About this property

Peaceful property on the historic Suwannee River.

The Suwannee River Manor is located West of Gainesville Florida. Situated on a peaceful 10-acre property surrounded by a beautiful landscape of large canopy trees and on the shores of the historic Suwannee River. The six-bedroom, four-bathroom, 4,000 square foot house sits on a quiet and private landscape and offers plenty of space for your friends and family to stay. Located minutes away from the many natural springs in the area and just 30 minutes to the Gulf.
This is our first STR listing, and we look forward to hosting you!

The individual that books the home, will be required to sign our rental agreement which will be provided upon booking.

The river level does fluctuate. When the river is low, the dock has a steep incline making it difficult for some people to go up and down. Feel free to check with us to find out the current water level.

The home is very rural, spiders, bugs, snakes and all kinds of wildlife share the property too!

You are welcome to bring your ATV, SXS, dirtbikes or offroad vehicle, but must remain on the trailer while on property.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Thank you!

Property was great with a really well stocked kitchen. The only issue we had was the water pressure. Only one person could shower at a time. I’m sure this is an issue due to current drought. Hosts were great communicators and property had great access to all the outdoor amenities.

We had our little family reunion here and for the price this place was the best! It's an older home of course so keep that in mind but we loved that about it. Beautiful views, although when we stayed in Nov. 2025 the water level was terribly low, they actually had a burn ban in place which was a bit of a bummer to not be able to use the firepit but we went out and purchased a propane firepit and all was good in the world! Will likely come back again for another reunion.

We had a great time kayaking the local springs. We loved coming home every evening to this spacious home on the Suwannee River. The 6-bedroom house was clean with a well-equipped kitchen, large bedrooms, and comfortable beds. The wraparound porch offers beautiful views for enjoying our morning coffee. Our host quickly answered any questions we had. Our kayaking group would be glad to stay here again.

Amazing house on Suwannee River

We had a great family getaway at this beautiful house right on the Suwannee river, lots To do in the area, enjoying the springs nearby. Plenty of room for a large group(12). Loved fishing off the dock and keeping warm around the fire pit. Very please with owner communication when we had any questions. Thanks for the stay.

The property was absolutely stunning. It was a perfect fit for our big family. I would certainly give this property an excellent review. There should be a little bit more seating in the living room area if you have a big family. The house is located on the river so there are many steps steps to get into the house and steps of course to get to the second floor so if you have any issues with hips, feet, etc. be prepared it may take you a little bit longer to get in and out. Overall it was clean, accommodating with a beautiful view. We will definitely be back.

Southern Retreat

From the moment you pull in the driveway you’re transported back to old southern Florida (with all the modern amenities). The house is reminiscent of an old plantation with wrap around porches to sit with your favorite beverage, watch the river & listen to the choir of frogs, insects & birds sing their melodies. All the rooms were large, well appointed & clean. Every guest stated their beds were very comfy too. Our host was excellent with communication & very accommodating to our needs. We stayed here so we could go tubing at Ichetuckney Springs & there are other springs located nearby. I would definitely stay here again!
