A TOTALLY PRIVATE LOG CABIN AND FENCED IN 5 ACRES FOR YOUR OWN PRIVATE USE!

ESCAPE! Take that long promised time for yourself. Read, write, meditate, relax with your entire family or friends! You book it ALL!!

Gourmet kitchen, dining room, living room, spa room, outside pool, 5 acres fenced in woods and grounds, and laundry room. Includes 2 downstairs bedrooms and one open loft bedroom upstairs/ 2500 PRIVATE sq/ft of Luxury and solitude.

Relax at the Cabin, or use this as your base for river tubing, kayaking, fishing, hiking. whether you want to rent a kayak or canoe and go “Way Down Upon the Suwanee River” or sit on an inner tube and float for an hour, or 6 hours, down the Santa Fe River, or paddle board the various Springs, or just go swimming in the Springs they are ALL close and accessible!!!

The bedrooms look out on woods and fields, and one does not have to look hard to see bunnies and deer wandering by.

The Spa Room was designed to create a space of relaxation and peace. An early morning meditation in the spa room, use the upper-body and elliptical machines, do your sit ups on our provided mats. and don't forget to do your LOW impact aerobics in the 100* water of the spa- and purge your body of toxins in the 3-person SAUNA as you read a book from my library, and then a jump in the cool water of the outside pool,( the Swedes jump into the snow- hey this is Florida!) is a wonderful way to start any day! just lay back on the 8-person couch and relax!

End the day back in the Spa room, repeat the morning ritual before bed, (and don't forget to brush your teeth), and get a good night’s sleep, because the big decision in the morning is "do we go exploring" or hang out at the pool and spa room again today?"' Decisions, decisions, decisions!

Walk the five fenced in acres of the property. Set up your easel under one of the many 100-year-old trees and paint your day away or set up your table and set up your laptop (wireless available through much of the property), and work on your novel, memoirs, or write that love letter that is so long overdue.

The kitchen is fully stocked and ready to serve eight! Just bring your food, spices and recipes! The kitchen is open design, so the chef(s) can talk with those in the living and dining room, and the kitchen is big enough to accommodate up to SIX people cooking in it at the same time. With the open kitchen the chefs can converse and see all in both Dining room and Living room

The Oasis in the Woods sits within an hour of both quaint villages on the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico – less than three hours ROUND TRIP to either coast! One of the few locations in the entire United States that can boast this! WHERE ELSE CAN YOU BE ON EITHER THE GULF OF MEXICO AND ATLANTIC OCEAN BEACHES IN LESS THEN 90 MINUTES! Take that day trip to that quaint fishing village on the Gulf of Mexico after working out and relaxing in the Spa Room and still be back in plenty of time to work out or relax in the sauna, swim-spa or outside pool; and STILL be in bed by 9 PM! After all, tomorrow you will be doing the SAME routine to visit the Atlantic Ocean instead.!

The HARDEST decision you will probably make is " DO i want to go out site seeing? the Gulf of Mexico? the Atlantic Ocean? both less than 90 minutes away!

Do I want to travel less than 20 minutes for 3 rivers for kayaking and inner tubing?, the best white-water rapids in FL? the best under water cave diving in the entire United States? Over 6 beautiful different parks with Natural Springs?

Do I want to go to a wild game rescue park 10 minutes away? horseback riding around the springs? or visit a place that houses Falcons?

Maybe just go Antiquing in Rural America?

OR MAYBE, JUST MAYBE... we should stay home at our PRIVATE CABIN/SPA and just CHILL?!

DECISIONS, DECISIONS, DECISIONS!!!

Your only regret will be, "WHY DIDN'T WE BOOK THIS FOR LONGER?!"

This place has a great cabin vibe! Fireplace, swim spa, pool, and sauna—plenty to enjoy. The swim spa water was super clean. Like most saunas, it takes about 45 minutes to heat up, so a little planning is needed.The fireplace was clean and ready to go, with kindling provided. The kitchen was well stocked with quality cookware—not the peeling Teflon you often find in rentals. The oven is a convection oven, and we had fun making some great “air-fried” food before we even discovered there was an actual air fryer under the sink.The grill fired right up with no issues and was clean, in good working order, and fully stocked with propane.Our favorite spot was the back porch. There were several lawn chairs to relax by the pool, and it felt extremely private. Tan-colored tarps cover the few spots visible from the road, which made a big difference.Eric was attentive without being overbearing. We really enjoyed the cozy cabin atmosphere—especially the fireplace and swim spa during 32-degree weather.

Awesome get away

My family of 5 stayed here for a long weekend. Had tons of fun at the various springs that are closely located and whenever we weren’t out or during the rain the cabin offered plenty of fun and comfort for things to do. For an added bonus there is a butcher shop close by with some amazing east that complimented our stay.

Awesome Couples Getaway!

We had an amazing time! There are so many amenities to enjoy at this property and it is close to some great natural wonders. We drove to the gulf to take in a sunset one evening and spent a day kayaking in the Santa Fe River and cooling off in Ginnie Springs. The rest of the time we hung out at the property and enjoyed the seclusion.

Peace and Quite in the Country

We were looking for a quite, not so fancy place in the country to relax and found it with this rustic log cabin. Even though we never saw the sun and it rained most of the time we would sit on the large front or back porch reading a book and listening to the rain on the tin roof or we sat in the large swim spa and enjoyed the jets. A couple of times we were able to use the pool (very clean) but without the sun the water was still cold.

Took my family to the area to visit the springs. The house was spacious and homey. Minor maintenance issues that didn’t bother or affect our stay.

Peaceful get away in a great location!

Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay. The spa wasn't warm enough to get in the first couple of days, but Eric was kind enough to let us stay an extra night to make up for it. The area had a few hidden gems that we just happened upon, such as the Mystic Jungle, which is an exotic wild animal sanctuary. We also met a VERY kind couple who took us horseback riding along a beautiful spring fed river. Also the area is one of the top 10 place in the US for it's natural springs with crystal clear water that you can kayak, paddle board, or tube down.

My family and dog had a fantastic time at this cabin. It was quiet and so relaxing, exactly what my family needed with our normally hectic schedules.The spa room with swim spa was great! Eric provided everything we could possibly need. Just down the road is a dollar general if you forgot your toothbrush! Everyone in the area is so nice and is located close to so many beautiful springs if you even feel the need to leave! My husband and I loved watching the kids try to catch frogs and enjoy nature.

Beautiful cabin in a serine environment. Amazing host, clean, and the pools were awesome!

I would really recommend staying in Eric’s beautiful log cabin in the woods. We had such a great stay. He opened his home to us and gave us full access to the place which was well stocked, clean and beautiful. The room had a nice comfortable bed and nicely decorated. Kitchen and bath were also very nice, clean and had plenty of essentials if you wanted to make a meal. The jacuzzi was Amazing! We had such a good time relaxing in the huge indoor swim in place heated pool as well as the outdoor one. Very close to many of the beautiful natural springs and hiking the area is known for. I couldn’t recommend this cabin and Eric enough, I wouldn’t hesitate a second to rent another room or entire place from Eric again. Truly a wonderful experience.

This vacation cabin was absolutely great. It is especially perfect for couples. The peace and quite from the cabin being secluded is great. There is no one to bother you at all. The hot tub was amazing. We spent hours just sitting in the hot tub watching movies. The pool area is very nice and very clean. All rooms and the whole house has a very clean and relaxing feeling. We could go to jacksonville in just over an hour. Eric is great at communicating and is very polite. He will fix any issues you have and otherwise will leave you alone. Thanks alot eric!!

Eric was super helpful and responsive to any question or concern. He walked us around the property and gave us tips on how to have a wonderful stay and then wished us a nice weekend and headed out. We loved the sauna and hot tub. It was so nice to be able to unplug from reality for a couple days. We would absolutely return for another amazing stay!

Wonderful place to escape!

My 2 friends, wife and I decided to get away for the weekend and found Eric’s cabin. It is a beautiful property out in the country with tons of privacy. To clarify some other reviews I read. Eric and his wife DO NOT STAY on the property with you. They meet you when you arrive, give you a quick tour. (This property is beautiful and obviously expensive so there are some things he needs to explain in person to make sure you don’t harm his property!) After a quick tour it is all yours! We enjoyed the jacuzzi! The beds were extremely comfortable! We loved everything about this place, Eric and his wife are very nice people and seem extremely open minded to people who want to escape their reality! We will absolutely be back!

We had a great stay, very secluded and private place, close to a lot of state parks. Loved it!

First of all, we booked this place for our honeymoon. My wife and I were looking for something cute, in the woods, private, with access to lots of nature, and with a hot tub! This place met all of our needs! The communication with Eric was great from the very start, he helped accommodate a few requests and answered all of my questions prior to booking. When we arrived, we met with Paul who let us in, gave us a key and showed us around the place and answered all of our questions. Paul was very friendly and very helpful. He even went back to his house (next door) and brought us over some DVDs, his personal expreso machine and then coffee that goes with it and he let us borrow all of that for the duration of our stay. The hot tub was AMAZING! The location was great and we got to see 4 different starte parks and natural springs while we were there. We ended up having the entire cabin to ourselves, even though we only booked one room; thanks to Eric choosing to block off the remaining rooms so that we can have the entire cabin for us as a wedding gift! How nice of him! We were able to cook meals at home since my wife has a very strict diet. Eric’s kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. The only reason why this review doesn’t get 5 stars is due to the overall cleanliness of the place not fully meeting our expectations. But other than that, We ABSOLUTELY loved the place and had a phenomenal few days of honeymoon that we will forever remember and cherish. Thank you Eric for making it possible! Hope your time in Africa with your fiancé is going fantastic! Cheers, David & Jaci Diez-Perez

Absolutely Perfect

Eric is wonderful. The house is beautiful, exactly as described. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Eric was very detailed in showing us how to access and utilize everything in the house. The location is perfect for kayaking the springs/river. The snorkeling/diving areas are so exciting and beautiful. The 406 restaurant within a 15 minute drive is outstanding! This stay was by far better than our Costa Rica rental. It is exactly as pictured. We were surprised to see there was a gym with a sauna, we didn’t notice in the description we were so excited about the swim spa which is to die for. We didn’t want to leave. We will definitely be back! Thank you Eric!

Host profile image
The Oasis in the Woods i my permanent home when I am not traveling. I am a writer, and have worked as a waiter, house painter, laborer, and have owned 6 businesses including a cooking sauce company, a catering company, and a seafood marketing company. I have worked in the corporate world in developing and marketing seafood, and am an expert in creating "value added" products from commodities. I have been a homeless advocate, a writer, an instigator, and a lover of justice and peace. I currently want to use all of my skills to provide you with he best guest experience when you visit my home.

Why they chose this property

The log cabin chalet has 18 ft high ceilings in the living room and spa room, and gives you a sense of openness not often found in many places. The bedroom looks out on woods and fields, and one does not have to look hard to see bunnies, coyotes, and deer, wandering by. The spa room was designed to create a space of relaxation and peace. An early morning meditation in the spa room, (meditation cushions and mats are available), a walk on the treadmill, upper body multi-machine and pull up machine30-50 "laps" in the endless pool, sit in the sauna and purge your body of toxins as you read a book from my library, and then a jump in the cool water of the outside pool, is a wonderful way to start any day. End the day back in the Spa room, repeat the morning ritual before bed, (and don't forget to brush your teeth), and get a good night’s sleep, because the big decision in the morning is "do we go exploring" or hang out at the pool and spa room again today?"' Decisions, decisions, decisions! Walk the five fenced in acres of the property. Set up you easel under one of the many 100 year old trees and paint your day away, or set up your table and set up your typewriter or laptop(wireless available through much of the property), and work on your novel, memoirs, or write that love letter that is so long overdue. Need quiet and solitude to write that business plan, get to work alone, or book all three rooms for your collaboration with your compatriots.And at night, light a fire in the outdoor fire pit, and make smores!

What makes this property unique

Luxury and Tranquility Get away from the commotion. Get away from the smog and noise. Relax in a Log Cabin home built for relaxation and tranquillity! Want to catch up on that novel you promised to start 5 years ago? Read that book that you started last year? Paint the picture you have been seeing in your head over and over?
