Build backyard fires under the moon and starlit sky or rinse off in the private outdoor shower. Recently remodeled, the main house features a downstairs master bedroom with king bed and master bath with soaker tub. Upstairs is another master with Queen bed and the third bedroom has a king bed and balcony overlooking the river. There are two full bathrooms plus a half bath in the main house. The living room and kitchen feature expansive windows, allowing you to indulge in the captivating sights of the Chipola River day and night.
