About this property

River Front Retreat, 6 BDR, sleeps 16

Step out your back door to crystal-clear water, gently flowing past your private dock. With direct river access and 137 feet of river front, you’ll have everything you need for fun-filled days—4 kayaks, 2 paddle boards, and 20 tubes are included for your adventure. Float downstream or paddle up toward the Rainbow Springs Headwaters.



After a day in the water, gather the whole crew for a cookout on the grill on a large deck overlooking the water with bar and dining table accommodations. Afterwards enjoy the oversized outdoor fireplace, where seating for 14 guests makes it the perfect spot for stories, laughs, and gooey s’mores under the stars. You’ll also find a Jacuzzi and plenty of outdoor lounge areas to kick back and unwind.



This home is thoughtfully designed to provide both togetherness and privacy. Open-concept kitchen, comfortable living room, and beautiful finishes make indoor time just as special. The boathouse offers additional sleeping quarters—a unique and cozy experience just steps from the river.



Whether you’re soaking in the hot tub, grilling riverside, or watching the mist rise off the water with your morning coffee, every inch of this property is crafted to make memories.

This was a perfect house for our large group. The house was absolutely beautiful and well stocked with everything we needed to cook, relax and play on the river. It’s so wonderful to be right on the river whether sitting around the fire pit or tubing and paddle boarding.
