Great view and location. Plenty of room for family and friends

This home is absolutely gorgeous with plenty of room and very clean! We have stayed on St Johns River for the last 15 years for our summer vacation and we finally found a home to stay that accommodated our large family. This was the best vacation to Astor Florida, thanks to this home and hosts. Plenty of room and everyone which was comfortable for our large family. The home is a beautiful lodge makes you feel like you are in the mountains of Montana. Mark and his assistant were such a pleasure to work with and very responsive to any questions we had. Thank you for opening your beautiful home up for families like us. We are already planning our next trip to Astor!

The house and property is large and beautiful. A perfect location to enjoy the river, Lake George, springs, and restaurants on the water. I only want to vent about a few things because if no one tells the owner or property manager, well I guess they will never get fixed. The refrigerator had some sort of leak. Every time you open and close the door it makes a huge U shape puddle on the floor, causing us to slip before we realized what was happening. We ended up moving a large carpet that was in front of the stove to soak up the mess every time we opened the door. In the master bathroom toilet room, there was not a holder for the toilet paper. There were a lot of spider webs inside and especially outside the home and around the boat docks. Spiders ended up getting inside all our boats, we brought 3. I walked right into a LARGE one when I first stepped outside the back door by the jacuzzi. There needs to be more than 1 king size bed. We came with 3 adult couples and all of us brought our kids. There were many beds for them, but the adults having to choose which one of us got the king size bed made it awkward. The upstairs bathroom stopped up anytime any of us had to take a number 2 and had to be plunged each time :-0. The garbage disposal in the kitchen does not work and that side of the sink would back up with dirty water each time you washed the dishes. We called the property manager several times, with no call back. Overall though, we had an awesome stay.

My family and I had a great time at “The Red Roof Inn”. Easy access to the springs by boat and plenty of room for everyone to relax after a long day on the water.

The location of the home and size is wonderful. However, the cleanliness and organization needs some attention. The kitchen was very unorganized and untidy. There were no bath towels throughout the home, only beach towels. We were only given one trash bag for a 4 night stay and no sponge for dishes and no cleaner to wipe the counters etc. The home is is in desperate need of a deep-clean. TVs in bedrooms did not work, plug could not even reach designated receptacle. The Wifi strength was so poor we could not even check emails. We rented the on site pontoon boat but the boat seemed like it had never been cleaned. Carpet on board was filthy, seats and counters were not clean and it just felt very old worn. Overall, we had a great stay and would be okay if it wasn't at such a high price point. For the price per night and size/status of the home we expected more.

Stayed here with husband and kids. We had a great time at this very unique and beautiful property. We had the pleasure of renting the pontoon boat and exploring the St Johns River (the owner Mark made it a smooth process). Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well stocked. We brought food and tried a couple of local restaurants as well (definitely worth bringing some food). We will definitely come back!

This property is amazing. The reason to only rate it by 4 stars were some shortcomings inside the property. We had issues with hot water, the barbecue and some very soft beds. The property itself is truly amazing and the pictures cannot give you the real understanding of the wow factor. Communication was easy with Mark and he recommended a boat rental nearby - highly recommended. The property has 4 real bedrooms. All other beds are placed in different settings - but not actual bedrooms. I’m sure they will fix the problems and I will highly recommend you to book this magnificent place and enjoy the Ocala area.
4.8
This is an amazing place right on the river with lots of room. Very clean and the owner is great to deal with. Nice dock right on the water with a public boat ramp close. Our group has stayed here twice and we hope to continue our annual tradition. I would recommend this place to anyone!

We had a great time spending time with family. The fishing was pretty good and we caught enough for a fish fry dinner. Plenty of beds for our whole family including all ages. Very spacious and relaxing getaway. Not too far from beaches and Daytona.

R & R on the St. John’s River
What an incredible property to hold a summertime family reunion! Mark and his team are thoughtful hosts and the kitchen would satisfy any gourmet cook’s needs😁. We can’t express how fortunate we feel to have made new memories in this beautiful home and thoroughly enjoyed the pontoon. Already daydreaming about a holiday gathering😍.

Amazing!
Thank you Mark for renting us your beautiful log home. Pictures do not do it justice. The house is breathtaking, and comfortable. I enjoyed my morning coffee on the back deck watching the river and wildlife and having a cocktail at night in the hot tub. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen would please even a gourmet chef. Again thank you for accommodating us when the previous Realty group canceled us last minute. You saved our vacation!!!!!

Yearly, a group of nine retired Florida elder law attorneys gather for good conversation, food and a bottle of wine or two. This location was one of our favorites. It you want to stay where the river flows by your window, the cypress trees are all you see across the river and want to see old Florida, stay here. The home is very well suited for a group of single individuals; had enough single beds and plenty of room for communal visiting. We rented a pontoon boat and a friend took us out for the day. I would strongly encourage visitors to take the commercial pontoon ride on the river if not able to rent their own boat. The owner is very attentive and takes good care of all his properties. There’s not a good grocery within thirty miles so I’d suggest you bring all your food items with you. We planned to rent the owners property in Palm Coast for our gathering next March. Julie B

Beautiful Home with a View
Mark was very accommodating with our last minute reservation. The home looks like it came right out of a magazine. My favorite part was sitting out by the dock and enjoying the view of the water. Perfect place for fishing and hanging out with friends and family. Will definitely be coming again!

This cabin is the prescription we all need. The best to unwind and relax. Quick access to local eats, right on the river with a beautiful view and a fisherman’s paradise on the St Johns! This home is quiet and cozy. My family loves Astor and will definitely be returning to stay again. My only problem now is I don’t want to leave!
