A wonderful time!!!
John and Mary were awesome hosts! They were able to help us with anything we needed. The house was perfect and comfortable. We do utilize Rentals a lot and this was one of our best yet! We will be back. The screened in porch was such a blessing at night when we just wanted to sit out in the night air and talk. The activities around the house were great for the kids. We will be making this a yearly rental for our family summer trip!

All three homes are beautiful. The owners are wonderful. I would stay there again.
There are three beautiful homes next to each other by the Suwannee River great for a group event or rent just one of the homes. Each home has three bedroom and three bath. Very clean and is furnished with everything one needs for a short or long stay. I enjoyed waking up and having coffee on the screened in porch every morning listening to the birds and watch the river water flow by. Very peaceful. The owners they are wonderful host!!!

Great location on the Suwannee
This is a fantastic quiet location right on the river. Great for swimming or lauchnind a boat. House itself was perfect. Elevated one story with fantastic screened in porch. Inside was wonderfully decorated and excellent facilities. The owners (Mary and John) were really nice. Couldn't ask for a better stay. We'll definitely visit again.
