Summary: This was a perfect location for our family and friends. The fire pit by the river was our favorite place to be and the home was comfortable and well appointed. The kids really enjoyed kayaking and canoeing on the river. We definitely will return. We have an amazing time! The only thing that we would love to see improved is the barbecue grill. It was very Rusty and we're not able to get it clean enough to use it which was unfortunate. Fortunately we had our own small portable grill that we used.

Summary: My husband and I had our small intimate wedding here and our wedding party stayed the night. The host was extremely accommodating with the event we requested and assisted us in making sure it was suitable for us and them. The house and grounds were absolutely perfect and as far as a December wedding goes the weather was wonderful on the river. We were very thankful it worked out as wonderfully as it did and this is a day we will always remember thanks to Camp Manatee’s crew!

Summary: Unfortunately, hurricane Helene had just gone through the night before and created a lot of mess on the property and the surrounding area. But it didn’t hinder the beautiful surroundings. There was no power in the area but because of the whole house generator, we were able to enjoy the house. We planned our trip around going to the nearby springs, But of course they were all closed due to the Hurricane damage. Nevertheless we made the best of it and anytime with family is a great time! Being on the river was beautiful. We canoed and explored the area. Grilled out and enjoyed the hot tub. We had a great time despite the circumstances. And will definitely come back for a do over so we can visit the beautiful springs nearby. Thank you Camp Manatee for coming through for us and for the constant communication throughout the process. Looking forward to our next stay!
