About this property

Suwannee Riverfront Retreat

  • Wake up to a beautiful sunrise. Sip your coffee from the balcony overlooking the river or walk out to your private dock to check your fishing line. Sit for a while and watch the beautiful Suwannee River go by. You might even see a sturgeon jump. Bring your boat (or rent one from local business), spend the day fishing, swimming in the nearby clear water springs and exploring the Lower Suwannee Wildlife Refuge. You can also head out to the Gulf of America. Clean your catch, cook it up and end the day admiring the changing colors of the twilight sky as it reflects on the water.

We had a great weekend staying in this beautiful house on the Suwannee River. Everything was great. We had our boat docked at the house all weekend, and had an amazing weekend of fishing, swimming in the springs, and exploring the river. 10/10, highly recommend this property.

River House

We had a wonderful stay at this adorable river house. It was supplied with everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting on the porch or deck and watching the boats on the river. Karen, the host, checked on us and replied quickly when we had a question. I have referred friends and family and we hope to stay there again in the future. I highly recommend this place.

Suwanee River

What an awesome cozy, clean house that sits right on the Suwanee River we were able to paddleboard fish swim right off the dock in an excellent location. Lots of memories. And a great location to where we were able to hit a great deal of springs in the area.

Better than a Hotel

The cabin provides a much more relaxed and home like environment than a hotel. It’s almost like being at home on a vacation but somewhere else! The cabin is stocked with more than you will ever need to have . Communication with Karen was very good. Thank you Karen for sharing your cabin with us.

Way down upon the Suwannee River :)

We enjoyed our stay on the river while visiting with family in the area. The river was just how I remembered from many years past. I look forward to our next trip. The only complaint was the traffic noise at night which may not be an issue for others. The morning coffee on the porch more than compensated for the traffic noise.
