About this property

Wakulla River Retreat- Manatee Cottage

Relax, Unwind, Rejuvenate. Wakulla River Hidden Cottage is a lovely 2 bedroom/1 bath and nature lover’s retreat. The cottage is nestled on a partially wooded lot and is just a 4-minute walk to the gorgeous spring-fed Wakulla River, to the park, boat ramp, and community dock. A large screened porch runs the length of the cottage and a wide kitchen window overlooks the lovely private back yard.

Explore the river in a comfortable Old Town canoe (with seat backs and cup holders). The canoe is available to rent from us for a reasonable rate. Or relax at the house in front of a large screen smart tv and watch movies on a rainy day. Grill out or read a book under an umbrella on the back yard deck or walk the wooded neighborhood. Enjoy the private backyard and the colorful perennial flowers and garden spot.
Start your day with coffee or morning meditation from a private deck that sits just off of the kitchen, high among the trees, and overlooks a wooded walking path that winds through the woods along the side of the cottage.

You will love this sweet cottage and will return home after your visit renewed and refreshed! The cottage is so close to a plethora of parks, places to paddle and hike, the coast and is just 20 minutes from south Tallahassee.

Wonderful Stay!
What a wonderful cottage! The host, Sarah, went above and beyond to welcome us and make us feel comfortable. The cottage is located in a great location close to many hotspots for birding and nature exploring. Upon arrival we were greeted with delicious homemade muffins and fresh eggs that came from the neighbor’s chickens. The cottage was very clean, comfortable, and cozy. It was fully stocked with all the necessities and much more. A canoe & kayaks were available for our use but unfortunately we ran out of time to use them. We very much enjoyed sitting on the porch at night and listening to the owls. We are looking forward to another stay here in the future!

Quiet and comfortable
This property is outstanding. We heard Barred Owls in the evening while relaxing on the amazing screened in front porch. The neighborhood is very quiet and is close to great attractions like St Mark’s NWR/lighthouse, Wakulla Lodge, andSt.Mark’s/Tallahassee bike trail. The host is very interested in her guests’ experience. Would recommend.

Birding adventures
We stayed at this beautiful property to go birdwatching in Saint Mark’s national wildlife refuge. Some of the most beautiful birds and so many of them! The home was exceptional! We felt very welcome. super clean. One of the most comfortable beds I have had in a vacation rental ever. We will definitely come again.
