Great location, peaceful and quiet.

Beautiful property lovely cabin great location clean comfortable inviting. Thank You for the great stay!

Great way to decompress and relax. Truly enjoyed our stay. Will be back.

We enjoyed our time on the Weeki Wachee River. The house is well-located on the upstream side of town so in about 10 minutes you can paddle upstream to where the clearer blue water is. Also about 10 minutes upstream is a pontoon boat selling hot dogs and ice cream which was fun! The further upstream you go, the fewer people you’ll see. (We stayed during spring break which I think is peak high season for Weeki Wachee.) It was great to have kayaks at the house, although there were two days where the tide was so low that we had to go through mud to get the kayaks out from the dock and to the river. I think this was due to a strong easterly wind and maybe a full moon — not sure? The house was clean and nicer than it appears in the pictures. The furniture was comfortable, the kitchen well-stocked with everything we needed, and there were plenty of towels for both bathing and swimming. Would stay there again for sure!

Accurate listing, clean quarters and easy access/check-in. Thanks!

all worked out well

Nice refurbished space

We had stayed here many times before under the previous Owner. Erika has done many upgrades that have made the cabin much more comfortable. My favorite part is still the classic Grumman canoe and the best part of the rive to start paddling from. The cabin had everything we needed and there were no issues. A perfect stay.

House is pretty far up river. So water is always clear. Great little house. Nice grill and dock. Large sandbar out front. Great times.

This place is a destination that restores me once a year! The home is cozy and as always makes me feel like I am welcomed home when I walk in the door! Erika is a fantastic host as always!! 🙂 Alisa S.

We have rented out thus property for years. It is perfect.

I have rented the same property for 5 years without issue until my recent rental with the new owner Erika. This lady alleges that she has owned this property for 3 years, when it really is less than two. It should be noted that most of the good reviews belong to the previous owner, when I went to rent this year I saw that there were a few negative reviews, which at this moment they are not there because they have been deleted, keep them in mind. The owner, Erika, asked that they be removed due to non-compliance with the rules. All of these guests were very upset that Erika was charging additional fees and making insurance claims for damages that were never caused. My first piece of advice, when you arrive at this property and before you leave, take pictures of everything, EVERYTHING, even what seems like it's not important, do it. Every shelf, every corner, carpet, wall, etc. The number of dishes, glasses that the place has. If you want to avoid extra charges at the end of your stay, then the day you leave, you must do the cleaning work (something you already paid for when you book), leave everything ready for the next reservation, because otherwise she will demand that you pay more and automatically the money will come out of your card. I am sure that this review will help many to take photos and will prevent her from being able to falsie accuse you of damages and charge more. It is a pity that the application does not allow me to write more characters and detail everyth

We normally go to Keys each summer but decided to stay local and live on the Weeki Wachee river for a week. We love both locations but the kids found swimming with the dolphins, manatees and in the crystal clear water as top notch! We will reserve this location again.

Our stay at your river front cabin was wonderful. Really clean and comfortable for our family. There are a few things that need some improvement but they are minor. The vacuum needs replacing, it smells really bad and leaves a terrible odor in the cabin during and for hours after using. The grass carpets are beautiful but super rough on bare feet, and the stones around the kayaks are so sharp almost like stepping on legos, no one wore shoes during our stay. The yellow kayaks were perfect for my 9 year old but they did fill up with water fairly quickly, but she loved them! And your outside water hose needs replacing. All minor things. We swam in the beautiful cool clear water everyday. The tide was low enough sometimes that we played badminton and frisbee in the river. There were manatees swimming by everyday. We rented a John boat from the local marina and puttered along with hundreds of other people on the water. Interesting and scary at times. Our family thoroughly enjoyed your cabin on the water. And we will return.

This is such a perfect little place for our vacation. The cabin itself is very clean, stocked with kitchenware, a nice covered back porch, two docks right on the river, several options for kayaks/canoes, and a gas grill. We were able to watch two mamma manatees and their babies daily, a dolphin, blue crabs, fish, and a bull shark right off the docks. We had such a great week and we’re so sad to have it end. Can’t wait to come back in the future.

Great house right on the river for a family of four. During our stay we saw plenty of Manatees and even a dolphin cruising the river. We used the Kayaks every day and enjoyed access to the middle of the river around sunset when most boat traffic empty’s out. It’s a really good location as houses further up the river are deeper water and makes it tough just to hang out. As far as the house, 1 king bed and two singles. Each room has Smart TV with cable. Erica was also a fantastic host with great communication. We are already talking about rebooking here in Nov. Thanks Erica!

Great home, great location, and great communication with owners. Love the recent upgrades!

Very cute and clean place right off the river this was the most amazing vacation I definitely give this place a 5🌟the vanities came right up to the dock while we were staying here I most definitely recommend this place very easy to get to and to figure out how everything works me and my daughter loved it and will definitely be coming back thank you for the wonderful stay

We come back every year. Beautiful location, everything you could need in the kitchen, and kayaks on site are super convenient. Plenty of towels and chairs to relax outside. My family loves this place.

This is a great location. Update has been made on decorating place. I did like that. I still had a hard time sleeping in beds. ( just a little to soft for me) So many extra things in kitchen to help cook with.

My hubby & I had the pleasure of renting this cabin to celebrate our 20th anniversary. It is nicely updated & was perfect for the two of us! The kitchen had everything we needed and the bed was comfy, which we were very grateful for. The location is great! We loved being on the main river & were visited by manatee. Pine Island beach is a 10 minute drive, so you get the best of both worlds. It was a relaxing trip. Couldn't have asked for anything better!

The property was clean and has a great outdoor space to enjoy. The view was amazing.

My husband and I stayed here with two of our sons for an amazing week of Old Florida charm & beauty! This cottage checked off all the boxes: 1) ON the river- (not a canal) with kayaks & gear : we paddled everyday of our seven day stay: it’s 3 hours by kayak, up the river, to the Weeki Wachee spring and 11/2 hours back. (Fantastic current takes you downstream w/ minimal effort ) 2) Guaranteed to see Manatee: we made our way to “Hospital Hole” everyday (25 minute paddle downstream”) to see the manatee that congregate. . . on one day we saw at least 8. . . Just awesome!! 3) The cottage had everything we needed! Well equipped kitchen, comfie sitting areas, inside and outside. . . We loved the propane grill! 4) Quiet & Very Safe: this cottage is nestled in a very nice neighbourhood: great for walking w/ happyville vibe! 5) Close to Pine Island Beach: this was so great, to be only minutes away from a very charming, crystal sandy beach. Well worth a day trip! 6) Natural Setting: this place is right across from the “Preserve”. . . We saw and heard a resident owl, and on our kayak travels we cited deer, an otter, and varied fish & birds! So YES!! YES, YES! This is a hidden gem of a cottage! We loved our stay here and we were sad to say good-bye. In the future, we plan to come here again, to this cottage, to escape our Canadian cold and to bask in the beauty of Florida’s Nature Coast.

We stay at this house every time we come down. Great location super quiet. close to two very good restaurants. The upperdeck and la bella italian.

The best experience!!!!!!

This cabin was great for our 4-person family. Its very comfortable, clean and well-stocked. It’s right on the river so we were able to swim right out back and easily use the kayaks they have available for guests.

My kids and I try to come to Weeki Wachee every year and this is the first time we stayed on the actual Weeki Wachee and not a canal off of it. It was beautiful! And we did see a couple manatees from the dock! Wonderful stay!!

Best place to stay! Pristine river and woods directly behind house! We will be back to this extremely affordable home and Old Florida style living residence! Thanks Erika for assisting us to live out our “river life” dream!!

This place was great! Its one of the cleanest rentals Ive stayed in.

The rental was comfortable , cozy and beachy. The owners were easy to communicate with and responsive.

House and location were just as advertised. Great location on the river. Will stay again.

Had a great time. Best location on the river.
