From the moment we walked into the house we were very pleased with how spotless it was. The furnishings and decor were very inviting and cozy. The kitchen was well equipped and we cooked dinner every night. We also grilled on the charcoal bbq one evening. We loved spending each morning on the deck with a cup of coffee and late afternoons after a day on the river relaxing on the chairs on the private dock. We really enjoyed canoeing and a fishing the river every day and just taking in the natural sights and sounds of nature that surrounds the Santa Fe. Such a great experience all around !

Enjoyed our time at The River House. Accurate listing. A little hard to find. Look for the neighbors white mailbox then just past that on a tree you’ll see the number posted. When the leaves are down the driveway can be hard to spot. We played corn hole, grilled and enjoyed the porch and dock. We went to Ichetucknee and Gilchrist Blue springs. Best to hit the grocery in town for breakfast stuff-we found it a bit hard as some places, most were closed (might’ve been just out of season). But we enjoyed Blue Star Dinner, The Great Outdoors and a little bakery inside an old house right around the corner from Blue Star-wish I had the name, really good cinnamon rolls!

The property was well-situated to rivers and nature. We thoroughly enjoyed being by the river and the hammock. Only wished our stay was longer.
The hosts were accommodating and very pleasant.
