Riverview Lodge-5 bdrm/ 3 bth Big Discounts

My coming to this part of the St Johns River dates back to the mid-1950's with my Mom, Dad and Brothers on vacation. When I think of that small cabin, that was built out over the river, and how we managed to have fantastic weeks of fun and pleasure and then compare it to the astounding property we enjoyed this past week, with the massive, spacious facility that it provided.... I'm sure that if Mom and Dad could have experienced it, they would have been amazed. If you like Middle Florida, you'll love the Riverview Lodge!If you leave Riverview Lodge and you haven't got that feeling of peace and contentmentburning in your heart....well....your "Woods Wet."

Amenities and host were awesome as they always are! We have been staying here for years and each visit is a great trip for our group. Thank you Mark for sharing this amazing lodge with our group. Already looking forward to next year!Regards,Mark

Location is truly stunning, the views are what make this home special. However, the house itself fell short of our expectations, especially for the premium price. The twin bedroom on the first floor is actually a converted office, and unfortunately, it was very uncomfortable for sleeping, there is no window covers and the lights will not allow you to sleep, this room is right in front of the stairs so everyone going up & down will see you. The refrigerator leakes, which meant we had to constantly clean up after it. One closet had an old appliance stored inside, which left the space with an unpleasant smell and look.Several outdoor amenities also need attention. The fire pit area was surrounded by dried bougainvillea branches with thorns, which made it hard to use safely. The spa jets only worked in one corner, and the BBQ grill only functioned partially, which was difficult for a larger group. The umbrella outside was unstable and unfortunately broke during our stay. Inside, the lights above the TV don’t turn off, and since there are no curtains on the first floor, the room stayed bright all night. We also noticed spider webs in several ceiling fixtures, particularly in the kitchen. The grill on the stove is filty, the property has incredible potential because of its setting, the home itself is not being maintained to the same “pristine” standard. With proper upkeep and repairs, it could be an amazing rental, but as it is now, it left us a bit disappointed.

Gorgeous cabin in a great location in Astor with a flawless boat house that has ample space for boat/jet ski docking. Lots of beds and very well stocked. The only downside to the cabin is there is a slight hornet issue we saw 10 dead and alive on the inside and outside of the cabin. Also multiple showers cannot be ran at once as the hot water is prioritized to the down stairs so anyone showering upstairs gets room temp to luke warm water.

Absolutely gorgeous
