Cozy Historic Cottage on a Private Island / Real Old Florida/Close to Springs!

Originally built as the "cook house" for this 1890's home that at one time was a winter retreat where the owners arrived by paddle boat.

This cabin has been lovingly upgraded and restored with a kinds of fun details. You will enjoy a view of the jungle out your French doors from the kitchen or the bedroom and are welcome to enjoy the sunrise on the dock or our big front porch as well.

15 minutes boat ride to some of Florida's most famous natural springs, go fishing off your own dock, do a little hunting, ride bikes, hike the island, or just sit in a rocking chair on the porch with the lake view or the jungle view - this private island is for you. Located just a 15 minute boat ride from the famous Silver Glen Springs and Salt Springs. We have bikes and a canoe available as well.
