We cannot operate as an event venue.  That being said, you cannot hold a wedding or any other large event where you would be inviting guests for the day.  But feel free to host your birthday party or anniversary party with all the guests in your paid group and listed on your rental agreement.  Most all of our groups are celebrating something on their stay with us.

Upon request we can give you contact information for catering options in the local area.  We also have a very affordable local professional photographer to refer you to.

Yes, only outdoors in the grassy areas.  No smoking inside or outside on any decks or docks or porches.  There are 2 large yellow receptacles for butts.  It is VERY important that butts go in the yellow receptacles and not on the grass, as they end up in the river or in the mouth of local wildlife.

Our check-in is after 4 p.m. and check-out is before 11 a.m. Our neighborhood does have a noise restriction, and quiet time outside  is from  9:00 p.m. to 9:30 a.m. This is our whisper time where all outside beach front and upper deck noise and loud activities must be lowered.

We suggest that guests be sure to bring water shoes, not slides, as the river and shorelines are a natural environment with rocks, roots, submerged trees.

We suggest bringing reusable drink bottles, as the rule about no disposables on the river is strictly enforced by law enforcement.  We do provide some reusable bottles, but most people prefer their own.

We suggest a boating license.  The Florida law is that anyone born after Jan 1, 1988 needs a boater safety card to operate a boat.  After your reservation, I can give you a link to get the license online quickly and for free.

Yes you can bring your own boat if you would like.  There is room to tie it to the dock in the water, and room to park your trailer.  There are 2 options for launching, a free public ramp about 2 miles away on the Withlacoochee River and a state park ramp at the KP Hole park about 1/2 mile away that charges $20.

Feel free to bring your own kayaks and just launch in the backyard.  There is an air compressor on property for your use if you bring any inflatables.

We dedicate lots of love and care to making this home an outstanding family gathering spot.  We provide everything you need, just bring your food and clothes.  There is plenty of space for everyone to enjoy, plenty of cooking options, plenty of seating options, and certainly plenty of entertaining amenities.
