    The Suwannee River Gator Nest was exactly what my soul needed and my hosts couldn't have been more accommodating and kind. Incredible sunsets/sunrises, walks to the river (thanks to Denny's map!) and full-access to the back deck overlooking the river. By far, this stay was my favorite BW stay! Thank you Denny & Peggy!!!

    Our host, Denny, welcomed us warmly and showed us around his property, including a large deck overlooking the river and generous area to park. When asked, he suggested a place for dinner and in all ways was a kind, thoughtful host. We'll definitely visit again if in the region.

    Our host were some of the friendliest and kind people one could meet. They are the type that stop overs so pleasant. The site was well prepared and hookups available. The communication was superb as he met us a front to guide us in. Enjoyed the view of the river in the evening with a beautiful view of the sunrise in the morning. Thamk you to our host and hope to meet up again.
