The BEST Easter weekend
My sister and her 2 kids along with myself and my two kiddos were lucky enough to enjoy good family time together over Easter weekend. We had the BEST time, the river level was up but that certainly didn't stop us from enjoying it, so dont let that detour you. It was SUPER clean, peaceful, quiet and had everything you could possibly need. My sister and I loved this home and look forward to visiting again soon.💙

Disappointed
We found the rental to be somewhat "Tired." There were many cobwebs on the windows and stains on the carpets. The stains were covered up with small rugs and blankets, we tripped over the several times. The kitchen window was so full of cobwebs my wife decided to clean them off. The water from the tap had a very strange smell The situation on the river is beautiful, but the rental did not match.

Great stay on the Suwannee
We used Butterfly Crossing as home base for. Kayak trip from Branford to Fanning Springs. It was a perfect location. The house and property were clean and comfortable and we really enjoyed sitting on the porch and dock in the evenings and in the mornings. We liked that there was an open porch but also a screen porch as well. Great stay. Thanks BigJeff!

Absolutely loved our stay !! Old Florida on the Suwannee. Not fancy a rustic appeal and clean. We loved the view of the river and evenings around the fire pit. We docked our boat and couldn’t ask for a better host!

Short Trip
The place was great. It's right on the river. To bad the river was high and we didn't have a chance to go on the huge dock. The house has huge upstairs balcony to entertain. The home is kept very clean, everything works. I've been to other properties and the ac doesn't work, problems with heating etc. Very close to the local minimart and gas station. If you have a boat, the ramp is a block away. Would recommend it again and pan to go back soon. It's better than the listing !
