Another great stay at Coppertop

I've always enjoyed staying here. This stay was great. The communication was easy and they were very responsive. I noticed several upgrades and the home looks and feels great. I was happy to see the home survived the brutal storms last year relatively unscathed. It was a very cozy stay with all that we needed. Thank you.

Great Location on the Ichnetuckee

I had a great stay at the Coppertop. Myself and my brother paddled nearly 20 miles in two days from this location at the confluence of the Ichnetuckee and Sante Fe Rivers. The house is in good condition and had all the things we needed to make it a great trip.

Amazing location and beautiful property

An amazing location, beautiful property in a wonderful waterfront location. The dock out to the river amongst cypress trees was incredible. Deer, owls, hawks etc. showed up on the property. S’mores in the fireplace downstairs at night was the perfect ending for each day. We will be back in the summer

Copper Top delivers

Needed a retreat and Copper Top delivered. If you love the water, crystal clear crisp water , this is the place for you. Very nice deck and dock. Santa Fe River where we saw an otter is a short paddle away. We enjoyed the Ichetuknee, Santa Fe and Suwanee Rivers as well as several springs. The Little River Springs was our Fave. Super nice owners, we will be back.

Best river house ever!

Michelle & Jeff are excellent hosts and did everything to make our stay perfect. The house is super clean, no musty odor. Plenty of towels, sheets, etc. The kitchen is well-equipped, grill outside works. Thanks for the extra supplies in the bathroom! There are plenty of toiletries if you forget yours (I’m talking to you, men) and extra TP. The bed was soft for me but comfortable. Sooooo quiet! I slept great. The lamps with outlets and USB ports; are wonderful! But the real star of the show; the river! You have to paddle/pull the kayaks to the water. So worth it! The floating dock made it easy to get in and out of kayaks and we were able to stand in the amazing water, perfect to cool off after we paddled upstream. Morning coffee and evening cocktails on the deck were doable in July heat because of the cool river. What could have been better: Not much! I would have liked a night light or two; there was one in the bathroom but it didn’t work. A few more hangers. One of the single kayaks was perfect and the other one had stuck foot pedals so Jeff dropped us off another one. These are two of the best kayaks we’ve ever used, BTW. Make sure you paddle downstream a bit to see the Ichetucknee and the Santa Fe meet. It’s amazing! I found a fun thrift store in High Springs, I loved Lanza Gallery and Art Supplies. The High Springs Brewing Company and Great Outdoors Restaurant in High Springs were both delightful, we didn’t get to try other places to eat. Guess we have to come back!

Peaceful and relaxing weekend

Our stay at The Coppertop Inn was great. The house was nicely furnished with everything we needed for our long weekend. The property was peaceful and beautiful. We enjoyed kayaking and sitting on the dock watching the river float by, and sitting by the fire in the screened in porch. The owners were very helpful in making our stay as enjoyable as possible. Thank you!!

Truly Unique Florida Experience

We have stayed at this property before and hope to do so many more times in the future. It is located on the Itchetuknee River which is located just downstream from the springs. The water is always very clear and about 72 degrees. The house has one of the longest docks that ends right at the river where you can launch kayaks from or have a meal at the end of the dock. Walking out to the end of the dock is also amazing because of the large trees with Spanish Moss making it really feel like a nature preserve. Also the house is well stocked and has newer utilities. For the river there are kayaks and tubes available. With the exception of the weekend there are very few people that have discovered this beautiful river. It is a wonderful getaway.
