The house is just as pictured, beautifully furnished. Good location to just get away from it all! Next time we will stay longer and do more exploring at the Springs. Very nice for getting refreshed!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home over a romantic getaway weekend. The property exceeded our expectations in every way.Communication with Jaganatha (host) was excellent, and both check-in and check-out were seamless and straightforward. The home itself is exceptionally spacious and tastefully decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The bed was extremely comfortable, providing a restful night’s sleep. The kitchen was particularly well-equipped, a highlight for my girlfriend, who enjoys cooking. We appreciated the thoughtful selection of appliances and utensils that made meal preparation seamless.The location is ideal—secluded, quiet, and peaceful, yet easily accessible. Its proximity to the springs offered the perfect balance of privacy and convenience for our visit.We would highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a relaxing getaway.

Great place to stay! Quick response with host, clean property, quiet little retreat. Great amenities on the property and located within many springs. Especially good for divers up for training or out diving some fresh water. Close to the manatees. Will definitely stay here again for any further training we have in this area or any diving in this area. Highly recommend this place and this host.

This was my first time using vrbo and I would just like to say how wonderful our experience was. The home is beautiful and was so much more than we expected. Our host was very attentive to replying to our message and making sure we had everything we needed and we were comfortable. If you want to visit Ichetucknee springs this is the place to stay! It was so easy to get to the springs and come home after to relax. We had a wonderful time and We all wish our lives would have given us more time to be able to spend here. The property allows you to grill, roast marshmallows and even play volleyball. Thank you from all of us!

Perfect house for a family who wants to Tube the Itchetucknee!
We were a family with 3 grown boys and a grandmother. The house was perfect! It was as the boys called it “showroom ready”,but still very comfortable. We checked in easily and the boys loved the big backyard for volley ball and blitz ball. The beds were very comfortable and they even provided a cot, which was not needed in our case but nice for an option. The master bath was very spacious. The tub had a bit of a drainage issue but it wasn’t terrible and the toilet handle needed to be held down to fully flush. The water pressure for the shower was awesome though. There were some spices and coffee and tea provided which was nice. I’m a kitchen towel kind of person and only paper towels were provided so I thought maybe a couple of kitchen towels might be handy but not necessary. All in all this is an excellent home to stay in for a tubing/kayaking trip on the Itchetucknee. It was only 4 mins from the North entrance (kayaking and main spring side) and about 13 mins to the South entrance (tubing side). There were not many options for restaurants or grocery stores nearby but if you love to cook, the kitchen was stocked with everything you need to make a great meal. Thanks for an amazing, stress free stay. I will definitely be book marking this house for future trips. Ps I folded the sheets that were in the dryer and put them in the master closet. Sorry, I was going to write a note.
