We had a fantastic stay at the River Retreat! The property was spotless and offered a beautiful view of the Santa Fe River. There are plenty of nearby springs to explore, and we enjoyed paddling on both the Santa Fe and Ichetucknee Rivers. If you’re a nature lover, I highly recommend staying here!

A very comfortable recently remodeled home alongside a sparkling clear river. Unseasonable cool, wet weather kept us from venturing out on the river but we appreciated the kayaks were available for our use. A very tranquil setting.

Totally awesome

This place was awesome. The view, the cleanliness and the location. We were 11 minutes from Ginnie Springs, 8 mins from Fort White and 15 mins from High Springs. This is great for couples that want to get away from the city life for awhile. Will totally recommend to someone else about this place.

Great House for Family of 3-4 Near Springs and River

The house is a great spot to spend time on the river and nearby springs. There are several great springs within 15-20 minutes. The house is very well done and well equipped and you can swim off the small dock on the river. My family had a great time and we hope to stay here again when back in the area.
