Helen and her family were wonderful guests! Communication was quick and friendly from booking through checkout. They followed the house rules and left our riverfront home clean and tidy. We'd happily host Helen again anytime and recommend her to any host. Thank you, Helen!

Hi Eileen, Thank you for the wonderful 10/10 and for sharing your thoughts—we’re truly grateful! Your group of 16 (plus your sweet pup!) made great use of the spacious cabin, and I’m so glad the hot tub and beautiful river surroundings were highlights. Reviews like yours mean the world to us after years of hosting here—they help other travelers discover this peaceful spot. We loved having you all and hope you’ll return soon! Warmest regards, Kurt

Melissa and her guests were simply wonderful to host. The kind of guests that reward you in ways outside of VRBO. Wish every guest was this amazing!

Thank you so much, Michael, for taking the time to share such a lovely review of your stay with us. It truly made our day to hear that the three families — and all those little ones ranging from 8 months to 13 years — found the house so well-suited for real connection and time away from screens. That’s exactly what we hope for every guest who comes to Withlacoochee Riverside Retreat: a place where kids can explore, fish off the dock, watch the owls settle into the cypress trees at dusk, and fall asleep to the sounds of the river instead of electronics. We’re especially glad the organization of the house (the labeled light switches, the dish cabinets, and all the little details) helped make your group feel at home right away. And yes — the dock does have a way of becoming the favorite gathering spot, doesn’t it? Sharon and I are so happy the quiet setting, the fire pit evenings, and the short drive to Rainbow River and town rounded out a relaxing family trip for all of you. We would be delighted to welcome your group back anytime. With warm regards, Kurt & Sharon Withlacoochee Riverside Retreat

Hi Tripp - Thanks so much for taking the time to leave this honest review after your Christmas stay with us. We really appreciate you choosing our quiet little spot on the river to celebrate the holidays, and I'm genuinely glad you found it peaceful and relaxing despite the couple of quirks. You're spot on about The Rustic Roost (our cozy attic suite)—it's the last holdout from the "vintage cabin era" and yes, it still proudly wears its original 90s charm like a badge of honor. The shower stall is of standard size with a vaulted ceiling above, but you are correct, it pales in comparison to the humongous shower in the master bedroom. We're actively planning the full remodel for 2026 to bring it up to the same updated standard as the rest of the house. The entire property has been a labor of love, and remodeling that room will certainly be a fun project! In the meantime, I promise the quiet, the river views, and the Christmas magic you enjoyed aren't going anywhere. Thanks again for the kind words along with the constructive feedback—it helps us keep improving and I truly honor all feedback as a way to learn and improve the experience for all guests. Yours, Kurt

Thank you so much for your fantastic review and for sharing your wonderful stay with us—we're over the moon that you were able to truly relax, enjoy the fishing, soak in the jacuzzi, and make those cozy s’mores memories by the fire pit! It's great to hear the house felt well-stocked and ready for all your adventures, from paddling the kayaks right out back to exploring nearby Rainbow Springs State Park. That crystal-clear, magical spring-fed river and the park's stunning features—like swimming in those sapphire-blue waters, hiking lush trails, and spotting wildlife—are such a special bonus just a short drive away. We're thrilled it added to your perfect getaway! We can't wait to welcome you back for more relaxation and fun—your kind words mean everything and help others discover this peaceful spot. Safe travels, and come back soon! Kurt

Thank you Donna so much for your wonderful review and for choosing our home—we're thrilled you had an amazing time and loved the amenities! It means the world to us that you'd stay again and recommend it to friends and family. We appreciate you mentioning the dirt road; it's a peaceful, private setting that many guests enjoy for that secluded feel, and while it can be a little bumpy, I too find it worth the "bumps"... We'd love to welcome you back anytime—safe travels until then!

Lisa, thank you so much for the wonderful review. We’re thrilled to hear that the cabin was the perfect setting for your men’s weekend. The picture of the guys all together smiling you sent me privately brought me such joy. It’s great knowing they all enjoyed the space, amenities, and those classic moments—grilling steaks, playing games, and making s’mores by the fire pit. That’s exactly the kind of experience we hope every guest has! We’d be honored to host you again anytime. Wishing you and the whole crew all the best until next time!
