The hosts, John and Mary, were absolutely wonderful and incredibly helpful. The house is cozy and comfortable, with everything you need. The surroundings are spectacular-the landscape, the dock, and the river were all beautiful. I had the best vacation with my family, and even my dog had a great time!

Unique property on the Suwanee River! Great location, off the beaten path, very remote and peaceful!

This house is well designed, well furnished and very clean. We relaxed on the dock and enjoyed the grill everyday, and explored some springs.
