Perched directly on the Suwannee River and spanning over 12 acres with abundant wildlife and trails, this waterfront property offers a beautiful, secluded location amid the peacefulness of nature.

Take in the river views from the comfort of your screened porch while you watch the kids play in the yard sprinkled with large oak and pecan trees. Or head directly to the water to experience it firsthand. Your retreat includes a covered boat dock, a boat ramp for launching your boat or jet skis, and a charming deck along the river that is great for fishing. Spend fun-filled days on the water; it's only eight minutes by kayak to Hart Spring. Then head home to unwind in the hammock while the chef prepares a cookout on the grill (a gas grill, charcoal grill, and smoker are provided). End your vacation days with fireside chats around the wood-burning firepit.

Inside, wood floors, exposed beams, and rustic-chic decor create a lodge-like vibe. Wall-to-wall windows in the living area showcase views of the Suwannee River, and the sleek modern kitchen boasts a full suite of upscale stainless steel appliances. Enjoy the cozy reading nook offering great views from a picture window and a library full of books. Extra perks include a large collection of DVDs and board games.

When venturing out, Osceola Heritage Park and the center of Old Town are a short drive away. Check out Cedar Key with wonderful oceanfront dining. Cruise 45 minutes to Gainesville.

Explore many springs within roughly 30 minutes, including Manatee Springs, Fanning Springs, Ginnie Springs, and Ichetucknee Springs or the lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge.

Property Needs Attention

We rented this home for a rustic post-Christmas vacation with our daughter and son-in-law's family. There were many problems with the property, despite having lots of room for us and the beautiful river and fire pit outside. •The roaches were the main problem, in the kitchen and living room. We successfully smashed 5 of them and had to move the many roach baits out of the toddler's reach.•Towels were old and grungy with old blood stains.•Lightbulbs were burnt out or missing from lamps.•The screened porch's carpet smelled of strong mildew; screens were ripped and blowing in the breeze.•Kayaks/paddles were broken, rope hammock was rotten and slimy with growth.I really dislike giving poor reviews, but I cannot recommend this property.

Seriously need to think before renting it out again

Don’t waste your time or money! This is our second year coming to this cabin and very sad to say this will be our last. The entire house was infested with roaches and not clean what’s so ever. It seems that they know there is an issue with roaches because the entire house is covered in roach bait. Absolutely disgusting and now an issue we have to deal with going back into our home.

Great vacation place.

This home is beautiful, clean and very comfortable. Kitchen has everything you need. Spices, air fryer, nice dishes and very clean. Nice coffee and tea bar. Stairs outside are not very steep. My husband 81 yrs old had no problem going up and down them. We loved to natural yard. Saw 2 turkey hens crossing yard. We will definitely be back. And recommend this awesome home to anyone wanting beautiful peaceful and very quiet place to stay. Sending prayers for area during hurricane.

Steps from the Suwanee

This was property itself is just steps from the river. Good size for a family and furniture and beds were comfortable. Nice outdoor space on the decks. Yard and driveway subject to flooding due to proximity to the river. Unfortunately it did not live up to our cleanliness standards.

Suwannee river gem

This house was perfect for our trip. The house had exactly what we needed and the yard was a dream. Right on the river with beautiful views from the house and dock, kayaks for exploring and an awesome firepit to enjoy s’mores.

Stay on the Suwannee

We enjoyed our stay at this home so much, we are thinking about going back in July. We have a 23 foot center console with a hard top. The private boat ramp was great and the boat fit under the roof of the covered dock. We enjoyed the fire pit every night we were there. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your home.
