KAYAKS:
We have some kayaks in the back for our family use. There is plenty of local kayak / tube rentals including right on our property you can rent a kayak or paddle board for $40/day.

KP HOLE ACCESS:
KP hole is the designated entry point for the vast majority of the patrons who want to get in or on the river. Entering KP HOLE cost $7 per person. However our property retains deeded access to the KP HOLE boat ramp right outside the entrance gate. What this is means is you do not have to pay to launch your water craft, (ie; kayak or boat) You do however need to pay the $7 if you plan on using the KP HOLE facilities. (TO USE THE KP HOLE BOAT RAMP FREE YOU WILL JUST NEED TO BRING THE PASSES WE HAVE IN THE UNIT LOCATED NEXT TO THE FRONT DOOR, IF ANYONE ASKS POLITELY SHOW THEM YOUR PASS.)

• KP HOLE is 0.2 miles from the bungalow. It is a 1 minute drive with free parking across from KP HOLE entrance or 6 minute walk.

• Rainbow springs state park entrance is a 2.5 miles away. Reachable by bicycle in 15 minutes or car in 5 minutes. You pay to enter the park ($5 per vehicle). (If you enter the spring head by kayaking up the river that is free but if you disembark your watercraft on enter the park it is $2 per person) They have a BEAUTIFUL swimming area at the spring head and gorgeous walking trails. (You cannot kayak, tube, scuba, or snorkel from this point) (only swimming is allowed in the designated area and you can bring a noodle)

• What WE like to do is; we drop our kayaks in at KP HOLE and we paddle upstream (current is 1mph) back to the spring head. This makes for an absolutely lovely adventure with beautiful scenery. The way back is very gentle as the current takes you ever so slowly back down river. If you take your time to soak in the serene surroundings this can take around 2.5 hours to complete.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
We stayed for one night to enjoy the River but when we arrived we were just blown away by how perfect the bungalow was. We felt right at home, beautiful decor that tied perfectly into nature, the comfiest bed I’ve ever slept on. The KP Hole ramp is right next door and was very easy for us to use and launch our paddle boards from in the morning. The water is crystal clear and looks exactly like the pictures, just absolute paradise. We loved every second at the bungalow and every second on the river. We cannot recommend this place enough. We have already rebooked for a long trip in the future!

Awesome Slice of Paradise
What started out as a last minute birthday celebration for my husband resulted in a really fun trip for the whole family. We planned kayaking to fill the days. From arrival, it was everything as listed and specified. The decor was beautifully done, comfortable seating in the living room and very clean overall. Equally important were the beds which we all thought were incredibly comfortable with luxurious bedding. My daughter didn't want to leave. Lucas provided passes to KP hole boat ramp where we were able to easily load up our kayaks and the property is ideally located and in a quaint community. Lucas checked in on us to see if we needed anything which was nice as he demonstrated a genuine concern to make sure our stay was 5 star, and it certainly was! You won't be disappointed in booking this bungalow, and we will definitely book again. Thank you Lucas for a most enjoyable stay!
