Central-Disney-Orlando Area

"We were looking for peaceful. We were needing to relax. WE wanted a place where our young teen boys could throw a line out and be able to run barefoot. WE wanted a lazy old rocker on a big porch in old Florida. We wanted the peace of a lazy river. We found PERFECT at The River House on The St. Johns River in Palatka Florida!! From the minute we opened the front door, and we could see out through the house to the big river, we began to forget all the stresses of South Florida and all deadlines and worries. The house is laid out wonderfully with the Master Bedroom and main guest bedroom and the living/ family areas all looking out at the most beautiful long green lawn down to the river! There is a very large well laid out kitchen with all the appliances and set ups that you could possibly need. There is a split bedroom plan so the parents had one side and our kids the other! The living/family area had the most wonderful big comfy recliners, sofas and easy chairs. Everything about The River House is about comfort, and relaxing!! Every morning, we woke up to beautiful views of the river while we drank our morning coffee!! Outside the entire back of the house is a huge walk around porch with old rockers and chairs. I loved sitting in the rocker and reading and watching the boys fish off of the big dock! WE were so content at the The River House, we never went out to eat! I couldn't get the boys to leave the dock!! WE ordered out from the Restaurant down the street our first night and cooked on the grill every meal after that. It was just to heavenly where we were to go anywhere else!! We did enjoy a beautiful day on the river by renting a boat and taking it down to Dunn's Creek. The weather could not have been more perfect. All in all, the entire four day visit was a home run!! We highly recommend The River House! WE hope to return many times in the future!!"
