Photos and Description of the High Springs vacation house rental
House, 3 Bedrooms + Den, 3 Baths (Sleeps 10-12)

This is a unique, historic home cantilevered over the Santa Fe River and a short distance from Poe Springs Park. All glass on one side with 180 degree river views, it is newly remodeled with comfort in mind. From the giant sectional sofa and big screen tv in the great room to the down comforters and high quality linens, it is an incredible place to relax and unwind.

Hop into one of our *canoes or *kayaks and paddle down for a swim at Blue or Ginnie Springs. *(There is an additional charge for use of boats) Stay in and read a book on the hammock, fish from the dock, watch birds from the sitting room, do yoga on our spacious upstairs deck, or paint the beautiful scenery all while listening to the soundtrack of the frogs, birds, and paddlers floating by. Cook a gourmet dinner in our well-equipped kitchen and enjoy an evening on the deck under the tree canopy, or head into historic downtown High Springs for a great meal out and live music after an afternoon of antiquing.

Go tubing on the crystal clear Itchetucknee River or take a leisurely walk through O'leno State Park. Take a day trip and enjoy the coast at nearby Cedar Key, or the multitude of charming small towns and springs in the region. Drive twenty-five minutes to Gainesville and enjoy the museums, shops, and restaurants that surround the beautiful University of Florida campus, or take in a Gator football game. Ken's Den is truly the ideal place to relax and unplug.

We had a family retreat at this wonderful property. The home, the amenities, and details all thought out for a most pleasant river experience. A must to spend time on the river and this house is ideal for a wonderful peaceful retreat. Yoga, stretching, fishing, kayaking, cooking, and merrymaking are all easily obtainable from this great property. Our relaxing family escape was accomplished at this warm accommodating property.

Incredible Experience

5 of 5
Submitted: September 30, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
We stayed here for my brother-in-law's 40th birthday. When we travel, we frequently stay at vacation rentals on HomeAway. However, this far exceeded any other vacation rental experience we've had. This place is just incredible. It is so well-appointed and has everything you could possibly want or need. It is the perfect combination of luxury and laid back. We cooked several meals in the kitchen and fished off the dock until our hearts were content. We also canoed down to Blue Springs which was so much fun!

Best Rental on the Sante Fe River

5 of 5
Submitted: June 21, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
Our Family Reunion was perfect because of this house. Three families converged from all over Florida and had more than enough room and amenities to relax and enjoy each other's company. We took advantage of the roof top hammock and shaded wooden deck. We jumped off the large floating dock and swam in the river. We used the 5 canoes and kayaks to explore the river and found fossilized shark teeth and bones in the rocky shallows just downstream. The kids caught and released Bass and Bluegill right off the balcony with the provided fishing poles. The large kitchen and table was well appointed and perfect for all our meals. the rooms were clean and comfortable and the top-of-the-line washer/drier allowed us to pack fewer clothes. Plenty of parking and very nice neighbors (thanks for use of the rope swing!) Jennifer (owner) was professional and accommodating. We'll be back for sure!!

GREAT PLACE

5 of 5
Submitted: April 3, 2012 Stayed: March 2012
We had a great famiy vacation. Plenty of space and all the amenties we needed. I would absolutely recommend this home and plan to return next year to stay again. Only problem we incured was the river was very low so our Jon boat coud not go enter river near the home, but the owners can't control mother nature. But the manager did advise us on a boat ramp we could use that met the Sante Fe and the Swannee river that was a great treat. I wish pets were allowed but I understand the owners concerns.

Wonderful time spent on the river

5 of 5
Submitted: February 27, 2012 Stayed: February 2012
We stayed at Ken's Den over the Presidents Day weekend (2012) and had a relaxing time on the river and in High Springs. The house is one of the best VRBO's we have ever stayed in and we have been doing this for years. There is literally nothing to complain about. The place was clean, the descriptions were accurate and every time we needed something, with a little bit of looking we found it, The owners have really paid attention. There is plenty of living space for multiple couples or a big family, The outside space allows for people to spread out and the big wrap around couch in the living room can comfortably fit 6 to 8 adults. There are kayaks and canoes for your use and the dock is right in front of the house. Could not be more convenient. The property manager has a great antique/furniture store in downtown High Springs, drives to the property and goes over everything so you are not spending the first 2 hours figuring it out. Just a great VRBO. Oh, do bring drinking water!

We had a great time at Ken's Den. It was super convenient to all the local springs and downtown High Springs. We kayaked the river and had a blast. We even met local legend "Naked Ed". The place was clean and updated. I recommended it to anyone.

Special memories

5 of 5
Submitted: September 3, 2011 Stayed: July 2009
We have stayed at Ken's Den several times over the years for a week at a time when we just wanted to get away to cozy accommodations and commune with nature. Waking in the morning from a great night's sleep to enjoy coffee and watch the river flow set the stage for a day of canoeing, cycling, swimming or reading. Some happy family memories were made there.
