About this property

Riverfront Lodge and Outdoor Retreat 5-bedroom on 13 acres

Have you ever dreamed of having your own private outdoor experience with lodging & space for camping for a family/large gathering? You've found the right spot. Come share the wonder of the Suwannee River at our place on the rolling Suwannee River. Enjoy the vast, rolling river front on 13-acres with lodging and outdoor space for your family and/or private gathering. Sutton River Ranch provides outdoor, riverfront property directly alongside the Suwannee River in Florida. Accessible by road or by river, you'll get to enjoy the best of both worlds when it comes to land or water adventure. Kick-back and enjoy the natural surroundings of paved walkways and wild animal crossings or a walk along the paved roads. Alternatively, spark joy by jumping into the cool spring-fed waters of the Suwannee (no alligators!) and the pristine waters of nearby springs (Turtle Springs 2 miles, Rock Bluff Springs 5 miles or Ichetucknee Springs 20 miles). There are 9 total springs within the county. The spacious 90 foot floating dock located on property is a great place to soak in the sun, watch a sunset or take plunge. The property is open to BYOV (Bring your own vessel). This property is a gem for water-loving outdoor enthusiasts!

Amazing getaway!
We absolutely loved our stay. We have two special needs kiddos and they had a blast! Plus we have three 18yr old boys and of course their friend. The river was too high and the current too swift to swim, but they had a blast fishing and playing the games in the lodge. All in all, this was an amazing stay for my family and I. I would 100% recommend.
