A Great Location and View!
We had a wonderful time and the front porch view is phenomenal. Fishing from the dock was not fruitful but everyone had fun. It is an old house but very lovely. There are a few recommendations I'd make to owners/ property mgr but nothing that would prevent us from rerenting. Note, the front door sticks and 1st floor wood is warped, severely in some cases, which could hender an elderly person. Kitchen and bathrooms are very modern, which is nice. People left lots of spices, rice, coffee, tea, etc. It would be nice to have labels on remotes and light switches. It's a great location spot as you are 30- 2 hrs from a lot of tourist spots. It is a small, up and coming town, with some great breweries, wineries, bars and restaurants within walking distance, as well as Ravine Fardens just a few blocks away us from re-renting; front door stocks

Wedding Party
It was wonderful to have a place so peaceful and cozy to sit around and reminisce with family we haven’t seen in a long time. Very clean and so easy to just sit back and relax. Loved the sunrise from the dock!

Palatka Downtown and on the River
Great house in a great location. The house was roomy and beautifully decorated / outfitted. We had 4 adults and had plenty of room to enjoy the premises. Great views of the river and early morning sunrises. Secure parking in the back and a fenced back yard. It was a short walk to dinner downtown and to the parks along the river in Palatka.

Amazing River View
This was absolutely the perfect place for our family to have enough room to sleep as well as entertain family and friends who lives in town. It also has many places for the kids to hang out, play games or even sit in solitude. The views of the river from both the porch and front window were picture perfect. We will absolutely stay here on our next trip to Palatka.
