River House
The house and property were amazing. 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.

Relaxing Retreat
We spent a wonderful 6 nights relaxing and recharging at this gorgeous home. The natural beauty of the surroundings was breathe taking, from the view of the river, to watching the hummingbird while drinking morning coffee, to the grazing deer and the spectacular unobstructed view of the stars at night.

Had a great time once again at this house. Rum 138 picked us up at the house and dropped us at rum island so we could kayak back to the house! So much better going downstream 😊

UF Graduation Weekend
What a great time our family had celebrating our kid graduating UF! This property was perfect for us. Lots of laidback fun- tubing on the river, kayaking, frisbee golf, s’mores at the fire pit, lounging on the dock, etc… We saw otters, owls, hummingbirds, snapping turtles, deer, fish, snakes- we loved it all!

A slice of Old Florida Peace & Quiet
If you want to get away from it all. This works well. The Santa Fe river is in the back garden, we had canoes, tubing etc. Minutes from Ginnie Springs. It is isolated . Michelle was fantastic, welcoming and helpful. 3 of us are serious cooks , so a well stocked house with kitchen utensils was a pleasant surprise .

Great experience
The home on the river was great. Everything was very clean and well kept. Jeff and Michelle were awesome. If we needed anything at all they were there. They made us feel like we were at home. The wildlife on the place was a huge plus for us. Whitetail deer out the front and backyard every morning while drinking our coffee. The river and springs were beautiful and an experience by themselves. We will definitely be back soon. This was a laid back very peaceful vacation that was much needed!

Unspoiled Peace
Peace and serenity abounds! 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. Michelle was very responsive and friendly to our needs! We definitely look forward to staying again in the future!

Relaxing Family Vacation
The property provided everything my family and I needed to enjoy our time together - games, tv, tubes, kayaks, fire pit, etc. Although it rained the majority of our stay, we all managed to have a great time. The house was spacious and the property itself was HUGE. My dog (Rowdy) probably had the most fun out of everyone given that he has never had that much space to run around in his life! The owner (Michelle) made sure to check in on us a few times to make sure we were enjoying our stay and she was a delight. I would highly recommend this space and I hope to either be back here or enjoy one of the other properties owned by Michelle & Jeff very soon. - Alexus

Large yet cozy house on the river
We had a great 3 night stay! We enjoyed the house and it’s convenient location on the river. Got dropped off up river by Jeff and floated down to Ginnie Springs (had to get out early because of rain). Jeff was very helpful in picking us up early. The house is great to accommodate multiple people with plenty of bathrooms and lots of space. Huge yard for dogs to play and fenced in area as well. Only complaint was that on top of the $20 extra per guest I was charged an additional $75 cleaning fee for having a large group. Also I had to constantly reassure that we weren’t going to have a party with extra guests, which we didn’t. Overall it’s a great secluded space and we enjoyed getting away for the city to relax!
