Relaxing paradise

My husband and I stood here for an anniversary weekend and it was awesome!! It was just us and our fur babies and it felt like we were a million miles away from civilization. The tranquility of it all was amazing. The fur babies loved the fact that they could roam around leash free, or just relax under the warm sun. We definitely recommend this place for anyone who just want to unwind and spend time together. We will DEFINITELY be back!! Thank you Rob and Mike for being just awesome hosts!!

Fantastic stay

We were enchanted with the house that seems to be in the trees, and the property was heaven for our dog to roam. Rob and Mike have left a very interesting and informative booklet. We took advantage of their hiking selections which are very close to the property. We'd love to visit again!

Nice Getaway!!!

This is a nice getaway location. Overall, this property allows you to get away from the hustle and bustle to relax. I did see pet hair on the rugs, but it was not overwhelming. This property is well kept, has a grill, fire pit, and kayaks.

Gem on the river

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time! Live the rustic setting, the driveway through the trees to where you can’t see the property from the road is my ideal type of place! It’s right on the river. We spent time fishing, hanging around the fire pit, relaxing, and cooking on the grill. Would definitely return for another weekend here!

Riverside treehouse

We had an amazing time staying here. Our kids and dogs really loved the property and being so close to the river. It was a cute little cabin with everything we needed to cook and be comfortable. The fire pit was great to sit around. We really enjoyed our time here.

Home away from home.

What an amazing place. Very peaceful and relaxing. The cabin is just beautiful. Phenomenal amenities. And dog friendly to. If you are looking to unwind this is definitely the place. All you need to do is bring food and your clothes. The host Rob&Mile were absolutely awesome. . Always responded quickly. Even called to see if we needed more firewood. And invited us out to their ranch to pet the goats and mini horses which my granddaughter absolutely loved. Thank you guys so much for everything. Definitely made some wonderful memories here. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend this place to unwind.

Peaceful get away !

We had a great time and really enjoyed our stay ! It really did feel like almost being in a Treehouse! It was a cute cabin and we couldn’t believe how peaceful it was! We didn’t see or hear one person on the river while kayaking both days ! Rob and Mike are great hosts - so quick to respond and such a nice welcome basket with snacks! Thank you Rob and Mike!

Cute and cozy

The cabin has everything you need and checks all the boxes. The hosts provide just about every comfort you could ask for. The firewood was even sorted by size with a bucket of kindling and a few starters, which was a nice surprise. We plan on returning the next time we need to get away from the city. This place is a gem for sure.

Great weekend getaway

Our stay was the perfect way to unwind and spend some time outside. The property was fenced and our pups were able to enjoy themselves. Check in was a breeze and the hosts were kind and quick to respond to any questions. As a florida native I would absolutely recommend this stay.

River House Anniversary Stay

This was a perfect getaway for us. Far enough to get away from the everyday hustle, but close enough to the normal comforts. Check in was very easy, everything was clearly communicated, and a great little basket of goodies was made available to us. We caught a few fish, watched some wildlife, took out dog to enjoy the nearby trails, and we were pleasantly surprised at how comfortable the bed was. We will absolutely keep the River House on a short list of preferred places to visit again!

Beautiful, relaxing experience.

My husband, myself, kids ages 4 and 10, and our pup had an amazing time here. The cabin style house built up in the trees, really made it feel like we were staying in a tree house. The property is beautiful and tranquil. You are transported to such a relaxing, peaceful mindset. The hosts are so nice and easy to contact. My kids loved being able to fish off the dock and hangout outside all day and even into the night. You could let the kids and dog go and run around with no worries. We went on the trails that are near by and they were so beautiful. Its an amazing place to get out into nature and a unique experience. We will absolutely be back and stay for longer! Best vacation ever so far. Highly recommend and VERY dog friendly!

2 Traveling Dogs Approved

We have been traveling the USA with our dogs for a decade and look for dog friendly spots. Our homebase is in Florida, and we were in the area during a move to Italy. This cabin was great for the dogs with plenty of fenced in and safe property, a canoe to go down the river and bigger and nicer inside than expected. Our senior dog did have difficulty with all the stairs up to the cabin entrance, so keep that in mind if you have an elderly dog. We adjusted with a harness for him and bring a flashlight outside at night. We also were able to clean them from all the dirt in the outside shower so they didn’t track it inside. Thank you for a lovely and memorable stay.

About the host

Hosted by Rob and Mike

Host profile image
Rob and Mike purchased this property as a get away... They wanted to be close to the Withlacoochee River, Forest and Rails to Trails bike path..... While initially only visiting the property once a month they quickly grew to love the area and all that it has to offer. A few years ago they decided to look for a permanent home in the area that would be able to accommodate their love of animals and give them space to have more... Well they found the perfect place... Not far from the River House, in Sumter County a 60 acre ranch where they raise their goats, horses,chickens, donkeys and cattle on their own piece of heaven. Not wanting to completely part with the River House , they decided to rent it out as a vacation spot to travelers, so others could experience it.

Why they chose this property

Picking out this River House was easy.... The first time they saw this property they wrote an offer to purchase.... It was just that simple. Where else can you find a house on stilts that makes you feel like you are in a tree house on the river!

What makes this property unique

The property has this amazing trail that winds around the woods... with gopher tortoises checking you out as you pass them, and almost the entire property is shaded by oak trees... It has a great mystical feel!
