Located in the Florida "nature coast" region, this cabin sits directly on the famous Suwannee River, a great place for swimming, boating, fishing, canoeing/kayaking, and home to hundreds of natural springs (72 degrees year round) for snorkeling and scuba diving. Nearby are many state parks for hiking, (including tubing down the Ichetucknee River), and historic towns for antiquing. The cabin is peaceful and secluded with terrific views of the river and many opportunities for viewing wildlife and interesting Florida birds. Bring your fishing poles, bathing suits and binoculors!
