About this house rental
If you are looking for family fun or unique adventurous vacation then check out the Suwannee River in North Florida. A boater's paradise and well kept secret among seasoned travelers and avid boaters. Anglers love to get to the fishin' hole quickly in the NO no wake zone hundred mile long navigable river. Speed boaters zoom by in the no speed limit smooth glassy waters where you will scarcely hit the wake of another boater. Away from the coastal beach crowds the river is a welcome refreshment in the summer heat. Fed by dozens of springs the Suwannee is highly protected and undeveloped. Skiers love the glassy, uncrowded conditions.
The State of Florida owns most of the riverfront and that makes it both special and secluded from crowds. You will find few homes and very few rentals on this river because of its protected status. See the 'Real Florida' Come see what inspired Stephen Foster to write the state song 'Way Down upon the Suwannee River'. See our website for more info.

Great weekend on the Suwannee! The spacious dock was perfect for keeping our boats on the water for the weekend. Thank you for offering your home for others to enjoy. Would love the opportunity to stay there again!

Wonderful place to stay

Host is trying to charge $50 extra for a cigar left outside. No burns and, looking at the picture, not sure it was ever lit. One “burn” on outside cushion. Again, from the picture appears to be ash that needs cleaned. These are the only incidents being alleged for this extra charge.
Other than that everything else was fine. Great location and accommodations! Good communication with the host until the end. Get ready for that drive down the dirt road… It’s not too bad.
Mixed experience.

Excellent, but don't waste your money on the renters insurance...its a scam and has nothing to do with the hosts.
