Quaint River Home in a Lovely Neighborhood
Lovely stay.... on a beautiful river. Saw lots of deer, manatee, mullet jumping, and osprey. Enjoyed our walks in the neighborhood. Friendly neighbors and the dog loved the new area! We took our boat and fished every day out in the Gulf....lots of hungry fish in those parts! We did eat out which was fun, but most meals were made inside in the well-appointed kitchen. Bed and pillows were good too. The house is very clean. Thank you!

Practically perfect in every way
All the wonderful reviews about this property are true. Once you check in, you will never want to leave (unless a hurricane is on the way, like it was for us). You just have to go and see for yourself.

Great week on the River!
This river house is absolutely amazing! It is located on a quiet stretch of the Wakulla River, just minutes from Crawfordville. The house is spacious and well-appointed, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is fully stocked, the bedrooms are comfortable, and the living room is excellent for relaxing or watching a movie. The best part about the house is the location. It is right on the river, so you can swim, fish, paddleboard, or just relax on the dock. There is also a beautiful boardwalk that leads through the woods to the river. We loved spending our days exploring the river and the surrounding area. The host, John, was amiable and helpful. John provided us with some great recommendations for restaurants and activities in the area. We had an absolutely fantastic time at this river house. It is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty of Florida. I highly recommend it! Highlights: Beautiful location on the Wakulla River Spacious and well-appointed house Fully stocked kitchen Large and comfortable bedrooms Great living room for relaxing or watching a movie Dock for swimming, fishing, or paddleboarding Beautiful boardwalk through the woods Friendly and helpful host

AWESOME PLACE
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house was perfect for 5 of us. We spent most of our time on kayaks and the dock. Got to kayak with a manatee just upstream from the dock. We will definitely be back!
