About this property
Hillside Abode in the Heart of Historic White Springs and the Suwannee River
In the heart of North Florida and literally minutes to restaurants and attractions, the Hillside Abode will make you feel right at home in a safe and comfortable location with all the essentials you would want in a home away from home. Suited for corporate travelers, families, and couples. Wi-Fi equipped.
The historic Suwannee River, Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park, Suwannee River Bicycle Association, and American Canoe Adventures are all within a five-minute walk.
Conveniently located 3 miles from I-75 and less than 7 miles from I-10 and centrally located between Lake City (13 miles), Live Oak (15 miles), and Jasper (18 miles). Coffee and tea, along with the condiments are provided for all guests.
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. If sporting events bring you to our area, The Southside Sports Complex in Lake City is located just 16 miles away and Bienville Outdoors is an easy 10-minute drive.
You will need to be able to climb stairs to access the house as shown in the picture.

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!
