Charming Santa Fe River Cottage - 10-15 min from 3 of FLA's most popular springs

Recently renovated 2 bedroom river cottage just a short walk from the Santa Fe River. Conveniently located near several Florida springs, great dining, & unique shopping. Check out our guest book for more info. **We highly recommend purchasing trip insurance that will cover a variety of issues that may arise prior or during your trip. Examples are medical events that prevent or shorten your stay, vehicle problems or accidents, and natural disasters (i.e. tropical storms and hurricanes) that require mandatory or suggested evacuation. Florida in the summer is always subject to strong storms which often cause lengthy power outages that can affect the property and could electively cause guests to shorten their stay. Trip insurance would potentially cover the remaining days depending on the policy purchased.

Had a great time
The house was very nice, it has a nice atmosphere and had room enough fir the five of us. During the day we enjoyed the ichnetucknee springs, which are very close by, and at night we relaxed on the patio. The owners were very quick to answer any questions we had, and we had a great stay.

Not your typical Florida experience.
This place was awesome. Quiet laid back area. Right on the river and fairly close to the beach. The screened in second story balcony was nice place to have morning coffee and just relax. Definitely exceeded my expectations.

Cozy weekend retreat
As listed.. beds were super comfy, a/c was nice and cold. Strong wi-fi. Secluded for sure, but a quick drive to High Springs for a cold beer and some dinner. Close to Rum Island 138 where we rented kayaks.
