This house, the host, and the trip was awesome. We had neighborhood friends, family, and kids with us. There was room for everyone, great large kitchen area. Access to the private part of the Ichetucknee was so nice! The Stambaugh’s our great hosts, we can’t wait to do the same trip again next year!

Lazy River Family Vacation
Plenty of room for the entire family (11 of us total with more beds to spare). Great location on the river. The access to the private section of the Itchetucknee was EXTREMELY nice! Kids enjoyed the slide at the dock, and the hot tub was a nice option as well.

Great home and location!
We had an amazing time at this property! The home is very spacious and has plenty of beds for a large gathering of family and/or friends. Our favorite part of the trip was included access to the private park for tubing down the Ichetucknee river. That amenity alone is priceless. We will definitely be renting this house again in the future.

Family & Friends weekend getaway
The overall stay was wonderful. The location allowed you to swim right off the dock or tube down the river from the private parks within the subdivision. Plenty of sleeping for a large group. Lots of extras for entertainment such as indoor & outdoor games, hot tub. Very nice.

No need to leave property :)
First more than anything, the host goes above and beyond from the convenience items to communication. Very generous check in and ck out times compared to over 50 I have stayed at in past years. Rooms huge! There is so much to do at house itself or just relax looking outside. Private Itcheetucknee tubing awesome, saves the walking all the way at the state park. Already planning another visit. This is my new annual spot as I go every year.

Wonderful river house
We had a group of 10 that stayed here for a long weekend. Plenty of space and fun activities. Debbie met us at the house for check in and to share details of the property. We fished off the dock and played games they had set up at the house. We usually tube the State Park but Debbie told us about the private access tubing and we spent the day there. It was a beautiful run and less crowded than the state park. Would definitely book again!

This home was perfect. I had 7 teens with me and they never once said they were "bored". They stayed busy inside and outside and didn't want to leave when it was time to go home. The house offers all the comforts of home and the owners were very welcoming. We will definitely be back.

We loved our stay at this VRBO on the river! The location was perfect and the accommodations were spacious and well-stocked. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and playing games.
