It has multiple picnic tables, outside grill, fire pit, hammocks, and authentic Adirondack chairs for relaxing by the fire, or by the river, all overlooking a huge backyard and natural river view.

    This is our second time staying at this home and we had a wonderful stay! Christine was very communicative and friendly from start to finish, which made everything easy and stress-free. The home was extremely clean and well cared for, and we really appreciated how well stocked it was with essentials and thoughtful extras. You can tell they truly care about their guests. We would definitely stay here again!

    Directly on the river with a beautiful view. Secluded and private. Loads of available amenities like games and workout equipment. Be sure to bring everything you need as all of the stores are a significant distance. 🙂 it’s centrally located to many beautiful springs. The hosts are great with quick response time.

    We absolutely loved Christine’s property and house, will definitely be back! The house was very spacious for our family and had a fun game room the whole family enjoyed. There was a screened in porch over looking the back yard and a beautiful view of the Suwannee river. It was also a super short drive to Royal Springs. Christine was a great host and would recommend her property to anyone.
