Get away from it all. Easy access to Fanning Springs (1.0 mile up river) and Manatee Springs (8 miles down river). Bring a boat, or two 2-person kayaks available for use. Great views from the deck. Very peaceful.

Please make note the boat ramp at this property is not usable, however, there is a boat ramp at Fanning Springs which is minutes away.

Most people that know the Suwannee River feel that the home's location is fantastic, and the best of all the options. The river in this area is very large and grand, especially compared to up river where it can be quite narrow and crowded. It's size makes it great for skiing, tubing, and boating, and dealing with other boaters isn't really an issue. It is far enough up river (about 32 miles by boat) that you don't have the biting yellow flies of the coast, but close enough to boat down to the coast and back for fishing, or spending the day on your own private secluded island beach. The area has very little development as well, so you get the real sense of being in old world Florida. It truly is a unique, wonderful experience.

Please note: cell service may be limited. Unit does have WiFi. This property is quite rustic and remote, and is a great way to get away from it all. However, there is limited access to cellular phone service. Please understand the nature of your get away before booking.

Master bedroom with queen bed, guest bedroom with double bed and pull out sofa in family room. Sleeps 4.

Enjoy sitting around the firepit or watching the sturgeons jumping by while sitting on the floating dock. In the winter you may see a manatee. Nature at it's best.

One of the more common questions we get is regarding docking a boat at the property. You have a few options with regards to keeping a boat on the Suwannee River (flow of the river and boat wakes are a problem). Approximately 1/2 mile down the road from our rental house is the Fanning Springs boat ramp.

Leaving the boat in the water with the current and other boaters creating wakes is possible, but not optimal. You can tie-off to the floating dock but you would need several good boat-bumpers. Again, the current and boat wakes put your boat at risk unless you are careful, and we are not responsible for boat damage or lost boats. There is room to keep a boat, trailer and vehicle at the property.

    This was the most well stocked rental I have ever stayed at. It was perfect size for three adults and a baby in a great location with a beautiful view. We will be staying here again.

    The bungalow offered comfortable beds, a functional kitchen, and a beautiful setting for a family getaway. Highly recommend the manatee swim in Crystal River if you come during manatee season! Spent time checking out some local state parks. Especially liked Manatee Springs and Homosassa Springs. Thanks for the great stay!

    Great location near several state parks. Property is on a well and the water had a lot of iron in it, no issue but just something to be aware of and consider bringing your own drinking water.

    We loved the stay. It was very relaxing drinking a coffee in the morning and viewing the river from the living room. The bungalow is easy to access and near most of the springs and only 7 minutes from Walmart and windixie

    Excellent well taken care of property. Nice area to explore nature type stuff. But the best part was sitting on the dock in the morning watching lots of sturgeon jumping, very cool experience.

    I have returned to this trailer several times. I love the location and the river is absolutely beautiful! I would love to see the owner buy another pot for cooking. There is only one large pot and I was trying to cook corn on the cob and spaghetti--so I had to do it in shifts. I also wish the owner would have salt and pepper. Thankfully there is a Dollar General right down the road. If you want a place to truly get away and enjoy nature, this is the place for you. The jumping fish are an added delight!

    We had a very comfortable stay in Old Town. We enjoyed all the local Springs that we swam at. Grocery stores and restaurants were all with in 6 miles. We will return again next summer.

    The stay was ok. The water was terrible. We did have drinking water, it was the well water. We did not use the washer because of it. The grass was very overgrown. It was clean inside.
