We'll be back!

Our group loved everything about this beautiful riverside property, both inside and out. The location also served as a great base to easily visit a number of springs in the area. We had a wonderful time and look forward to coming back in the future.

Great family gathering location

This property offers a beautiful view, peaceful atmosphere and plenty of room to spread out. The house was charming, clean and well outfitted for a rental property. I highly recommend relaxing with a coffee on the porch and watching the river go by.

Multi-family vacay

We stayed here with a big group and there was plenty of room for everybody. Located on the river, a boat ramp is close by, there are many springs to visit, and not a bad drive to the ocean. We would stay there again

Amazing house on Suwannee River

We had a great family getaway at this beautiful house right on the Suwannee river, lots To do in the area, enjoying the springs nearby. Plenty of room for a large group(12). Loved fishing off the dock and keeping warm around the fire pit. Very please with owner communication when we had any questions. Thanks for the stay.

What a great experience!

If you’re looking for a big and beautiful house to stay and spend an incredible time with your family, I guarantee you this is the perfect house. Me and my family could not be happier with our stay. We’re looking forward to go back again. The communication with the property manager was great as well! I recommend this house 100%.

Friendly weekend gateway

The property felt like an old manor, and as we drove through the drive way the house look so much bigger than we asumed.. The kids loved playing on the balconies. And the view is very peaceful and gorgeous.

Southern Retreat

From the moment you pull in the driveway you’re transported back to old southern Florida (with all the modern amenities). The house is reminiscent of an old plantation with wrap around porches to sit with your favorite beverage, watch the river & listen to the choir of frogs, insects & birds sing their melodies. All the rooms were large, well appointed & clean. Every guest stated their beds were very comfy too. Our host was excellent with communication & very accommodating to our needs. We stayed here so we could go tubing at Ichetuckney Springs & there are other springs located nearby. I would definitely stay here again!

Absolutely stunning!

The property looked too good to be true, but in this case it was everything that was promised and more! The house is gorgeous and the furnishings were lovely. To say this house was HUGE would be doing a disservice. Even with 12 of us there we never felt cramped. The biggest bedrooms I've seen and the setting is very quiet and secluded. Perfect for a family and/or friends get together. Kindall and Zach were very responsive to all communication. Our big family hopes to return in the future.

Family Christmas Gathering

We chose this spot for a Family Christmas celebration based on it’s distance from multiple households (coming from FL & GA). It was perfect for large families to spend quality time together, but also so much space that it provided lots of privacy too. All of the rooms were of generous size- especially the upstairs master! The wrap around porches on both levels were great! Nice to be able to walk out from the master & see everyone by the fire pit or the river down below. It is pretty much in the middle of nowhere, which is exactly what we were looking for. The property is large with lots of cool trees and areas to explore and we enjoyed the fire pits on cold nights. The host went out of the way to decorate when we asked about Christmas decorations & we sincerely appreciated that. The dining area & table was large enough to accommodate everyone comfortably. The kitchen could use some better/additional pots, pans, utensils & coffee pot. The water smelled bad/‘eggy’ in the kitchen, but worse in the master bath.I could list lots of little wonky things around the house, but overall it kind of just added to it’s charm. Don’t go expecting luxury, but it is comfortable, clean, reasonably stocked & in a great secluded location! Thank you & Merry Christmas!

Springs Trip

Great location on river with amazing views. The house was huge and all bedrooms very spacious which made for a comfortable stay for all. 25 min drive to Ichetucknee SP. Only complaint is the house is big enough for 16 people if you use all the bed space, but the main living area only has one couch and 1 chair. Needs more seating for large groups to be able to hang in same area in the evening. In the cooler months it wouldn’t be an issue, but the extreme heat wave kept us in the AC quite a bit. My bad for booking in Aug. Lol.

Get away from the city

We decided to take our kids And family to a spring. We looked and couldn't find anything until we came across this hidden gem. When we pulled in the driveway we were greeted with eight to ten deer just looking at us it was amazing. The tenniger property gave the kids plenty of room to explore. Having access to the river we brought our 26 foot pontoon boat and left it on the bank it was so convenient in the morning to load the kids up and go for the 3 minute boat ride to the crystal clear spring water. We definitely are going to be returning what a home run.

Husband’s 50th Birthday

This was an amazing home on a wonderful piece of property. The trip was for my husband’s 50th and friends family were coming from out of state and Fl. There was plenty of room to accommodate everyone. The bedrooms were all good sized and plenty of bathrooms. I was impressed with how clean the house was. We spent most noontime on the beautiful wraparound porch off the main floor. There was an identical porch on the 2nd floor. The lot had room for the kids to run and play. The view of the river was fabulous. The hosts were beyond amazing! They were responsive and accommodating. We were there when Hurricane Debby was coming through and they were kind enough to allow us to check out later if needed. We were checking out the morning the storm made landfall. I would definitely rent this home again!! All of my guests agreed this was a great place to relax and unwind. I have rented many vacation homes and this one I actually spent the majority of my trip at the house and not out. Loved every minute there!!

Large, secluded home on the river

This home is a large home with spacious rooms on a beautiful and rustic wooded property on the Suwannee River. We had a large family gathering with 6 individuals/families, so the 6 bedrooms were perfect. The host was very responsive and friendly. The only disappointment was that I requested use of the elevator because I had surgery on my foot and was going to be non-weight-bearing during our stay. I found out while we were driving there that the elevator company hadn't been out to reset the elevator and it wouldn't be available, so I ended up having to scoot backwards up the wooden stairs in the rain on my behind, and then scoot back down when I left. It rained a lot during our stay, so every time I went out or in I got really wet and dirty. The hosts were very apologetic and offered compensation, but as the situation seemed out of their control we declined. But if you need the use of the elevator, check before your visit to make sure it's in good working order. All in all, we enjoyed the house and would definitely visit again if we're back in the area.

Suwannee Recap

The plantation style home was tastefully furnished & decor was also in good taste. It would have been nice to have use of the elevator for the older folks & moving belongings in and out of the house. The kitchen wasn't adequately equipped with enough pots, pans, and utensils. Having paper goods in the hall closet was definitely appreciated. We did however, make a trip into town for aluminum foil & saran wrap. The person limitation on the dock was a disappointment as was having a nice fire area with no wood to burn. This also necessitated a trip into town. Thank you for the opportunity to leave this review.

Way Down Upon The Suwanee River - Kindall & This House 10/10

This was an excellent vacation rental. The house was beautiful- exactly as the photos and description showed. All of the rooms are very spacious, and the beds & furniture were all very comfortable. The big dining room table saw many meals & games with our friends, and sitting on that porch watching the rain & the river in the evenings was perfect. We brought our dogs who ran around and explored the big yard, so they loved it as well. We live in downtown Jacksonville, and this was just what we needed. There are dirt/sand roads to get to the house, so I recommend an SUV or truck. Bring your groceries with you, including seasoning. And take a trip to itchetucknee or ginnie springs while you’re here. Kindall was so helpful & responsive the entire time. Loved it.
