Amazing property in a beautiful place!! Came up to enjoy the springs with my family but ended up just itching to get back to the house. So much property to explore and different activities to get in to. Michelle was wonderful and accommodated us even though there was a bit of conflict in the timing of the trip. Great hosts, gorgeous place, and a property that's worth a visit in and of itself!! If you are on the fence about where to stay for your visit, do not hesitate... this is the place!

We really enjoyed the large property, direct access to the river, which we did swim in and float down. We loved the access to the launch across the street where we could float right back to the house! It was fun to see all the wildlife too. SO many deer and turkey. There are dozens of springs around to choose from. We rented paddle boards from a nearby place and we also used the provided kayaks and floats at the house. Host was very friendly and helpful as well.

Exactly what we hoped it would be!

This home is exactly what we were looking for. It was right on the Sante Fe River with a huge property, perfect for long walks with the dogs, with many wildlife sightings. The home was spacious, with many areas to enjoy indoors and out. We could have spent our entire week just in the house and on the property.

Relaxing Retreat

We spent a wonderful 6 nights relaxing and recharging at this gorgeous home. The natural beauty of the surroundings was breathe taking, from the view of the river, to watching the hummingbird while drinking morning coffee, to the grazing deer and the spectacular unobstructed view of the stars at night.

River House

The house and property were amazing. Right on the Santa Fe. We spent most of the evenings at the house but had a rain/rest day and the amount of things to do just at the house were amazing. The property managers did a check in during our stay which I had never had before so it was nice in the event any question arose. We are already planning our next trip.
