The property was great. It provided a quiet solitude that we were looking for. John was a great host and was very attentive to our needs. Definitely plan to book another stay in the future.
This place and our host were great! Everything was very clean, and everything you could want is already provided (and more). We will definitely make this one of our regular spots whenever we need to get away from the city. I highly recommend staying here for a great time!
Mr. John is absolutely amazing made everything very comfortable. The place is humongous. I recommend it and if you have pets they’re gonna love it. Just want to say thank you so much to Mr. John.
This was the perfect place for some old friends to meet and catch up while enjoying John's property, hospitality, and cabin. Great location if you want to visit springs, play on the water, or just hang out around a campfire.

Really enjoyed Albert and his friends visiting the cabin. Excellent guests, would welcome back anytime.
Absolutely loved our stay—again! This was our second time renting, and we’re already looking forward to coming back. The house was spotless, thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed, and so comfortable. The owner is genuinely one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet—friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Don’t hesitate to book this place —you’ll have a great time and feel right at home!
Great cabin! Has everything you could possibly need during your stay! Short walk to the river and even has a dock, kayaks and bikes! Tons of games both indoor and outdoors. Lots of grills. Propane and charcoal. Lots of deer and turkeys on the property. John was the best. Let us know about all the springs and had maps and a whole book full of them! Very nice and helpful. Gave us great suggestions of places to eat and he was right they were really good!
If you are into the Florida outdoors this is the place for you. Nature oriented, very clean, kid and family friendly place. The owner has thought of everything - there’s are games, everything you can think of in the kitchen. There is lot of exploring, we saw turkeys and deer the first day we arrived. Everyone loved our stay and We cannot wait to go back
Excellent job on the property. Anything and everything you could/would need on premises. Great getaway of peace and quiet. Road to river was fine. We drove to and from in a basic car with no issue.
This is such an awesome property. My 2 best friends and I came for a girls getaway. We hiked. We kayaked. We swam in the nearby springs. We loved every minute of our time.The cabin is just as described and the setting is spectacular. A hidden gem.John is a terrific host. He responded to questions promptly and made sure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable.
I cant thank the owner enough this place is paradise for our family ❤️ we cant wait to stay long enough to enjoy everything we didnt want to leave the owner was super sweet just all around great person
Everything was just as described and beyond! It’s a great place for adults and children alike, and if you need anything, John is a text away! Will definitely book again!
We love staying here. We have stayed every year for I believe 4 years. It’s now became a tradition with our family. We look forward to it every year! Thanks John!
We had an excellent time at this property. Planned out and successfully did my wedding proposal!! This is a very nice location, peaceful and relaxing. The whole process was seamless, would highly recommend:)
Our family had a wonderful time at John's property. We visited Bobs River Place and several other springs in the area. We also enjoyed fishing at the property and grilling dinner and making campfires in the evening. The cabin was equipped with everything we needed and we cannot wait to return for another vacation! Thank you John for allowing our family and dogs to stay at your cabin and make some great family memories!

So glad you and your family enjoyed the cabin, property and nearby springs! Hope to see you on a future visit.

This vacation was one of the best that we have experienced. The house is cozy and has everything that you need and more. The kitchen has a vast variety of dishware, bakeware and utensils to cook the most complicated meal. For us, the location was great. The house itself is in a secluded area with shopping, restaurants and parks nearby. The walk to the Suwannee River was pleasant and great exercise for our dogs. We spent many hours on the deck reading and watching birds and deer. John, the host, was very friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable about the area.
Neat properly short hike to riverfront. John couldn’t have been more helpful.
Lots of places to visit around the area.
The river rose while we were there so we took advantage and kayaked in the area by the house.
Dogs loved it too.

About the host
Hosted by John Morley
John and Catie Morley have 4 grown boys and 3 dogs. We originally purchased the 8 acre Suwannee Log Cabin on the southwest corner of the property (next driveway towards CR340) so we had space to drive our ATVs and enjoy our boat. We purchased the adjacent 16 acre Suwannee Cypress Cabin and property to add space for larger family, friend gatherings and because of the unique property. Since the property was sitting idle between family visits we decided to open up the cabin and property to families and groups. Our focus has been to provide the maximize the amenities and furnishings for the convenience of our customers and to price it so all families can enjoy it at a reasonable rate. Now we truly enjoy renting the property out to families and groups who want to visit We really enjoy the privacy of the property, the large trees and abundant wildlife.
