Perfect Escape

A friend and I met for a relaxing weekend. The back porch and lounge chairs are perfect for mornings enjoying coffee and the river. The quality of the linens, pillows, and bedding were appreciated. The kitchen was week-equipped and the water pressure was great.

Serenity

This is a great house to stay in, especially if you like to be in nature. Nicely stocked. Most places dont stock as well as they do for this one. They even put together a book of info on hiking and trails and more. You can fish right off the dock. And they have a canoe. You will see gators for sure. And manatees as well. Great place to kick back and relax!
