Historic Raney Guest Cottage in Downtown Apalachicola Florida

Such a treat! The cottage is beyond charming, so many interesting pieces of furniture, artifacts, artwork etc. Great porches for rain or shine. Can’t wait to go back!

The cottage was amazing! it is beautifully decorated and met all of our needs. It was clean and had a fully loaded kitchen. The location was excellent-we could walk everywhere in town. We would definitely stay there again.

Centrally located within walking distance to venues and shopping. Charming cottage and would stay there again.

Very comfortable, convenient, charming, quiet, and well-appointed. An evening on the porch which was glorious, clear, no bugs, and low humidity—very unusual for the Southland in the Springtime. I hope all future guests have as lovely a time as we did.

Great location. Rooms were nice.

Stayed here for the 2025 Porch Fest and it was a perfect setting for the trip. We had a total of 14 folks in town so we all met on the porch late Saturday morning for a pregame beverage. The location was perfect and two of the host music porches were just a half block away. We biked for Porch Fest but all of downtown is easy walking distance.

Loved the house,location and everytging!

Quick and easy access to downtown Apalach and Scipio Creek Marina! Small but cozy stay, just perfect for what we needed!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Raney Guest House in Apalachicola! Built in 1835, the home beautifully preserves its historic Old Florida charm while offering all the modern conveniences you’d want. Every corner of the house tells a story. From the clarinet lamp to the thoughtfully curated local artwork, it’s truly a one-of-a-kind place to stay.The location couldn’t be better! Just a short stroll to downtown Apalachicola, with its great restaurants, shops, and riverfront views. The owner was incredibly easy to work with and made check-in a breeze.This gem is now officially one of our favorite places to stay when we’re in town. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique, comfortable, and memorable getaway.PS- We didn’t take any photos of the house without our family members in it. However, the photos on the listing are true to life.

We had a great time being able to walk to all of the stores and restaurants! The house has a lot of character and would def stay there again.

We enjoyed our stay and walked to all the restaurants and shops. The weather was very cold while we were there and the house is cold. We were told not to turn heat above 73. A better TV would be good as well, we watched a football game on Sunday night on a 27” screen.

We came for an after Christmas break and to check out Apalachicola. The cottage was walking distance to pretty much everything. The beds were comfy and the place was spacious, except for the second bedroom, which was adequate but small. The kitchen is well appointed but the kettle on the stove was just for looks, don’t even ask what was in it when I tried to clean it. Even though a fireplace was advertised it was not operational, and I did call about it after we checked in, which was really disappointing. Even the instructions for the AC/heater pointed out how cozy the fireplace was when on. The art work had a LOT of modern pieces throughout, which didn’t really match the historic vibe. I would have liked to have had a few touches of seasonal decor, but we bought a poinsettia to make it feel a little Christmassy. All in all, it was just a weekend stay in an old quirky cottage in an old town. Still have mixed feelings about our stay at the Haney Guest Cottage.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Raney House! The location was close to downtown, a historic fishing town. Close to wonderful shops and restaurants. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and the claw-foot tub in the bathroom was so soothing! We will stay here next time we're in Apalachicola..I hope it's sometime soon!!

Impressed with this cottage built in the 1800's! Modern conveniences added to the property enhanced our stay. Very convenient to downtown for shopping, eating, and sightseeing. Hope to stay again in the future!

We had a great stay. We were in walking distance to bars/restaurants and parks and enjoyed them all.
