Cabin

Rum Island Cabin is a cozy, one room cabin on the Santa Fe River and springs in north central Florida. Rum Island Park is 1/4 mile walk along the river, and the cabin sits about 100 feet from a small clear spring. We are close to High Springs (6 mi.) and Gainesville (25 mi.) High Springs is known for antiques and restaurants. Gainesville is the home of the Gators, and has many museums, shops, and nightlife.

We had a great time. The cabin was exactly what we were looking for. It was secluded but not far from the grocery store and other places. It was a perfect getaway for two.

About the neighborhood

Rum Island Cabin is a cozy cabin nestled in a small clearing in the north florida woods on our 10 acre property. A short walk leads to a small, pristine spring at the Santa fe River. Rum Island Spring Park is a 1/4 mile walk through the woods. Swimming, picnicking, snorkeling and floating are the major activities. There are many beautiful and diverse state parks within 5-15 miles that offer swimming, cave-diving, hiking, birding, and relaxing in nature. Enjoying nature in our peaceful, rustic surroundings is our main draw. The charming town of High Springs is 6 mi. away with unique shops and restaurants. Gainesville, and the University of Florida, is 25 miles away and offers museums, events, music and booming nightlife. There are several canoe/kayak outfitters close by...one righ...
