If you are coming to enjoy the wonderful outdoor opportunities in our area, be sure to check out our unbelievably beautiful natural springs (Suwannee Springs/22miles, Ichetucknee/34 miles, Ginnie Springs/44miles) as well as the Big Shoals Trailhead located 5.5 miles away or the Florida Trail 5 minutes away. If music festivals are your jam, the Florida Folk Festival at the Stephen Foster Culture Center State Park is a favorite and only a five-minute walk or just 20 minutes away is the Spirt of Suwannee Music Park.

Hillside Abode is exactly as described, and even better than in the photos. Easy to find and access, very clean, and with everything you need, no matter how long your stay is.White Springs is in a great location, central to several state parks, and springs. My husband and I live on Florida's"Space Coast", which seems to get more developed and crowded by the day. It was a pleasure to enjoy a few days in the quiet, peaceful surroundings of White Springs. It was even better to return to this lovely home after a day of exploring a nearby park, or spring. We loved sitting out on the comfortable deck in the evenings. Cooking meals was easy in the well equipped kitchen. The owners have gone out of their way to make this a 5 star vacation rental. Out of all of our many Vrbo stays, this was the best!
