This house is amazing...if you are looking for a place to sit back, truly relax and enjoy time with friends/family...this is it! My 13 year old son said he wants to go back every year for his birthday. The space is beautiful, the view is even better, the firepit area is perfect and the ability to fish/kayak/canoe is all you need! We want to go back when we can tube down the river in the summer! This is a nature lover/outdoor lover paradise!

My second time renting this house. The accommodations are lovely and suited our family. We got to spend an evening around the outdoor fire pit and the weather was perfect for us to enjoy our Thanksgiving meal at the large table on the enclosed deck. I highly recommend the River Front House for a secluded get-away.

Lazy days on the Edisto River

We had 5 incredible days. The accommodations were perfect. We fished, boated, and floated the river. Dustin was an excellent host and was very quick to get back to us anytime we had a question.

Rustic with a classy twist

The beauty of the river and the cypress trees supersedes the funky convenience of the hunting lodge/luxury accommodations, but the beds were so comfortable, the kitchen so well- equipped that it’s difficult to select one “best thing”.

Great getaway

The property and host are great! The host was very responsive and offered plenty of recommendations for activities etc. The layout of the house is very unique and the giant screened-in porch being central is the perfect hang out spot. We spent a lot of time on kayaks and canoes provided going just up the river to a protected cove. Perfect for kids. Would definitely recommend to anyone and we hope to be back.

Vacation stay

Our stay was good. Very rustic. The kitchen was very well stocked with dishes, cooking pots/pans, utensils and other items (toaster, blender, coffee, etc.). The air conditioner had a hard time keeping the humidity out but was part of the rustic property. Sitting on the porch was nice and the view of the river was great. We enjoyed our stay.

Would stay again!

This was a great location to gather with extended family. Modern and rustic. Loved the large open kitchen with a bar that seated 7. Included pretty much everything to cook our own meals. Spent a lot of time playing games and foosball on the large, screened porch. Kids loved the fire pit and making S'mores. Was really nice to have kayaks and canoes onsite with life jackets. Big hammock that was a favorite spot to rest & relax away from the cabin. Everyone loved it! Be prepared to drive at least 15-30 minutes to get groceries, supplies, nearest restaurants, etc. Approx. 1 hour to airport or beaches. Overall, 9 out of 10!

Perfect location for privacy, kayaking and fishing. Great location for nature lovers. Brought groceries for all meals and snacks as there is no shopping close by. Visited 2 State Parks close by- Givhan's Ferry and Colleton State Park and DO NOT MISS Bee City Zoo. It is phenomenal. We would definitely stay here again and again.

Our family enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing visit to the Edisto River and loved staying in your house! The location on the river was amazing, and we appreciated all of the boating equipment to use during our stay. We enjoyed cooking in the large kitchen and were happy with all of the kitchen supplies we needed. My college-age son had a blast fishing and canoeing in the area and caught plenty of catfish to cook a meal for us one night. Yum! We will be back!

Perfect for family time

The Sanctuary on the Edisto is a beautiful spot for a family vacation. Best kitchen ever! Huge and well equipped. Big comfy screened porch! The fire pit is perfect with seating for a crowd. Big, well kept yard including the very well tended chicken coop. Everything worked, everything is spotlessly clean. We had a terrific stay.

Awesome River Property!

I can’t say enough good things about this property. It was an amazing experience which the entire family enjoyed. This is right on the river in the middle of a quiet remote area. The setup is unique with the house built around a screened in porch to enjoy the nature setting. The main house is rustic but updated and a great gathering spot. Tons of space inside, outside, and on the property. We enjoyed kayaking in the pond and on the river. The kids loved frisbee in the yard, cornhole, fire pit, and foosball on the porch. There are chickens and the owner brought us fresh eggs! We thoroughly enjoyed the week we stayed and left very refreshed and relaxed.

Truly a Gem!

We found this place looking for somewhere other than a boring hotel to stay in for a family wedding outside of Charleston. My kids were set on a beach house, but I'm a procrastinator so by the time we booked, that wasn't really an option for the weekend. The whole family ended up being SO glad we stayed here. It was like Shangri-la for us as nature lovers and for me as a person that also loves to be in the woods and by water. It's an old fish camp on the river that has been renovated and updated. So comfortable with everything you need - updated appliances, plenty of kitchen space, comfy beds - but our favorite part was the screened-in porch living area that was located in the middle of the house. There are plenty of games provided as well that the family enjoyed playing on the porch every night. We also loved the stocked fish pond - both for catch and release and for a safe place for the small ones to kayak and canoe on their own. (Our swimming dog loved it as well.) The view of the river and the sounds and stargazing at night are amazing. You are out "in the country" so either pack food in accordingly or plan to make a run to the grocery store in Summerville about 25 minutes away. The host/owner was actually around staying across the pond and working on another house adjacent to the property for part of the time we were there - super friendly and helpful! Glad we got to meet him while we were there. We literally did not want to leave and are already planning to come back when we can! Thank you for having us! !

Peace and quiet

The house was just what we needed and the screened in porch was amazing. We wanted a place away from everything and we found it here! We fished, grilled, fire pit, stargazing, and best of all we just got to enjoy each other's company. The kitchen had everything we needed with alot of extras. The 3 main rooms gave everyone there own privacy. We will be back soon. The description and pictures on the listing are just how it is when you see it in person. That's one thing we always worry about.
