We loved the solitude of the cabin on the river. We were close enough to visit a few springs but were drawn back to the peace of the Chipola.

Life on the river

A truly amazing stay. Saw lots of wildlife on the river, and had a really great time grilling and sipping coffee on on the deck. Would love to stay here again.

5 Stars!!

Our weekend stay was absolutely perfect! The location on the river couldn’t have been better. We were able to launch our boat and keep it right at the property all weekend, which made going out on the water and returning to the house super convenient. The view was stunning and so relaxing. We only live a few hours away, so this will definitely be a go-to spot for future getaways. Can’t wait to come back!

Amazing slice of heaven right here. So much privacy. They have the best spot along the Chipola River. The kayaking was wonderful. We enjoyed everything about this lovely cabin. Cooked on the little grill, had a fire in the fire pit and roasted marshmallows for smores. Felt like we were staying at our grandma's house. So many personal family touches in the cabin. Everything in the kitchen you could need. Bring food because there is nothing close. Small grocery in Altha and another in Blountstown. Bed is firm but comfortable. Dawn was a great host and forgiving (because i made a booking mistake). We didnt want to leave and would love to visit again.

WOW!!! The hostess with the mostest!! When you arrive to your rental, and it is just like home. The styling of farmhouse is beautiful!! You have everything needed for cooking, cleaning,washing, relaxing etc.. I mean everything! Even extra towels and blankets. So for us that always bring everything with us, with Ms Dawn’s rental you dont have to. I would give 100 star rating if I could. Our week vacation was wonderful! Beagle approved by my service dog. Ms Dawn is the best host! Thank you
