We went to spend time with family and this place was great. The best stocked kitchen that I’ve stayed in so far, which important to me. Everyone had a blast here. Highly recommended!!!

Great stay for FSU orientation
This property was great, just as described and the owner gave us lots of fun ideas to enjoy during our stay. Our favorite was swimming at Cherokee sink. The water was beautiful teal green. We took tubes for floating and the teens enjoyed jumping off the rock and jumping from the tree. The house was stocked with everything that we could possibly need. Even bug spray was cleverly placed outside on the posts to use. Would stay here again when I need to come back to FSU.

Great Getaway with Friends!
We enjoyed a wonderful stay on the Wakulla River. The house is exactly as pictured and well-appointed. The host was easy to work with and provided lots of great information. We spent most of our time kayaking and relaxing. We only left the house for dinners! Highly recommend the Edward Ball Dining Room at the Wakulla Springs Lodge - make reservations! For BBQ - Hamaknockers in Crawfordville. We had a great time! We will return again!

Great Grad Weekend spot
John was super easy to work with and answered all questions quickly. The house was clean and quiet. We were there for graduation at FSU so did not get to enjoy the river or the area but would love to go back. We did go to Trident Restaurant in Panacea per his suggestion and it was awesome. Definitely would go back.

Peace and fun on the river
This was not our first stay at this peaceful river getaway. As in previous visits, the owner was very responsive and accommodating, the house was comfortable, and the location was wonderful. The owners provide lots of homey extras to try to assure a relaxing visit. Thanks again.

Practically perfect in every way
All the wonderful reviews about this property are true. Once you check in, you will never want to leave (unless a hurricane is on the way, like it was for us). You just have to go and see for yourself.
