Awesome Escape

Lots of fun! Brought the boat, zipped up and down the Suwannee, saw manatees, relaxed at Fanning Springs, caught lots of bream in the main river, dinner at Roy’s in Steinhatchee, dessert at Legends, and tubed down the Ichetucknee on the way out. Great stay!

Labor Day vacation

My family rented other houses but this house was definitely the hang out spot with the boat ramp across the street and the large dock we were able to dock 3 boats and there was a giant tree swing for the kids and a nice fire pit for s’mores and hanging out at night. The house was newly updated and gorgeous! There was plenty of room in the house for family to come in and make a plate of food! I really loved the rocking chairs and deck to watch the sun rise over the water. We will definitely be back!!

Long term winter stay

Our goal is warm winter weather which Florida offers. That goal was accomplished with our 1st visit to Old Town. Area great for: fishermen, boaters ( across street from Joe Anderson Park hosting angling tournaments). Nature Coast Trail for bicycling and walking. Plenty of motorcycles and restaurants. RV park across canal. There were early issues with property conditions which the host responded to but shouldn’t have been necessary.

Great Vacation Escape!

Laura’s property was perfect for what we were looking for in our vacation. We love to explore new places in our boat and this property was a perfect base for our boating adventures. With it’s own boat ramp and beautiful, huge dock on a canal away from boat wakes was a real bonus. We cruised to the Gulf of Mexico (28.3 miles) and cruised up river to the many crystal clear springs and also went up the Santa Fe River and then up the crystal clear Ichetucknee River. Laura’s home was well maintained and furnished well with a very comfortable bed. A huge bonus was the dumb waiter to get luggage to the elevated home. Laura is a perfect host and now, my friend.

Montana weather in Florida

Suspect others would like to not review these type of properties as they are like our own "honey holes". What an amazing place with everything as described. We had no idea when we booked it would be -45 degrees at home so we dodged the proverbial bullet. However, 20 degrees in Fanning Springs is really cold but this place had it all to keep us cozy and entertained. We will be back and thank you for the hospitality.
