About this house rental
We want to share our little slice of paradise with you! We started this adventure when we found this river side cottage that needed a little TLC. We took the plunge and did a complete renovation from the ground all the way up to the tongue and groove ceiling. The home is a 3-2 featuring an open floor plan with a small kitchen, cozy living room, screened in back porch, two docks, and is located at the beginning of a canal with a beautiful view of the St. John’s River great for fishing and access to local hot spots. Located just 20 minutes to Lake George, 30 minutes to Salt Springs, and 40 minutes to Silver Glen Springs by boat. The closest public boat ramp is 2 miles away by vehicle and 5 minutes by boat. There are 2 boat rentals within 15-20 minutes and great restaurants and bars by boat or car. Whether it’s a quiet weekend to disconnect from every day life, spending some time on the lake with your family and friends, a fishing trip with the guys, or all of the above, we hope you enjoy your stay at the Riverview Cottage.
Check out our Instagram page @TheRiverviewCottage for more photos, renovation journey, and trip inspiration!
Please enjoy the entire home, screened in porch, and two docks to pull your boat up to and tie off of, and garage for storage. The boat lift is not available for use but is moved up out of the way so you can tie your boat off in the boat slip. There is plenty of room to park multiple vehicles and boat trailer(s) in the driveway and parking platform at the top of the driveway. Access to the home will be through a code to the front door that will be provided for contactless check in.
The home is kid friendly and equipped with a pack-n-play, toys, and bumbo seat with tray for meals available for use.
Please note the driveway down to the house is slanted as well as a step down from the back porch to the grass and a slanted walk down to the dock. There is no fence lining the seawall blocking access to the water.
House quirks: Please also note the ice maker in the freezer makes ice but does not release ice through the exterior drop down but can be scooped out from the interior of the freezer or utilize the ice cube trays that will be available.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! We look forward to hosting you soon!

My son and I on a 3-day fishing trip on the St Johns River. Never had any contact with the host; and it turns out we didn't need any. Instructions were clear. We walked in and the place was all ready for us. Clean. Nicely remodeled older small home on the river. Great dock. Our Gheenoe cosied up nicely for the night. A friendly neighbor gave us great fishing tips.

Check and check out was good. Neighborhood was good. Water was a bit muddy and the fishing was bad but otherwise we all had a pretty good time.

Property is clean and well stocked. The dock was great for fishing we caught several catfish with just bread. We arrived during a brief downpour of rain and the front entrance was extremely flooded as well as the garage. I know this is a low area and happens.The front door looks like someone has tried to break in at some point and has several large cracked seams that you can see straight through. I’m not sure if owner is aware. Lastly the master bedroom bed was very hard! So hard and firm our shoulders and hip bones were sore after our stay. Over all with those minor things we enjoyed the property and would recommend it was also close to our favorite hang outs.
