Paddling the calm stretch

Where to put in, how long the float takes, and which section is gentle enough for an eight-year-old. What stays at the house is listed in the amenities on the property page, read live from the booking platform, that part is accurate now.

Everyone in one place

Reunions, birthdays, the week the cousins finally line up. How the sleeping works for three generations and where the noise goes. The bed-by-bed breakdown is on each property page, read live from the booking platform, so it is never out of date here.

“What an amazing place! We decided to take our family vacation to the springs this year instead of the beach and it was a wonderful decision. First the house was in a perfect location! It was away from the canals where the majority of the houses and most of the traffic was, which made for a clearer nicer part of the river. The house was stocked with everything you could possibly need. (Plenty of towels, dishes, kayaks etc…) The master bed was amazing! We enjoyed all of the wildlife, many manatees, deer, raccoons right in the backyard. This is one place that you will never regret booking and you will want to come back time and time again.”

“Great stay”

Daniel Cabrera · Airbnb

“The absolute best Airbnb I’ve ever been to! I loved the amount of kayaks, life jackets, rafts, etc. We never left the cabin, it had everything we needed and more. I loved being the first one out on the water in the morning, enjoying all of the beautiful nature. We had deers in the yard, 10+ manatees in the backyard. I’ve very picky about my beds and these were better than my own at home! We truly did not want to leave, we can’t wait to book another trip.”

The questions we actually get

These answers are also emitted as FAQ structured data, so search results show the same wording a guest reads here.

How does booking direct work?

You choose your dates here and finish payment on our own checkout at booking.riverrunretreat.com. Same company, same confirmation, no marketplace in between.

What is the minimum stay?

It changes by season and by weekend, and it is set in the booking platform rather than here. The exact minimum for your dates appears the moment you select them, we read it live, so it is never out of date on this site.

Where exactly is the house?

We show the neighbourhood and the drive times before you book, and send the exact address and door code as soon as your reservation is confirmed. That is a privacy setting, not an evasion, an occupied holiday house with a public address is a soft target.

Can we bring the boat? The dog?

The pet policy and any pet fee come from the booking platform and are shown on the property page and again at checkout. Trailer parking and boat access have not been confirmed for this house yet, ask us before you book and we will give you a straight answer rather than a guess.

Not yet confirmed for this house, ask us and we'll check.

What happens if we need to cancel?

The cancellation window is set in the booking platform and is shown in full at checkout, before payment, never after. The exact wording for this house has not been finalised, so we are not summarising it here; what you see at checkout is the policy that applies.

Not yet confirmed for this house, ask us and we'll check.
