A real treat.

We had a wonderful stay at the Suwannee River Cabin from October 27 thru Oct 29th. Everything was absolutely perfect! We were in awe how much the cabin had to offer. Beside coffee and some food, you really have nothing more to bring than yourself. Everything else is provided.........and I mean everything!!!! In- and outside. it's truly like being home. Although we arrived half an hour too early, we were warmly welcomed by John and his 2 lovely dogs. He immediately showed us around, and made sure we felt comfortable. He borrowed my son his personal fishing gear. Not that it brought any luck, but it really didn't matter. Just enjoying fishing at the cozy setting of his dock was worth catching nothing. :) Relaxing in the hammock overlooking the beautiful river, using one of his canoes exploring the springs, hanging out at the camp fire, and last but not least, sitting high above the ground on the deck at any given time of the day, enjoying the quiet surroundings....... What a treat. It was an unforgettable weekend. If we had to say what we loved most, it would be EVERYTHING! Thank you John, my 70th birthday sure was one I won't forget!

Perfect vacation

We had a wonderful stay at the Suwannee Cypress Cabin for the months of January and February. The cabin was very comfortable with everything we needed and things we didn’t even know we needed. We felt right at home as soon as opened the door. John is an attentive host. He gave us a tour of the cabin, gave us tips on where to buy what in the area, places to eat and shop, as well as so many points of interest. We highly recommend this place.

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.

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.
