About this house rental
Beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath home located on the historic Suwannee River. Get away from it all. Easy access to Fanning Springs (1.5 miles up river) and Manatee Springs (7 miles down river). Bring a boat, or two 2-person kayaks available for use. Great views from the deck and dock that overhangs the river. Very peaceful.
Most people that know the Suwannee River feel that the home's location is fantastic, and the best of all the options. The river in this area is very large and grand, especially compared to up river where it can be quite narrow and crowded. It's size makes it great for skiing, tubing, and boating, and dealing with other boaters isn't really an issue. It is far enough up river (about 32 miles by boat) that you don't have the biting yellow flies of the coast, but close enough to boat down to the coast and back for fishing, or spending the day on your own private secluded island beach. The area has very little development as well, so you get the real sense of being in "old world" Florida. It truly is a unique, wonderful experience.
Please note: cell service may be limited. We have wi-fi with Starlink. There is no cable TV, however, we do have ROKU TV's. You are welcome to log into your streaming services, but, please be sure to log out when you leave the home so other guests can't use your services. This property is quite rustic and remote, and is a great way to get away from it all. However, there is limited access to cellular phone service. Please understand the nature of your get away before booking.
Master bedroom with king bed, guest bedroom with king bed, and kids room with two bunk beds each with trundles. Easily sleeps 10.
One of the more common questions we get is regarding docking a boat at the property. You have a few options with regards to keeping a boat on the Suwannee River (flow of the river and boat wakes are a problem). Approximately 1/2 mile down the road from our rental house is a public boat ramp which is not very busy, and easy to launch/retrieve your boat. That is the preferred method and would take less than 30 mins.
Leaving the boat in the water with the current and other boaters creating wakes is possible, but not optimal. One option would be to tie the boat to the dock which is cantilevered over the river and anchor the aft section in the river (might require swimming to shore unless you are creative). There is room to keep a boat, trailer and vehicle at the property.

Nice location. Great time
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Oct 2025
the rental property was beautiful. the river dock was outstanding. unfortunately my eldest dog could not do the stairs so i had to stay elsewhere during that time. my son stayed with my other dog. he enjoyed the stay but there were loose dogs that intermittently came on the property making it difficult to just sit out with our dog. it was pretty and the host was great but if i had noticed the stairs in the picture i would not have rented it

The property is just as listed. Kitchen has everything needed. Beds are comfortable. Outdoors is just as listed. We really enjoyed sitting out on the deck. Our son lives in the area and we will definitely stay again!

Great view of river and lots of space in the home. Drive in was a little tight hor our boat but we made it work. Nice location for hopping on the river and spring hopping. Extremely well stocked kitchen supplies.
