Summary: Friends and I were kayaking the southern part of the Suwannee and needed a home base on the river. We enjoyed our stay. The place is definitely retro but it’s on a great piece of land on the river. The dock and boathouse were awesome to relax on and the yard is plenty big. Beds were comfortable as was the living room. Everything in the house was clean and a lot of space for us to hang out in the evenings after being on the river. Wi-Fi worked great, which was good because there was no cell signal. If we ever decide to kayak down that way again we would definitely look into staying again.

Summary: Great location Great river view Loved the raised screened-in dock porch. The house could use some updating. I dont have allergies but found house seemed to trigger a runny nose situation while there.

Summary: The property was beautiful and well cared for. The house was also very well cared for. The area is a very quiet and private place. We would absolutely love to rent this property again just not through Vrbo. They were the only horrible part of the experience. Property however is definitely a five star for my family and I.

Summary: I wasn’t going to give a review at all, I was raised if you don’t have anything nice to say then keep to yourself. The owners are next door and I mean next door, they see and watch everything you do. They have stuff in the rental so they are coming in and out all day. And they are watching you the entire time as well as their neighbors across the street. It’s truly unsettling. The house is old, needs lots of upgrades. The kitchen and the cabinets are gross, the bathrooms are even more so. The beds are hard as rocks. The back yard is great lots of area to play corn hole and stuff but you have the owners right there. We never had more then 7 spend the night but she thinks we did bc he knows better then us. If you don’t mind someone in your business 24/7 then signup for this place otherwise I would pass. I have been a customer of Vrbo for years and this is by far the worst experience. To be accused of things that never happened, I mean how could I hide anything they were right there. The house had no issues when we left. I did what was asked…I think someone is just finding a way to keep her security deposit.

Summary: Rustic River is a retro property sitting on bank of the Suwannee River in a remote area which is what we were looking for. Plenty of good restaurants in area within 20 - 30 minute drive, great bike trails and golf at the throwback Chiefland Golf & Country Club. The house is campy but very serviceable and met all of our needs. Mary Beth and Joe are great hosts.
