Cedar Hill Depot: Historic charmer 3 blocks from the Gulf
Welcome to the Cedar Hill Depot house where character and comfort meet.
Built in the early 1950's it has endless charm, and with the recent renovations you also get all the comforts of today. At 650 sq ft the studio style cabin offers a spacious feel. The unique and fun train theme gives a special touch of history from the area. The train that linked East and West Florida from 1861 until 1932 was brought all the way to Cedar Key and played a big part in making this bustling little community. **We ask that all guests be over the age of 18.
At just 3 easy walking blocks from the water and 2 block from the delicious dining options of 2nd St, you won't need to drive unless you really want to. The famous Cedar Key Fishing Pier is less than a half mile and while you're out there check out the shops and restaurants on the water, the views at sunset can't be beat!
The bedroom is separated from the main living area but does not have a door. There is a comfortable Queen sized bed there and a cozy feel.
The main living area has a Queen sized sofa bed along with additional seating to comfortably have 4 people gathering together.
The kitchen is small with basic amenities. There is a sink, small refrigerator, cups, coffee and coffee maker and some disposable utensils and plates. You will want to plan on eating out or bringing food back for your meals as this kitchen isn't really made for cooking.
There is 1 full bathroom with a shower, sink and toilet. You'll also find shampoo, conditioner, soap and plush towels.
Outside there is a covered front porch with seating so you can enjoy the fresh air and watch the fountain in the yard.
Getting to Cedar Key usually takes a car but with this fabulous central location you might not need it once you get here. To get into the home itself you'll climb a few stairs but once inside it's a single level.
Parking for 1 car in the white gravel area in front of the cabin where it says train parking, park to the far left next to the fence. See map in the photos for location.

This location was perfect, located in a small quiet neighborhood, minutes feom the water and the beach, and restaurants. The whole town is super friendly and fun to explore. This little property is located right next door to the owners of the property who were very quiet and extremely welcoming.
Great accommodations for a couples weekend away. Perfect location, walking distance to everything

We were looking for a quiet and cozy getaway where we could walk to the beach, dining, and shopping, and this has it all. Very clean, the management is very professional and on point, they do not miss a beat. Will definitely do this again.
A perfect, romantic, modern stay with semblance to quaint, old-world Florida. We hope to be back soon.

The island is still recovering but the cabin was so cute. It was a lovely little place to stay while we drove around the coast, kayaking. Thanks for having us!

It's a little bit of nature's paradise--birds, flowers, butterflies! And that's just on the front porch. Super comfortable accomodations. Everything you'd want!
Convenient location and clean, comfortable accommodations. Great response from management to questions and the onsite owner was exceptionally pleasant and helpful, would stay there again.
