Aug 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent adventure base on the Suwanee River This house was perfectly clean and had everything we needed, then more! We loved the outdoor games and walking trails around the property, and the whole place feels very private and secluded. We enjoyed cruising the river to swim the springs during the day with a pontoon we rented from Anderson Outdoor Adventures, then came back to relax and enjoy the sounds of old Florida from the screened back patio. This is truly a beautiful property with excellent hosts, John and Mary. We will definitely be back! ##### Daniel B. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### steve r.
