The only minor complaint we have was that the TV in the room attached to the balcony was not working. We noticed the red was a platoon boat in the property. If it was working it would be a nice to be able to rent it for the day or time spent on the property. The land was amazing. Nice to see fruit trees on the property. The amount of kayaks available for large groups was also nice. Having a couple of double kayaks would be a plus, especially for smaller children who cannot kayak by themselves. Compound style house was a plus. Multiple beds in the rooms for large family is a great idea. The house was is great for large families. We had 12 and we were extremely comfortable. Location on the river was amazing. Very close to downtown Dunnellon.

This is a lovely property in the absolute best location on the river. The host really understands what is needed for a large group. Having 3 refrigerators was great as we brought meals to cook for the entire 4 days. There was plenty of cooking utensils and even a variety of spices and herbs. A handful of my guests traveled on motorcycles, so having kayaks and tubes available for our group was also very much appreciated. You are so close to the state park, KP Hole, the main dive spring, the Gissy Spring creek run, and a cute little cove that you can set up a hammock at. The sleeping arrangements remind me of being in Summer Camp as a kid. I thought it was fun. Also the AC works great so hot sleepers won't be uncomfortable. We were able to bring our boat and pull it up to the property. Everything went smooth and everyone really enjoyed their stay. Thank you, Teri! Your communication was impeccable and we really loved your place! 10/10 would recommend, especially for larger groups.
