Amazing slice of heaven right here. So much privacy. They have the best spot along the Chipola River. The kayaking was wonderful. We enjoyed everything about this lovely cabin. Cooked on the little grill, had a fire in the fire pit and roasted marshmallows for smores. Felt like we were staying at our grandma's house. So many personal family touches in the cabin. Everything in the kitchen you could need. Bring food because there is nothing close. Small grocery in Altha and another in Blountstown. Bed is firm but comfortable. Dawn was a great host and forgiving (because i made a booking mistake). We didnt want to leave and would love to visit again.

WOW!!! The hostess with the mostest!! When you arrive to your rental, and it is just like home. The styling of farmhouse is beautiful!! You have everything needed for cooking, cleaning,washing, relaxing etc.. I mean everything! Even extra towels and blankets. So for us that always bring everything with us, with Ms Dawn’s rental you dont have to. I would give 100 star rating if I could. Our week vacation was wonderful! Beagle approved by my service dog. Ms Dawn is the best host! Thank you

5 Stars!!

Our weekend stay was absolutely perfect! The location on the river couldn’t have been better. We were able to launch our boat and keep it right at the property all weekend, which made going out on the water and returning to the house super convenient. The view was stunning and so relaxing. We only live a few hours away, so this will definitely be a go-to spot for future getaways. Can’t wait to come back!

Never again

The family obviously use this property on a regular basis.as the closet and drawers contained all their personal items and the food and freezermuliple scented candles and plug in scents on every room contained their food. We felt like intruders rather than guests. We stayed only one night although we paid for two. It’s definitely not a place to stay if you have allergies as there were

Beautiful and Relaxing

We had to evacuate Clearwater for Hurricane Milton. Somehow this wonderful gem fell into our hands. We were having a hard time finding a pet friendly place to evacuate with our golden retriever. The house was amazing. The view on the river is what we needed to keep our anxiety down worrying about our home. The house had everything we needed. Dawn answered all my 20 plus emails immediately and was so kind. Thank you for providing the peace of mind we needed while we evacuated from the hurricane. Can't wait to come back and enjoy at another less stressful time

Life on the river

A truly amazing stay. Saw lots of wildlife on the river, and had a really great time grilling and sipping coffee on on the deck. Would love to stay here again.
