Welcome to our home on 2 acres along the Suwannee River. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. The seclusion and quietness will draw you in and make the hustle and bustle of a busy world just disappear (if only for the weekend). Look out for the wildlife here. Lots of deer, turkeys, owls, coyotes and even a bobcat! So if you have small pets please don’t leave them unattended outside, but sit on the porch quietly enjoy the river view and listen to what nature has to offer. Also welcome to rural Florida. While we do provide once a month pest control you may still occasionally find a bug or web in the house. So be sure to bring your bug spray for outdoor activities as the mosquitos can get crazy in summer months. We have recently added two tandem kayaks to the property which can be enjoyed by guests for a refundable deposit. Not responsible for injury related to kayak use. Please contact host for more info. Failure to pay identify pets are staying before arrival will result in a $200 fee or cancellation of your reservation without refund. We do monitor cameras at arrival and departure for this reason. PLEASE READ OUR ENTIRE RENTAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT BEFORE BOOKING FOR MORE INFORMATION AND RULES. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - DVD player - Games - Smart TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - On a river - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Spelunking nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Deadbolt lock ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27130000/27128700/27128696/e0dfec7c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### BEACHFRONT!

Overall, the house was neat and clean and included several extras. We had friends a couple doors down with a vacation home, so they helped us maneuver around town. We were disappointed that there was no TV in the master bedroom as per the description. The property manager explained the last guests broke it. No compensation was offered. We would stay again. ##### David B.

We used the canoes, went to the nearby and nearly unknown artesian springs, swam in the Suwannee River, and sat on the private floating dock. I would definitely include in the information about the place that it’s located down roads that you should take your Avalanche down and not your AMG… ##### Pamela J.

The hosts were great and were very responsive. The property was secluded, clean and exactly what you'd expect on this historic river. The kayaks were in excellent shape and well worth the journey. Two can fit comfortably in one so do sell that aspect of the trip short. There is some work to get the kayaks off the racks and down to the doc so test the weight prior setting your heart on the adventure. If you have a 4wd vehicle, making a left and heading north a fun alternative moderate off-road path back to civilization! Would recommend this site to all. ##### Joseph R.
