Feels Like Home – A Perfect Getaway!

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.

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!

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!

Best time - can't wait to go back!

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

Host profile image
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.

Why they chose this property

Whether you are a family looking for a cabin close to the springs, boaters looking for river access or a group just looking for a privacy and space at a reasonable price, the Suwannee Cypress Cabin is for you.
The 3 bedroom cabin is spacious enough for a large family or group, up to 8. There is a large living room with seating for 8, dining table able to handle 12 plus a covered deck with 6 chairs, a table and 6 chairs under the cabin and a campfire pit with seating for 8. The cabin is fully furnished for your convenience. Linens, towels, dishware, glassware, cookware, utensils, small appliances, BBQ's, We have tried to provide the maximum amount of furnishings to minimize our guests need to bring things or avoid frequent trips to the store.
Rental of the cabin includes a drive in car pass to Rock Bluff Springs and 5 passes to Hart Springs County Park.

What makes this property unique

This cabin is unique because it is in the center of most of the major Santa fe, Suwannee River basin springs. Plus it offers plenty of space for a group/family up to 8 on 24 private forested acres. Waterfront offers large dock for your boats and trails on the property allow for hiking and ATV, golf cart use.
For additional space a second cabin is available for rent directly from the owner. It is a 2 bedroom (sleeps 6), 2 bath modern log cabin, fully furnished. Large fenced front yard. The last 6 photos show the Suwannee Log Cabin.
