Always a pleasure
It’s always a dilemma whether or not to leave a good review for this place because I love it so much I don’t want anyone else booking it. That being said I’ve been coming here for a long time. It’s a great location and I look forward to booking again next year. During my stay an older couple stopped in to check the place out because they were worried about the stairs into the house, I would not recommend anyone with accessibility issues book here as you need to be able to climb stairs to make access to the house as well as the dock.

The River House is truly something special - our boys stayed here once when they were little, and now again as they're young adults, and they loved it (in different ways) both times. Very comfortable house and surroundings. I hope we go back for a 3rd time!

Beautiful river view
Our family enjoyed our Easter vacation by the river. The house is perfect for us and our children loved spending time on the river. Tubing was a big hit. 2 large manatees and a baby came right up by the dock to say high. The upgrades to the house since we were last there are great. Just a heads up that 3 of the rooms have full size beds, not Queens. Wasn't an issue for us but may be for some. We look forward to being there again sometime in the future.

We loved the place, right on the river with the dock, kids spend all time in the water. House is a little outdated but we loved the experience anyway.

Great place on the Ichnetucknee
Great weekend get away for a big group of friends. The house was very large and well furnished with everything needed. It was very comfortable for all 8 of us. Sitting out on the dock during the day and evenings was awesome. Nice hot water, good wifi, covered parking, plenty of seating… lots to like about the house! But still the best was being right on the river. Would definitely love to book again.

Large rooms
We spent 7 nights at the property with our 2 sons and their families. There were 9 of us and i never felt crowded. Time was spent both inside and out. The bedrooms, kitchen and living room are large. The living furniture is tired and could use an update. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen has plenty of utensils, cookware and shes but bring your own kitchen towels. During our stay we experienced a plumbing issue where the toilets gurgled each time they were flushed. There is a screened in deck that had furniture and, again, an update here would be great. Dock was used daily and kids and adults fished and swam. We spotted several large fish, manatees and birds. We had to buy kleenex, toilet paper, hand soap and dish soap while staying as they ran out or werent provided. Overall, i would recommend for large families looking for a river adventure.

Excellent location. Our family and friends had a really awesome visit! House was roomy and comfortable. Well stocked kitchen, but needs new pans and skillets. Also really wish the bedrooms had a t least queen beds, instead of full beds. Main bedroom was delightful. Lots of places to chill and relax here!!

Being right on the Ichetucknee River and a stones throw from Hodor Park is ideal. The property is also a nice open layout and is comfortable. Great place to stay for the area.

Best Vacation ever!!
My kids will tell you this was the best vacation ever!! We spent everyday in the water at the dock swimming and snorkeling and every night on the porch and in the yard grilling and making a fire to roast s’mores for the kids!! It was the best!! Comfortable beds and plenty of room and everything our family needed for the week!! We brought our own kayaks and food but they pretty much supplied the rest!❤️❤️❤️

Relaxing, quiet spot on the river
The location is fantastic! The house is right on the Ichetucknee, very clear water at the house. You can float from the state park to house dock. We loved seeing some manatees swim by and rest nearby. The house is spacious. Some of the furniture and appliances are dated and worn, but the beds are comfortable. Very peaceful and would stay here again!
