Memorial Day weekend getaway

Everything was just wonderful. Hosts communicated quickly & were just great at making our stay memorable. Loved the back deck listening to the birds. My husband fished. I did some kayaking & biking. Lots of little things made the place special & it was very clean. Couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing weekend. We’re only a little over an hour away & would definitely book again.

Excellent Stay

This place is a little piece comfy cozy. It has all the amenities you need and is half an hour away from grocery stores. Patti and Dave always kept in touch with us to make sure that we had everything we needed. We really appreciated how they went the extra mile to make sure that our home away from home was enjoyable and hope to book again for next year!

Fantastic

This was honestly one of the best stays I have had on VRBO. The host was thorough and thoughtful. We did not want for anything the whole weekend. Clean, great location on the river, great amenities. Honestly can't say enough about this one.

Mr. Clean is a poor second to Pat

Clean and charming. With the Withlacooche River at your door and a wide number of bike and hiking trails close by you have the perfect location for innumerable outings. In addition you have I-75 fairly close so you have the perfect base to access most of Florida both north and south. After a hike , bike or kayak adventure enjoy a relaxing deck and backyard along the river to kick back with a cold drink and prepare dinner over the grill or over the campfire along the River.

Charming Relaxing Cottage on the River

My husband and I wanted a little getaway for our anniversary. We found Dreamcatcher Cottage about an hour from us and so glad we decided on this one! Patti and Dave are friendly and welcoming. They live next door but we had plenty of privacy to relax. They offered for us to check in early and stay late beyond the stated times. It rained the first two days so we enjoyed inside; very quiet and clean, lots of books and games to spend the time (there's a tv and vhs/dvd available as well, which we didn't use). Kitchen is well-appointed and had everything we needed. Backyard is spacious and private and so beautiful on the river. My favorite part was sitting outside at dusk by the river and just watching and listening to the wildlife and the wind in the trees. Saw blue heron, turtles, and a gator (who floated peacefully by). Across the street is a little restaurant that had great food and a friendly waitress. Lovely quiet little area. Thank you Patti and Dave! We will be back and will recommend to all!

3 days during spring break/bike week

Very happy with this rental. Everything was immaculately cleaned and of high quality. Owners were available but not imposing. Great location on the river close to two restaurants and the bike trail. We really enjoyed use of the boats provided and appreciated having wood readily available for a campfire. It was nice to be able to bring our four legged family members as well. The only drawback might be the proximity to the road, the sound of cars can be pretty loud, but all the other amenities outweigh that in my opinion and it wouldn't deter me from staying here again.

A dream vacation at Dreamcatcher Cottage!

My husband and I stayed the weekend here with our 2 boys ages 8 and 14 and could not have had a better time. The hosts were friendly, communicative, and very thoughtful. The river was amazing, the home was clean, they had every little thing we needed. This was exactly what we needed to relax and unwind. 10 out of 10, highly recommend!!

Fun family getaway

This is our second time staying in this lovely cottage just 3 blocks from where my brother's home is. We are planning on returning again next year. There are so many activities that you can do. One of our favorites was riding our bikes on the paved trail just a couple of blocks from the cottage.

We LOVE this cottage!

This is our second stay at the Dreamcatcher Cottage. Once again, we were impressed with the cleanliness of the cottage. The setting is so peaceful, right on the river. Well we didn’t utilize any of the available amenities such as kayaks or bikes, the fact that they are available at no additional cost is really great. Highly recommend Dreamcatcher Cottage!

Wonderful stay at Dreamcatcher Cottage

Everything about the cottage and the stay was great and was as described on the listing. Patti and Dave were friendly hosts, lovely people who made us feel very welcome with a great check in experience. They live next door to the property, are available if needed but are not overbearing in any way. Using the canoes on the river was a lots of fun. We had our own fishing gear but rods with reels were available in the shed for anyone not taking their own. A lot of thought and care has gone in to the decor and supplies in the cottage. We would stay here if visiting the area in future.
