Right on the Santa Fe. We spent most of the evenings at the house but had a rain/rest day and the amount of things to do just at the house were amazing. The property managers did a check in during our stay which I had never had before so it was nice in the event any question arose. We are already planning our next trip. ##### Ashley K.

Easy walk to dock and water or the open land to play. Fantastic secluded space for a getaway. We had 6 adults and this was perfect for us. Clean rafts and toys stored in the enclosed lower level or what I would call the Florida Basement. Lots of deck space to spread around people if you need a break from your trip associates. Location central to enjoying the area springs. ##### Anne T.

This house is in an amazing location. The hosts are very nice and accommodating. Jeff and Michelle took 6 of us on a jet ski tour and we had so much fun! We used the tubes that were available to float the river. The house has so many extras like floats, life vests, kayaks. We saw deer on property everyday. I can’t say enough great things about our experience. Would definitely stay here again. ##### Paige S.

The pictures do not do the property justice. So private, quiet (except for our kids) and close proximity so so many springs. Kids loved the downstairs playroom with the ping pong table. Fire pit, grand live oaks, disk golf course, deer, owls. The mornings were so tranquil with the birds and so quiet. Stars were amazing at night. They have numerous kayaks you can use. We felt like we were staying on an old southern plantation. The house is older style Florida river house which was perfect. Nothing fancy. We especially loved the giant sunroom overlooking the river. ##### Shane Z.

Very spacious. All of the rooms are good in size and have good privacy, but also well connected to the main parts of the home. The sunroom is amazing!! It was the room we spent all of our time in just watching the river. The kitchen is very nice and easy to cook in with plenty of dishes and needed cooking items. The home is set back on the property making jt very private and ideal for getting away from the world. Wonderful place to stay, and the hosts were awesome! Quick to respond and very helpful and willing to go above and beyond to make your stay even better! ##### Tiberius D.

Plenty of space & comfort for each of us! We all were there on a 'racing' trip with our Team of 2 cars/drivers (cars stayed at the track & never brought haulers to home.) Being able to have coffee on the dock in such a peaceful enviroment on the river, was sooooo nice. A few of us were able to sneak in a short kayaking trip, ping-pong challenge, & Pac-Man. But most of our trip was us ladies keeping the guys going & the guys at the track doing racecar things. Each of us commented on how fun it would of been with other spouses to enjoy more of the property/facilities & fun this listing has if time would've been allowed on our part. The care the owners showed us with a few calls & texts was truly appreciated. Thank You for such a gracious stay. ##### Tracie G.

This property is amazing and has everything you need for your stay! All the light switches are labeled, making it easy. It was just my husband & dogs on this trip, but there is plenty of various games (board games, jenga, ping pong, pac man, horse shoe pit, disc golf, etc.,), river tubes, kayaks, etc., available to keep the family entertained. There is a nice fenced area for the dogs, and they even have some pet bowls available to use for food & water. The massage chair was a nice treat! You can get groceries delivered by instacart (just make sure that you include a decent tip to make it worth the shoppers time to deliver so far away.
