Wakulla River Retreat - a nature lover’s paradise

Relax, Unwind, Reconnect in this sunny cottage. Tucked back on 2 acres, we call this private and spacious home our “Treehouse “ with private decks and porches nestled in the tree canopies. It’s the perfect vacation home

This cheery, newly renovated, well-appointed 1.5-story sunlit cottage offers 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. Tucked back on a private wooded lot in a neighborhood that runs along the banks of the beautiful Spring-fed Wakulla River. Conveniently close to parks, the wildlife refuge, the beach and Tallahassee, there is so much to see and do within 15-30 minutes; but once you arrive, you may not want to leave this charming cottage!

Enjoy morning coffee on one of the many decks and dine outdoors or enjoy family time on the porch high up in the trees. This immaculate home is just a short 4 minute walk to the river where two kayaks await you for a morning paddle where you will see turtles, the occasional manatee, egrets and herons.

Our home is perfectly located for quick access to state parks, rivers, beaches, and Tallahassee.
This spacious, private cottage offers the perfect space for a getaway to explore the rich, natural resources of this unique area of North Florida panhandle.

Perfect gem
Second time staying here and I'll book here from now on. Perfect in all ways but for it is 35 minutes from FSU which is both a good thing and a bad thing. Clean, in a tranquil area, right next to the river, nicely decorated, and the owner has thought of everything. It was my son's graduation, and she left goodies and a balloon and graduation cup. Super thoughtful!

Perfect Wakulla Getaway
Just book it! It's a great house that felt secluded. It is surrounded by woods with no views of any neighbors. There are multiple porches to enjoy nature and relax. The river is a short walk to a community park with a dock. The river was absolutely beautiful. There are benches so we walked down to the dock every night to enjoy the views. We also really enjoyed being able to take out the kayaks and explore. Wakulla Springs is a 10 minute drive away and a great place to spend the day. The host, Sarah, was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond. We had the best time!

Perfect relaxing vacation
My husband and I stayed at this property while visiting friends and family in Tallahassee. We loved being so close to the river and having access to a canoe. The property is very quiet and in a lovely quiet neighborhood. We had everything we needed during our stay. The home is updated and beautiful.

Family visit
Very clean, comfortable, well appointed and fun things to do nearby. The host has thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable. There was even a new toothbrush available for my son. Convenient to Tallahassee and all it has to offer. Wakulla Springs State park is a must see. A jump off the platform is refreshing. If our travels take us to this area we won’t hesitate to book again.

Awesome place with river access
We had a great stay. The house was very well stocked. The neighborhood has river access with a boat ramp just down the road that we used for paddling. The owners and the locals were both very helpful and we really enjoyed our visit.

This house was delightful. Crisp, clean and friendly. The beds were super comfortable...the outside decks allowed you to watch the local wildlife and hear all of the sounds of the woods and river "creatures". Our host was so very accommodating, helpful and always pleasant. If I am ever staying in the area again, I will try availability for this house.

Beautifully maintained property. There was a lovely welcome basket waiting when we arrived. The Hostess(Sarah) was so thoughtful and made sure we had all we needed. Also she checked on us during a storm to make sure we were all okay. Our stay was definitely 5 stars and more!!!
