NEW!! Remodeled River Retreat Cabin-Beautiful views right on the Suwannee River
River Retreat is right on the river with private dock access and a boat ramp close to the cabin. This cabin is the perfect spot to watch a sunrise over the water, share quality time with family, or go fishing! Ice Machine on site.
We enjoyed fishing off the dock (we caught an alligator gar, brim, car fish) - we saw jumping sturgeon - kids loved jumping off the dock. We made our meals at home every night and enjoyed Legends Dessert for ice cream. We went to Fannings springs through a local RV park kayak excursion and ate at Suwanee Belle Landing for our last night (very good). We also traveled to Manatee State Park to swim in Manatee Sorings. Overall this was a great home base with beautiful mornings and evenings in the dock.
Fabulous cabin getaway on the Suwannee River! Beautifully furnished and decorated inside. Great room layout with open concept kitchen, dining room, and TV room/den. Very nice bedrooms and bathrooms. Large deck and dock and incredible views of the river! Plenty of parking and very convenient boat ramp close by at Yellow Jacket Campground. We cruised the river south to the Gulf, and also cruised north to the Santa Fe River. We were excited ahead of our trip, but this even exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend.
Sincerely,
Steve & Torrey Esham
Highly recommend this property if you're looking for a rental in the area. My family would gladly book again.
Clean home; friendly and responsive owners. Their home has all the things you'd need for a home away from home and even some things you didn't think you'd need.
We had a great time at the cabin which was clean, cozy and had everything we needed to have a fantastic stay! We visited the Manatee springs as well as Cedar Kay...what a great time! It was so nice to grab a cup of coffee and head out to the dock to sit and enjoy the river.
Sabrina the host is so sweet and helpful...thank you for adding to our fantastic vacation!
We celebrated our sins 13th birthday there! Great escape from the city! Very relaxing and comfortable with all the modern conveniences of home! Great hosts!
This property is awesome for those who want to get away and spend time outdoors with family and friends. It has it all. Beautiful view from a second story, wraparound balcony with direct gorgeous views of the majestic Suwannee River lined with amazing cypress trees. From the front of the house there is another natural treasure in a swamp that I believe is part of an adjacent wildlife refuge. We recommend one should bring experience. There are about five minutes of river that are some of the most beautiful I have seen all of wildlife. There is an eight burner grill that would make any outdoor chef, jealous, as well as a large flat grill, rate for cooking breakfast. And the most useful appliance is an on-site icemaker that will keep all your coolers ready to go. I will definitely be back and would recommend this place for anyone who appreciates the solitude of the outdoors.
This cabin is beautiful and looks exactly like the photos. The place was spotless and had everything we could need plus more on hand. The lake was perfect and everything was so very clean. Sabrina the host was EXTREMELY HELPFUL and responsive and answered every question I had during our stay. I highly recommend this cabin and this host. 100% 10/10!!!!!!
Strange man on property - Construction - Broken AC
I have no complaints about the property but unfortunately very disappointed and had a negative experience due to poor customer service.
On the first morning of the stay, a strange man parked and walked into the backyard of the property. As a female I was scared about a man approaching a private property I rented and confused if the pier was public. He didnât introduce himself and he left. I contacted the property manager and she said the pier was not public and she didnât know who the man was - which made me more paranoid that a stranger came into the property.
The man came back with someone else a second time and we got scared again so we didnât approach them. Again we contacted the property manager and now sheâs questioning if itâs a construction team they hired. The men left again. They came back for a THIRD time (still no heads up from owner or introduction from the man) and he started DRILLING on the pier. The noise was incredibly loud and disturbing. We told the man that we were renting if he could stop, but he continued drilling because of the ownerâs request.
This was the worst experience Iâve had in a rental property due to safety concerns and then CONSTRUCTION on the property. I do not want to share my private stay with strangers coming in and out. As a woman this experience was scary and the way it was handled was extremely unprofessional.
On top of it all, the AC was not working the first night and we were all sweating the first night. An AC repair person had to come to the property on the first day - separate from the construction team that came over.
Vey disappointing experience since the house was so beautiful.
Sabrina's house was wonderful. It was by far the most provisioned house I've rented and I travel 3 times a month for work so I've seen many. The house is very updated with high end features while at the same time it's in a gorgeous secluded setting. I will definitely come back as it's the perfect spot to check out and get away from the city. Sabrina was easy to communicate with and very hospitable. Overall we give it max stars.
Our family really enjoyed staying in this beautiful cabin. The calm and peaceful area is a great way to enjoy nature. The home was excellent and had all the amenities one needs. Also home was really well made and clean. Will definitely recommend and stay again.
Everything was AMAZING! Perfect view , check in process was smooth and the house looks exactly like the pictures!! I will definitely be coming here again with friends/family! Highly recommend !
