Step back in time at this classic Old Florida river cabin nestled along the world-famous Ichetucknee River with its own private dock. Fed by crystal-clear natural springs that begin in Ichetucknee Springs State Park, the river flows into the Santa Fe and Suwannee Rivers before reaching the Gulf—creating one of Florida’s most pristine and scenic waterways.

Spend your days kayaking, floating, or fishing right from the property as you explore miles of untouched natural beauty.The river is teeming with wildlife—watch manatees, fish, otters, birds, and turtles glide through the clear waters. After a day on the river, clean your fresh catch at the on-site fish cleaning station or simply relax and soak in the peaceful surroundings.

The main living space is located on the second floor and features three bedrooms and one full bath, along with a large screened-in porch offering plenty of seating. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee, read a book, listen to the river flow, or watch local wildlife at play.

Downstairs, guests will find a second full outdoor bathroom and a spacious screened recreation area complete with a ping-pong table, comfortable seating, and ample storage. The outdoor grilling and serving area with sink makes family cookouts and evenings by the river easy and enjoyable.

This is a rare opportunity to experience your own slice of Old Florida riverfront paradise—peaceful, natural, and unforgettable. Conveniently located near Fort White, Branford, High Springs, and Gainesville, you’re just a short drive from shopping, dining, attractions, and small-town historic charm while still feeling a world away.

Key Features:
Living Space: Open-concept living and dining area.
Kitchen: A fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to prepare delicious meals.
Bedrooms: Comfortable sleeping arrangements for your group, including one room with bunk beds perfect for kids.
Indoor Fun: A selection of board games, books, and a ping pong table for entertainment.
Outdoor Living: Relax on the screened porch, grill meals on the deck, or gather around the fire pit under the stars.

    Cabin inside was very clean! Kitchen was stocked with necessary items. I completely understand the decks are open to the elements, but it would be nice to hose it down every so often. Wear your shoes outside. The boardwalk to the water is a good length, but that’s expected for the area. The house had all the fun water rafts/kayaks, the only bummer was you’re not provided the key for neighborhood park. So you have to use the State Park across the street and no instructions. It would have been nice to utilize the rafts from the house.

    The home was great and accommodated the party comfortably. The only issue we had was with river access. Due to locals not wanting short term rentals, the areas where you can launch and exit the river have been privatized and have large no trespassing signs posted. These launch and exit points from the river are kept locked and only residents have this key. Being that the river is the main entertainment and attraction it makes it very difficult to enjoy it unless you have a party big enough and two vehicles to shuttle people to the state park to launch from and then you are able to exit behind the home.

    House sits on beautiful Ichetucknee River in Three River Estates but owner does not give renter their key to use Hodor Park for access to the river. Owners answer to this problem is use the State Park access which charges an additional fee. The reason for renting is to be on the river with multiple floating each day. We have rented on this river many years and have always provided a key by the owner. No linens available for two of the beds. I had to buy linens so could use them. Mattresses need replacing, one particularly very lumpy. Shower leaks like a sieve.

    Pros: The house, grounds, and location were fantastic. Super clean place with comfortable beds, spacious kitchen, and a comfy living room area. Upstairs and downstairs screened in porches with tons of fans were also a delight. Tons of tubes, floats, and kayaks available to use. Cons: There was a miscommunication with the hosts, which they eventually corrected but it was an awkward experience. Host didn’t provide many things a vacation rental typically does such as beach towels, coffee, charcoal, laundry sheets, and laundry soap. There was no shower caddy for the upstairs so our soap had to sit on the floor. Would have been nice to have some chairs available to bring down to the lower part of the dock and a table for the upper part. We were told we had access to the parks but it is not available to renters unless you are willing to paddle against the strong current. Other option is to have two vehicles so you can launch from the state park which cost money to enter and is very restrictive on what vessels can be used. Nice place, great location, but the hosts could do more to make the place feel more like a home and less like a no frills hotel.

    This house/cabin is PERFECTLY situated on the Ichetucknee River. Clean, comfortable… huge screened in porches. It took our family about 2 and a half hours to paddle on the (available) kayaks upriver into the State Park and to the midpoint launch, and an hour to float/paddle back. The river access is… such a treat, and the deck out at the edge was much enjoyed. We saw a couple manatees swim by, even in April, which was a surprise.

    We loved staying at the Tipsy Turtle. The Ichetucknee river is one of our favorite places to visit. We did multiple float, snorkel, & kayak/SUP trips all from the Tipsy Turtle dock or the TREPO parks. We'll definitely be coming back.
