I loved the cabin and the property. There were people around enough to point us in the right direction for the bathroom but still we had the place to ourselves. We were dreaming of the next time we could go back on the car ride home.

4 nights at RUNNING SPRINGS RIVER RETREAT
This cabin retreat on the Suwanee River exceeded our expectations+ The owners where so extremely thoughtful and thought of everything to ensure that our visit was so relaxing and stress free. Amazing memories where made at the fire pit, the porch, the rocking chairs, the porch swing bed, the river overlook and so much more

Stayed in a cabin! I loved it but also think it should be a little cheaper. Thanks for a great time I’ll be back .

It was absolutely beautiful out there. Quiet and in the heart of natural florida and Seminole lands on the Santa fe river. Easy check in and clean cabin. Perfect little spot to stay for a nite or a few! Comfort station with coffee was the best. Also had games and a cook station with grills and smokers for use! Will definitely stay here again. And also just a quick 10 minute trip to the springs for tubing swimming ect.

Cabin 8 was perfect for my husband, 2 kids, dog, and I! The host couldn’t have been kinder or more welcoming, he even let my kids feed the chickens with him. We’re already talking about coming back and staying longer!

I enjoyed the atmosphere of the place. Everyone was friendly!! Lots a wildlife around, saw plenty of deer roaming around & of course the hens roaming around. Cabin 8 was clean & very cool!! That was a bonus!! The water was perfect temperature, when needing a quick cool. Beware of ticks, I only got one but it’s bound to happen. 10/10 would recommend coming to Bowman’s land! Camping or glamping!

The house is great and all the stuff you need for enjoying the outdoors is handy (kayaks, canoe, grills, fire pit, fishing gear, etc.). It will be great if/when they get the dock repaired for better river access. Nothing is terribly close by for groceries and such so be sure to stock up on the way. If you're planning to spend a lot of time around the fire pit then bring some cutting tools. There are lots of downed trees on the property and nearby, but no way to easily use them. We learned a lot about this style of HipCamp (we normally tent camping) and really enjoyed it. This property seems to be a good value. I think we will be back again

We LOVED staying at Kelli's place on the river!! The house and property were perfect for us to fish, swim, campfire and s'mores. We went to Royal Springs which was fun. We will definitely be back to visit!

We had a great time at Bowman's Landing. The little cabins are very clean and the AC worked great. Beds were comfortable. The bathrooms and showers were clean. They had bicycles we could borrow to use around the property. The whole area is well-maintained. I was pleasantly surprised and would definitely come back!

Bowmans Landing was everything and more than we expected! We stayed in cabin 7. It was a short walk to the river and it wasn't a far walk to the showers/bathroom. The grounds were family friendly and beautiful! I will definitely be back!

We wanted to stay in the woods and that is exactly what it was. My first time "glamping" and I recommend it. Nice to sleep in a real bed, have AC, heat and protection from the elements. We made a fire every night and enjoyed the trees, birds and squirrels running around. It is close to the main house, but we were unbothered and it felt private. Definitely a thumbs up! Very quiet yet close to town.
