great location on the river. The access to the private section of the Itchetucknee was EXTREMELY nice! Kids enjoyed the slide at the dock, and the hot tub was a nice option as well.

Great get a way for big family group

This place is set up perfect for a big family gathering. We actually did not use many of the amenities because we attended a larger family gathering in a different location but it made us wish we had more time to play here! Great place at the end of the road. Quiet Enough to hear all the frogs and cicadas at night and watch turkey and deer cross the field in front of you as you sip your morning coffee.

Amazing riverfront VRBO with fun tubing run!

We loved our stay at this VRBO on the river! The location was perfect and the accommodations were spacious and well-stocked. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and playing games. The tubing run was a highlight of our trip – so much fun! The host was responsive and helpful. We highly recommend this VRBO for a relaxing getaway.

Itchetucknee trip

This house, the host, and the trip was awesome. We had neighborhood friends, family, and kids with us. There was room for everyone, great large kitchen area. Access to the private part of the Ichetucknee was so nice! The Stambaugh’s our great hosts, we can’t wait to do the same trip again next year!

Great home and location!

We had an amazing time at this property! The home is very spacious and has plenty of beds for a large gathering of family and/or friends. Our favorite part of the trip was included access to the private park for tubing down the Ichetucknee river. That amenity alone is priceless. We will definitely be renting this house again in the future.

The overall stay was wonderful. The location allowed you to swim right off the dock or tube down the river from the private parks within the subdivision. Plenty of sleeping for a large group. Lots of extras for entertainment such as indoor & outdoor games, hot tub. Very nice.
