Summary: This is a lovely property in the absolute best location on the river. The host really understands what is needed for a large group. Having 3 refrigerators was great as we brought meals to cook for the entire 4 days. There was plenty of cooking utensils and even a variety of spices and herbs. A handful of my guests traveled on motorcycles, so having kayaks and tubes available for our group was also very much appreciated. You are so close to the state park, KP Hole, the main dive spring, the Gissy Spring creek run, and a cute little cove that you can set up a hammock at. The sleeping arrangements remind me of being in Summer Camp as a kid. I thought it was fun. Also the AC works great so hot sleepers won't be uncomfortable. We were able to bring our boat and pull it up to the property. Everything went smooth and everyone really enjoyed their stay. Thank you, Teri! Your communication was impeccable and we really loved your place! 10/10 would recommend, especially for larger groups.
