Absolutely stunning home! We love it so much we are already trying to plan a return visit! Insane backyard with family friendly fire pit and plenty of room for kids and pups to run around. The stars were so beautifully clear at night, no light pollution like the cities we are from. Such a relaxing and tranquil place. The inside is in perfect condition with super comfy and huge couch and the bed felt like sleeping on a cloud. The location is fantastic. 2 minutes from Ginnie Springs, 5 minutes to Gilchrist and Poe Springs, 25 min from Ichetucknee and O'Leno parks. I can't say enough good things about this home! Host was responsive and extremely helpful. We will absolutely come stay again!

Great Getaway!

This property has a casual elegance that invites use - open plan with large dining area, oversized couch & big screen tv, well equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds & linens. We made good use of the outdoor areas, including the charcoal grill and wood burning fire pit. High Springs is just minutes away and offered a variety of restaurants for meals out. The entire property is large, well maintained, and secured by a fence with front gate. This gave us an added peace of mind regarding the safety of our dogs and allowed us to give them a little more 'freedom" than they normally would have when we travel. Natasha is a great host & quick to respond. A great time had by all, in a beautiful part of North Florida. Looking forward to our next stay at The Rustic River Retreat!
