Peaceful place on the river
We enjoy staying at this peaceful house on the Santa Fe River. The boys enjoyed fishing and it’s not far from Ichetucknee Springs tubing. We have visited on more than one occasion. I cannot say enough nice things about the host! They are quick to respond and the amenities made our vacation enjoyable. Hope to visit again in the future.

Perfect Stay
We stayed at the property for a girls’ weekend and a small baby shower/BBQ. The property was perfect, and we had a wonderful time swimming in the river, playing corn hike on the bank, and sitting around the fire pit. We’ll come again and bring our paddle boards for a weekend of paddling next time!

Close to the Springs.
Our group was in town for a few days of diving in some of the area springs. The house was very clean and a really relaxing place to be when we had down time. We are putting this house on our list for the next trip.

It was exactly what we were looking for. A quiet place on the river. If you wanted to, you could float from Ginnie Springs to the backyard. A great place for star gazing.

Wonderful property on a beautiful river! The house was fantastic for my wife and two kids. The best part was waking up and taking a walk with the many deer out front. Very quiet and away from any traffic or city noise!

Looking out the back window is a real treat and the view just keeps drawing you outside. The house held the six of us well. We enjoyed our meals and game time around the ample sized dinner table. Life here is good, and the numerous springs around the area are beautiful for water activities.

Great location to enjoy the springs!
Great house, right on the Santa Fe River. Spacious with room for everyone to spread out. Fire pit for the evenings and great kitchen for meals. This house is not near any grocery stores so plan ahead. We did and enjoyed our stay. We visited Ginny, Ichetucknee and Fanning springs all close by the home. Thanks Cooksey family
