Great Grad Weekend spot
John was super easy to work with and answered all questions quickly. The house was clean and quiet. We were there for graduation at FSU so did not get to enjoy the river or the area but would love to go back. We did go to Trident Restaurant in Panacea per his suggestion and it was awesome. Definitely would go back.

AWESOME PLACE
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house was perfect for 5 of us. We spent most of our time on kayaks and the dock. Got to kayak with a manatee just upstream from the dock. We will definitely be back!

Practically perfect in every way
All the wonderful reviews about this property are true. Once you check in, you will never want to leave (unless a hurricane is on the way, like it was for us). You just have to go and see for yourself.

First return visit & planning many more!
This is a perfect place for a family getaway! We brought our canoe and used John's as well to paddle upriver and drift back down with the current. It was so peaceful, and we saw a number of fish and a possibly a manatee. We wanted to show our son who lives just 20 minutes away a great place to relax away from the city - he loved it! We visit another historical place as well as return to the Edward Ball Wakulla State Park each time, so we still have a lot of places to see when we return to relax. We just love the wonderfully welcoming Wakulla Riverhouse!

Great stay for FSU orientation
This property was great, just as described and the owner gave us lots of fun ideas to enjoy during our stay. Our favorite was swimming at Cherokee sink. The water was beautiful teal green. We took tubes for floating and the teens enjoyed jumping off the rock and jumping from the tree. The house was stocked with everything that we could possibly need. Even bug spray was cleverly placed outside on the posts to use. Would stay here again when I need to come back to FSU.
