ユニークウォーターフロントタイニーコテージ

This unique little cottage got its start as a 10’x12’ storage shed used to store tents, tools, and other items needed to cleanup, and maintain the dock and property. Built mainly out of necessity with the outdoor shower stall being it’s first addition; over time the shed evolved into the cottage you see today. A small window unit provided AC in the summer and a space heater took care of the heat in the winter. Over the next few years, the cottage became a labor of love for my late husband and me, with the addition of the indoor bathroom and then a small bedroom. The covered front porch is the final addition providing a wonderful space to relax and enjoy a beverage after a long day of outdoor adventure.

This property is best suited for two people who want to re-connect with nature at it's best and leave the hustle & bustle of the city behind for a few days.
The average stay is generally 2-4 nights but I have had a few writers or artists looking for solitude for longer periods of time. My per stay cleaning fee is based on that therefor longer stays will be subject to additional cleaning and linen fees for your comfort.

This is a private, secluded, cozy spring front retreat designed for enjoying the outdoors but keep in mind nature can be unpredictable and unfortunately, as much as I would like to, I cannot control it. In Florida, rain doesn't generally last for long periods of time. unless there is a hurricane. When there is a pending hurricane, based on its intended path, I will generally suggest rescheduling guests for their safety.
All Florida springs are effected daily by the waterways they are connected to. The Suwanee River and its tributaries experience minimal water level changes with the daily Gulf tide and rain levels. Occasionally however, if the rain levels are significant upriver, even as far as the Okefenokee swamp in Georgia; the river levels will rise pushing the river water (brown water) and sometimes aquatic vegetation into the tributaries temporarily covering our springs. This does not effect kayaking or canoeing but you may choose to swim a few miles south at Manatee Springs where the ground elevation is a little higher and the springs are rarely impacted by higher water levels. To monitor the water levels in our area go to real-time river levels on the internet. Scroll down to the Suwannee river and click the Wilcox station. This will give you the river levels for the last 30 days. A good reference number for clear swimming in our little spring would be about 4 feet or under. If this is important to you please monitor the levels because I will not be able to provide a refund due to elements beyond my control.
