Summary: This year was our second year staying here and to say we absolutely love this place is an understatement! The location is perfect, the dock serves so many purposes besides a boat dock! As a family of 17, youngest is 1, oldest is 51 it’s definitely worth it! It has all the accommodations for anything and everything! Not to mention if the house doesn’t sleep everyone there is a barn with 2 bedrooms, and 6 camper/rv spots as well! To end it on a good note we have already booked for next year!!

Summary: This property was amazing. We had 6 families, 2 of whom had their own campers. There were multiple camper sites with power and water, and the other families were more than comfortable in the house and lodge. We were also able to bring a boat. The dock was definitely one of the nicest on the river. Gilchrist Spring is only 20 minutes away and made a fun day trip. We would stay again. Thanks!

Summary: We came to Bell for my husband's 50th birthday celebration. This place was perfect for us in every way. It accommodates 24 people. We had family and friends come and the mail house looks like a cabin and is very cozy and comfortable. It has three bedrooms and two baths. Then you go to the lodge area and that is

Summary: We loved the property and the view of the Suwanni River.
jeffrey b. Dec 26, 2024 10:48:27 PM
Summary: Overall the place was great. the outside bathroom could use a little tweaking to make it 100% useable and it needs more garbage storage for larger groups. Would recommend it and stay again forsure!

Summary: Spectacular location! Quiet neighborhood. Amazing being right on the Suwannee River. The night sky and moon from the dock was incredible! Deer roaming around were an added bonus. The whole property was well set up for large groups. Lots of space for everyone to spread out but also lots of seating for everyone to come together for family time. Something for everyone to do right there without ever leaving but still only 10 minutes to the closest town. The fenced in areas were perfect for young children to roam and play. The ideal place for a large group or a family wanting to get away. The owner was great to deal with. Very helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. We highly recommend this listing and hope to book again.

It’s been a very long time since we’ve had all of them together their spouses and grandkids. What a great time. We used to camp at Ichnatucnee Springs when the kids were smaller, they love going there!!!
