About this property

Beautiful river-front cabin overlooking the Upper Suwanee River

A 400 square foot cabin overlooking the Suwanee River just 9 miles north of White Springs, FL and 40 miles south of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge in Southern Georgia. Considered the Upper Suwanee, the river here accommodates mostly canoe and kayaks due to the many gentle shoals that keeps boats with larger motors out. The Upper Suwannee is the most visually stunning stretch of the 225 mile long river. Surrounded by towering pines and cypress and the gnarly Ogeechee Tupelo, it is a great location for exploring, hiking, birding, canoe/kayaking, fishing or just plain enjoying the quite. Great location for an artist or yoga retreat. Local river guides and naturalists are usually available upon request. Canoe and kayaking rental available from nearby outfitters.

The cabin is pine and cypress wood construction with a large room and a kitchen and bathroom attached. Recently renovated. The exterior and interior wood is from local sources. There is a Queen size bed. The cabin is meant for 2 people but an extra mattresses available for children if necessary, no extra charge for the children. There is very little privacy inside, so keep that in mind (One big room), small kitchen and bathroom in separate room. Dog friendly except on furniture, pets must be kept clean (no cats due to allergy problems). Linen, blankets and pillows provided, as are cooking and eating utensils. There is a gas stove, electric refrigerator and 40 gallon hot water heater. Bathroom has a full size shower stall, no tub. AT&T and Verizon get reception. No wifi or cable. *Recent addition of large screened porch to enjoy view of river.

There is large fire pit for your use, as well as a charcoal grill, with charcoal to get you started.

The cabin site was the location of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp in the late 1930's. The CCC camps were created and funded to keep young men busy with meaningful work during the Depression in the US in the 1930's. From this camp the men built several bridges across the Suwanee River including one at this location, Cone Bridge. The steel pilings laying in the river are the only remaining evidence of the bridge. The setting is wooded and open, with very large pine trees, magnolia and hickory.

Excellent HIking trails at the nearby Florida State Parks: Big Shoals, Little Shoals, and Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center.

Great gateway Cabin!
My husband, myself and our little dog enjoyed the cabin very much. It’s a quiet and peaceful place. Dennis was super nice and ready to help us if we needed anything. We stayed 2 nights and I wish we could have stayed longer. The river view is amazing from the covered patio. We absolutely love it and can’t wait to come back.

Cabin was as advertised. Small but it was sufficient. We did not cook but there was a stove with necessary pots, etc. Tve location was remote down a 3 mile dirt road but the road was good. I would stay here again.

Had to come back :)
We had a great time, just like our last visit. This time we had better weather were able to enjoy a visit to Big Schoals along with the coziness of the cabin. As always, Dennis was a hospitable host. Highly recommend.

Moved to White Springs in 1974 and work as a geologist and ecologist. My wife worked in radiation therapy and is now a yoga instructor with a studio in White Springs.(Suwannee River Yoga)

Why they chose this property

While working in the area in the 1970's I would eat lunch at this location when working in the woods. I loved the history of the property and the river. When the property was broken into lots in 1983, I bought a nearby lot. When the opportunity to buy the river front lot came about in 2000 I bought the cabin site.

What makes this property unique

There are several wonderful day trips on the River. One of the most picturesque day trips for a canoe or kayak begins about 7 miles above the cabin at St. Rd. 6 where it crosses the Suwannee. The Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge is very accessible for day trips as is the Osceola National Forest. There are many more river trips available from here. There are other fantastic adventures to be had from this location into the surrounding area. Excellent hiking trails just a few minutes drive at the Big Shoals state park, and Little Shoals.
