"The deck and view were sublime! It will make you fall in love with the river, refreshing springs and lifestyle this part of Florida has to offer. We grilled, swam, snorkeled, tubed, hiked, explored, and caught up with the locals. It was delightful. This home is laid out and appointed really well and provided everything we needed to kick back and enjoy our getaway immediately. Thanks, Mark, for the cool digs and friendly ongoing communication. We will remember it all fondly."

8/10 Good
"I am very Grateful for Wesley! He helped me with all of my needs; originally I asked for another bag of wood and was told I would get changed $12 extra for it. But, they took 3 hours to bring it (almost close to 10pm) and I still needed to cook; and because of that, they accommodated me and didn’t charge me for the extra bag. Thank you! MY BIGGEST CONCERN. I stood in the Postcard Cabins in Georgia. They did not enter the property if we weren’t in there. We’re not provided with a do not disturb sign; yet the cabin was entered every time we were out to replenish. I’m grateful for always being replenished but in Georgia; they would leave the stuff on the outside picnic table. Not enter the room. If that is a possibility, then we should be provided with do not disturb signs because I had personal things of mine inside that I would’ve appreciated keeping private. Besides that, thank you postcard cabins! Another one off our check list, and thanks to Wesley we will be trying Alabama next; very informative and patient. Thank you!"
