Summary: We loved the property! It was super close to Ichetucknee Springs park entrance. The location on the river was great. We enjoyed fishing and kayaking. The deer visited the yard nightly! We saw wild turkeys and deer in the area. The house was clean and had all the kitchen and grilling supplies we wanted. We would stay here again for sure.
